Since he talked KG into going to Brooklyn, I don't see him going anywhere unless KG retires or goes with him.

I don't think its very likely he'd go there due to the playoff clashes.

I'm not sure the Heat would be all that interested in him except at a bargain rate. They need more young legs, plenty of older veterans didn't get the job done this year. I mean he's an upgrade over Battier/Rashard but not a huge one. Still leaves them with the same issues.
I would consider Pierce a pretty huge upgrade.  The simple fact that players can't leave him is worth gold to LeBron (like Ray was).  Neither of those guys have a chance of putting the ball on the floor and getting to the rim, all defenders do is run them off the 3pt line.  Pierce is also a pretty huge upgrade as a passer and a rebounder.
Philly:

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale

Pierce hates Miami, he's not the type to just turn and run to an enemy. He didn't talk to Ray for doing something similar, I don't see him pulling that much of hypocritical move.
DKC:  Rockets
CB Draft: Memphis Grizz
Players: Klay Thompson, Jabari Parker, Aaron Gordon
Next 3 picks: 4.14, 4.15, 4.19

No chance.  Pierce, Garnett, even Rondo, they are Celtics, meaning (caveat: so long as its within their on power), they will never where Laker uniforms, never wear Heat uniforms.  Never. 

Better bet, Pierce joins the Spurs with the MLE.  Now that would be fascinating.

This, if KG comes back then Pierce will play for the Nets again. If KG retires then I could see him playing for another team. But not the Heat.

I have a better chance winning a billion dollars.

I would be infinitely more upset if Pierce joined the Lakers than the Heat.
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

I agree with everyone: he's not going to join the Heat.

It does beg an interesting question though: what teams COULD Pierce join that would result in your feeling betrayed? I think for me it's really just the Heat. Maybe the Knicks, but mostly because I think it just seems pointless at this point in his career. But, yeah, I'll echo other people who said that I kind of want to see what the Spurs could do with Pierce. I mean, I think he's better than Boris Diaw, and look how Diaw killed in the playoffs.

When I saw the title of this thread I threw up in my mouth a little.   :-X

I think Pierce has some love for Boston.  He wouldn't do that to us.
