Paul Pierce looking for 2yr deal, around 9 per year

[Hey Yo]

Pierce, who will turn 37 before next season, wants a two-year deal that is going to pay him handsomely

[RoundMoundOfReb]

You sure that's per year and not total? Like 4.5-5 mil?

Edit: Reading fail.

[NattyPButter]

Just go back to Boston and retire

[DMAVS41]

Come to the Mavs please....that price is great.

[Derka]

Gonna have to stay in Brooklyn for that money. Celtics aren't paying that for him on a retirement deal.

[fatboy11]

9 per?

Pierce is one of my all-time favorite players, but that's out there, man. 5-6 mill, I could see that. 9? Ouch.

Coming off career lows in points, assists and minutes (average). 15 to 9 is a pay cut, but dang.

[mattvNJ]

How about we human sacrifice KG, sign you PP(little less though dog) and wait for Lopez to come back and for hollins to do his work... Deal? K cool PP

[qrich]

Hope he isn't coming to the Clippers then

[Akrazotile]

Thats too much but someone will probably give it to him.

[AboutBuckets]

I highly doubt that he'll see that money. However, this has been an absurd offseason in terms of marginally good players getting overpaid, so you never know. Maybe Nets give him 9 first year and 7 second year with a team option on that second year?

[Johnny Jones]

He's worth around 6 million at this stage in his career.

Yeah, but not for players that will be 37 when the season starts.

Yeah, but not for players that will be 37 when the season starts.

Check out Steve Nash's Laker contract

[IncarceratedBob]

He's still a better player than Melo

[fatboy11]

Check out Steve Nash's Laker contract

Steve Nash signed this offseason?

Also, Steve Nash wasn't a "marginally good player getting overpaid." He averaged 12 points and 10.7 assists the season before getting that Laker deal and tied a career in FG%. Minutes average was right around his career average. He was 2nd in the league in assists right before getting that deal. Huge difference.

[Undisputed]

I would love to see him play for the Bulls. Could use a vet like him on the team, and he will play for a familiar coach. It's almost perfect if the Bulls strike out on big name free agents or can't pull a worthy trade.

[ProfessorMurder]

Can Memphis afford that?

[StephHamann]

Come to the Mavs please....that price is great.

9 per year

:biggums:

even 4,5 per year is horrible, he could turn into garnett-nash-washed up mode every day now

[DMAVS41]

9 per year

:biggums:

I thought it was 4.5 a year. 2 years 9 million total. LOL

My bad.
