[LnGrrrR]

Quick, someone post a Darth Vader gif here.

I said I was cool with trading Pierce/KG to CONTENDERS... blah!

I think they could be a borderline contender with Brooke, Coach Killer, and Allan Houston the sequel.

Celtics, Nets deal has reached ownership level, league source tells Y! Jason Terry joins Pierce and Garnett in package, source says.

The Nets would send back Reggie Evans, sign-and-trade for Keith Bogans and one more minimum level player as part of package, source says.

Nets
Trading half their roster for Pierce, KG, and Terry

Yeah, but it's the ty half of their roster. Pretty enormous upgrade for them.

[Clipper Nation]

Still don't see them getting past Miami, but at least they'll be better than those got Knicks, tbh...

[DPG21920]

Ya, this is a no lose situation. They get rid of all their non-talent, add two great vets whom have gas left and both of those vets happen to have short contracts so if it fails, you are still good.

[Koolaid_Man]

Why?! They're both done. Garnett can't move, and Pierce can't make shots because he can no longer get separation.

Just foolish.

Give me Garnett right now over Pau

[Koolaid_Man]

and give me Pierce right now over Meeks

[Homeland Security]

So if those two teams swap that much of their rosters, does that mean that ultimately the Los Angeles Clippers are the Boston Celtics, the Boston Celtics are the New York Nets, and the Brooklyn Nets are the Buffalo Braves? Who cuts the retirement check to Dolph Schayes? Do the Celtics retire #32 for Kevin McHale or Doctor J? Do they have to send a cut of their TV money to St. Louis?

Nets-Celtics deal:

Nets receive: Garnett, Pierce, Terry

Celtics receive: Wallace, Humphries, Bogans, Evans, Shengalia, 3 first round picks



Picks going tonight are 2014, 2016, and 2018. Trading your 1st round picks 3 and 5 years down the line is dumb imo..

[BatManu20]

Nets would have Kevin Garnett as their 5th scoring option. Starting 5 will be:

D-Will
Joe Johnson
Pierce
KG
Brook Lopez

[jeebus]

So the nets are still out of the playoffs/first round fodder and the Celtics are done. the eastern conference never fails to deliver.

[LakerHater]

If this trade goes down, the Brooklyn Nets' starters may be Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Brook Lopez!!

DAAAMN!!

Lakers 2.0 imo

You got Lopez with feet problems, an ancient KG and Pierce, Is Joe, and Deron "eh, I might give effort tonight" Williams.

[Clipper Nation]

Would be funny if KG refused to waive it, tbh....

meh, Brooklyn will pad up them wins vs the compe ion in the East...they won't be as bad as the Lakers record wise imo

Truth bombs.... it's essentially between them and Indiana now for who's gonna be the Heat's every year, tbh
