If News Orleans is indeed looking to save big bucks this year and years to come I might offer them this package that will save them $7 million this year and maybe a ton more if certain players opt out next year

Boston sends Pierce, Scal and Tony Allen to NO
NO sends David West, Tyson Chandler, and Peja Stojakovic

NO is getting the best player in the deal in Pierce, they are cutting $7 million off the books this year which gets them under the luxury tax and they have $6 million expiring and probably another $21 million as I doubt Pierce would not opt out next year.

Boston gets a back up big that is almost as good as Perk. They move West to the SF spot and they have a great back up wing in Peja.
You really think Pierce would leave that much money behind by opting out? I find that unlikely.

He'd get it next year.

So we take a contract they desperately want to get out of (in Chandler) and one of the worst contracts in the league with Stojakovic.   No thanks.

How would he get the money if he opts out?

I would wait on any trades until the FA shacks out. 


If the Celtics get Wallace and then add a swingman like Hill or Parker, then those trade pieces should be saved to make a run at a good 2nd PG.
