Paul Pierce should end his career in a Celtics uniform.

Does anyone envision this happening? What would the Clippers even want?

It will happen before the end of the year.

I think if Pierce would ask to go to Boston in the deadline, Doc would trade him. I think it would be on DA to pull the trigger to get Paul. Something like Green and Young for him would work.

From a money making standpoint, Celtics front office might not want to approach this until after Sunday's game.

My prediction: Talks will start will Doc when he gets to Boston and something like Green and Young, as mentioned above, will get done.

Lets talk about that after the game. Right now Cs should concentrate on beating the Clippers.

What would they want? Probably both nets picks.  ;D

This would be a purely sentimental and symbolic move.   Basketball wise it does not make sense, folks.   I thought PP would sign a one day contract to retire as a C.   Still gets the same thing accomplished without the heart driven illogical move.

I love Paul but danny would be dumb to give up anything more than a late first or 2nd round pick for him at this point.
I'd see him more signing 10 day contract next year but really he doesn't need to
He's a CELTIC.  Cousy, Russell, Hondo, Tommy, Cowens, Bird, McHale, Pierce.  Fits nice.

Welcome him back as any spot when he's done.  He would be 3rd string sf maybe 4th for us at this point.

I'd give the clips the 2017 BRK pick to get Peirce back this season.

(we'd still get 2 top 3 picks for the trade. win win)
My biases, in order of fervor:
Pro:
Smart, Brown, Hayward, Tatum, Kemba, Grant Williams, Sleepy Williams, Edwards!

Anti:
Kanter, Semi, Theis, Poierier

Maybe this is the way we can facilitate Melo to LAC. We get someone like Speights, Hernangomez, or O'Quinn along with Pierce. Pierce gives us the veteran leadership in the playoffs and hopefully some quality backup minutes alongside a scorer like IT (when he plays with the second unit) and one one of those bigs to address our rebounding.

What would we be willing to give up? Zeller for salary? What pick? Rozier? Olynyk?

I know you are kidding, but that would be one of the worst trades in NBA history.

still probably not worse than the original boston/Brooklyn trade.

Definitely worse.

PP will sign a one day contract at the end of the season to retire a Celtic. That's enough. He's washed up as a player and they'd have to pay us to take him back at this stage.
Jaylen Brown will be an All Star in the next 5 years.
