Report: Pierce expects to be traded or released

[TheReaLPuba]

Declining the option on Pierce helps the C's how?

By saving money?

It doesn't get us under the cap.

And trading Pierce followed by the inevitable trade of KG helps this team how?

No team is going to gift us young talented players or top 1st round picks for two aging out the door stars.

The only option for DA is to trade for a late 1st rounder, then trade our own young talent for more late 1st rounders and rebuild from scratch and hope we suck for a while and get a great pick followed by a great player in the draft.
