Dallas-Mavs.com Forums - View Single Post - Putting some needs together...and netting Pierce

Personally I believe Ainge trades Pierce for Harris, TAW and Fin. He's clearly rebuilding and the piece he really needs is a young PG that's Harris, and he'll be a star. Fin makes sense because he'd provide some veteran leadership for the young guys and he's a class act. TAW would be a good filler piece and has some cap value.

The real debate should be is Pierce the piece that puts the Mavs over the top in the west. He is a great player, but is he a 2 or a 3. This very well may be Josh Howard's break through year... as an All Star. JHo needs to start at the 3. Honestly, I see Doug Christie being a better fit on this team than Pierce.

If Dallas can somehow keep Devin, and acquire Pierce than I'd say the future looks really bright: Still I don't see any way of doing this. I don't see any reasonable trade between Dallas and the Celts.

But WTH here is a trade just to keep the forum focused:

[b]Successful Scenario [\b]
Due to Dallas and Boston being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. Dallas and Boston had to be no more than 125% plus $100,000 of the salary given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
