Pierce for Gay isn't horrible...but Gay has a huge contract and isn't a superstar. A good player, yes, but for that many years and dollars, I'm skeptical. Paul for (indirectly) Pau could be good...but, again, the contract issue looms. Pau is getting 19 and (almost) 20m this year and next. That's a lot of dough. But...maybe its not terrible in that its only one more season. Of course...I'm not sure which Pau we would get, either. If he's healthy and playing well, he is a great player. If he's not...I'd prefer the Captain.
