Boston shopping Pierce, but not just looking to offload him. Asking for expiring contracts and draft picks. Move unlikely at that price
Oh my God, Pierce's trade value is really low.
The problem is most of the teams that would want Pierce (and that he wouldn't complain about going to) don't have much in the way of expiring contracts. The Clippers, Lakers, Nets, Grizzlies, Warriors... No expiring contracts near the size needed to snag Pierce.
Only the Spurs with Captain Jack and Matt Bonner have the expirings, and none of the rumors have them making an offer (perhaps their proximity to the luxury tax is scaring them away). That and they don't have a decent pick to sweeten the offer.
If we do move Pierce, I think we'd have to involve a 3rd team that would absorb a guy like Kris Humphries or Richard Jefferson in return for expirings or Danny would have to bite the bullet and take on a non-expiring contract just so we can get some picks/prospects out of Pierce.
