NBA RUMORS: WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 7, 2005
A trusted source informs InsideHoops.com that the Boston Celtics are expected to trade Paul Pierce to the Denver Nuggets for Andre Miller and Nene. More players would be involved.
beat me to it by one minute.
The Celtics have 9 point guards already. Why would they trade for another one?
For Nene. They have PGs they can easily move. Also they don't really have a seasoned PG.
for the same reason mr thomas trades for 9 power forwards?
Boston would have a nice team if this went down.
It's called Shaq insurance ahole. Even I think anything more than 5 pgs is a bad idea.
Melo and Pierce would be a load at the swing positions.
If this trade goes down, the Nuggets jump up into the upper echelon of the western conference.
The Celtics would hope that a future frontcourt of Nene and Jefferson would dominate in the east.
Not that I'd worry much the Spurs torch Pierce.
alot of us Nuggets fans figured this is why we got Watson..........and why we paid a decent amount for him, looks he could be our starting PG
I am mixed about this possible trade...........i just hope it doesnt bring any personality issues with is....... if it doesn't then damn our starting lineup is looking good........
but i am worried about Camby, if he doesn't hold up then i would much rather have Nene back him up than Elson.......
i was actually hoping Nene and Boykins would be gone but i think Boykins has more marketing power than Dre in the Denver region and that means alot in tis business
so pierce would play sg, while melo played sf? not bad, with martin,camby and who ever played pg. If they werent a 55 win team before, they are now.
Earl Watson would start as PG , im pretty sure Boykins wouldnt get the start......
our team would be
Watson/Boykins
Pierce/Lenard/Buckner/Person (talking about bring him back)
Melo/Johnson/Kleiza (he slimmed down for the SF position)
Kmart/Najera
Camby/Elson
With Julius Hodge playing the 1,2 or 3 position
Pierce is on the books for nearly $14 million and Nene for $3. What's Miller making next year?
5mil 8hunded gs
Nene is close to $3.5mil and Dre is close to $7mil
Nuggets are better than the Spurs if this goes down.
Realgm's trade checker says Pierce for Nene, Miller, and Najera works.
7,426,666 to be exact, I was looking at 04-05 when I saw the 5 mil
lol i wouldnt say that............this could mess with our team chemistry ALOT ...... we finished the regular season on a hot streak and alot of us think that Kiki should just wait till mid season to see how the Nuggets are going and then pull off a trade....but either way, we get a great SG
id rather it be Camby and Boykins but the Celtice aren't going to take an old center with injury issues over a young guy with huge upside
Hasn't this re been banned yet?
i can't see us trading Najera as well.........
Nene and Miller for Pierce works fine too

Due to Denver and Boston being over the cap, the 25% trade rule is invoked. Denver 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.
