Could you see the Celtics trading Paul Pierce and there two picks to a team like Golden state for an early first in order to jump head first into there rebuild?

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Paul Pierce traded for a lottery pick, especially if Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett indicate that they’re going to leave as free agents. At the trade deadline, the Celtics almost dealt Pierce to the Nets in exchange for their first-round pick (top-three protected). The Nets decided to trade for Gerald Wallace instead, but the fact that Boston was ready to pull the trigger shows what they’re looking to do. If the Celtics are ready to rebuild, it definitely seems like they’ll try to get their hands on a lottery pick or two.
