I'm on an iPhone so can't really link but I just read a story stating that Pierce's full contract is guaranteed if he is traded.  Just curious as to whether this is true, because many have suggested trading pierce to a team that wants to she salary.

I'm curious to this as well. Right now on the front page of the hoopshype rumor section it says that if Pierce is traded to the Cavs, his entire contract would be guareenteed. Kinda defeats the purpose of trading pierce to a team that needs cap relief.

Interesting.  I've never seen this reported on any of the salary sites, but that doesn't mean everything.

The Cavs have likely spoken to the Celtics about small forward Paul Pierce's availability. The latest rumor is the Cavs offering their two second-round picks for the 35-year-old Pierce. Pierce's $15.3 million contract for next year would become guaranteed if he's dealt.

I don't know if I trust it. If he is dealt before the 1st, I believe he can be bought out.

Waiting for Larry Coon's response. I'll post it if he replies. This would make PP contract less valuable for us.
