Why are we allowed to reacquire Pierce?

Silly trade i came up with to make money work, just to prove my point that the trade machine allows us to receive Pierce. Glitch by the machine?

We'd obviously have to give BK a pick to get him back in this deal.


With that said, [dang] i want this guy back. Jeff Green is not as good right now as a 36 year Pierce. So if the Asik trade ever picked up and we wanted to take advantage of conference injuries and make a run, would you take Pierce back as our true SF?

Rondo/AB/Pierce/Sully/Asik

Bench Green/Craw/Wallace/Bass/KO/Pressey/Lee

More trades would need to happen to work out the bench, but [dang] if we could get Asik and PP while having a bench with Green as the 6th man, we're a good team! Healthy Rondo and your a team noone want to see in the playoffs.


PP expires for 15 Mill this summer so no harm to the books.

I would love to acquire Pierce and put him as a sixth man or swap SF with him and Green. Unfortunately due to NBA rules, we can't reacquire players like Pierce until the year has ended.

I want Pierce, as the leader of the bench.

Yes, for those 12-15 mins, he can still be truly elite & lead the 3rd quarter in scoring & defense.

The thing here is that Green's got to be a starter and play a majority of the SF minutes, if the team's going to advance as a unit.

i might be wrong, but i believe the nba rules state that once you trade a player to another team, you are not allowed to reacquire that same player for 1 year.

so, let's move on past pierce now.
