I think at this point if you deal Pierce or especially KG, you should receive a player the caliber of Josh Smith in return.

What about this 3 way with Atl and the Clips?
Celts get Josh Smith, Lamar Odom and Anthony Morrow
Clippers get KG, Jason Terry and Leandro Barbosa (make salaries match)
Atlanta gets Eric Bledsoe, Caron Butler, Brandon Bass and a future draft pick (from the Celts.)

I think all 3 teams get value and for the Celts they also get to free up cap space by dealing KG, Bass and Terry.

And if Pierce opts out of his deal next year, even more cap space gets freed (think of a possible Rondo, Smith and Dwight Howard line up opening night 2013.)

My prediction is that both Pierce and Garnett go to the Clippers on Feb 21 for four reasons:
1. Chance to beat Heart
2. Proximity to off season homes
3. Relationships with Clipper players (e.g. Chauncey)
4. Celtics have to start the rebuilding and this is a win-win

In return, Celtics could get some combination of D. Jordan, C Butler, E Bledsoe, L Odom, and 1st round pick (NOTE: not all of these; some subset).  Celts would instantly cut Odom, but others would join Celts or end up in Atlanta (as part of package to get Josh Smith).

Just my prediction ... check back on February 22.

the clippers would have to offer us the world if they want these two.

Bledsoe, Jordan, 2 first round picks, 2 2nd round picks
