Exactly, Pierce aint going anywhere...... And the original question itself is stupid, anybody who thinks a younger Tracy McGrady isn't clearly better than Ray Allen or Paul Pierce is on drugs.
I'm not on drugs, certainly no good ones. However, Pierce not going anywhere is etched in stone? McGrady's back is a sure thing for holding up the next 10 years? Allen's shot and maturity is not ideal for inside-out game with Yao? McG selects where he plays in '04 - '05. The others do not. Pierce is East, Allen is West. Is that not a factor? What about wants and needs of three teams involved vis a vis who might be available to them for any of the three. I would gladly welcome any of them with Pierce third of three.
