KG has the huge contract and hes just too old. If he had an MLE like deal to come off the bench and play big minutes fine, but he just doesnt have the game he used to. Too many miles on that vehicle.

I don't want to trade any of them, but Ray has the most tradeable contract and is the most replaceable.

PG: G. Hill/D. Schroder
SG: C. Lee/B. Hield/T. Luwawu
SF:  Giannis/J. Lamb/M. Kuzminskas

-Altho Pierce would prly get the most back, he wont be traded, been a C all his career.
-KG is the celtics defensive backbone and no one wants to pay him what we are paying him
-As for ray ray, I think he has a few years left and can definitely contribute to any team and his contract is reasonable, so i think he is the most tradeable. Plus he is the easiest to replace out of the three

Rumours Paul Pierce wanting out of Boston not happy Ainge having trouble keeping team tgether. Talk of Paul coming of the bench just the tip of the iceberg as to what's happening  behind the scenes. Things not well in Boston Could be a different looking team next yr.

Gotta be KG. Has the least left in the tank, and has a biiig expiring contract that could only add to his value. Hoping not to see any of them traded though, unless some kind of can't-miss offer pops up.

tough call.

KG has the biggest contract to move but plays the thinnest spot on the roster

PP has the most career left and could probably get the most in return but has a long deal to move

Ray is probably the most replaceable but is the cheapest contract

plusses and minuses for all 3.   I don't think Danny moves any of them

Where the heck did you hear this and is it just spectulation or not because I love Paul and think he is a Celtic at heart and for life.

Gotta go with Ray as well.  Also note he had trouble guarding Wade.  (of course not an easy assignment)

We've heard almost nothing from Paul or any of the other players since the season ended, nothing to see here except a false rumor

Garnett has the big expiring....

Tough call though, whatever we trade away, we will have to give more than an aging player with an expiring contract away to get something good back...our best option may have to be to let these contracts expire, and then see who we can sign...

I am kind of hoping for a lock out as a shortened season may help out our aging guys be fresher for the playoffs.. :p

Or we'll have to play more back to backs and it'll be detrimental.  :-\

Can't really see trading off PP . But, thats normal thinking.. Danny always does the thing you LEAST suspect. So.....I'm going to predict totally based on Danny being Danny he lets PP go .  :'(

I guess IF I "HAD" to deal one guy off,. I guess it would be RA.

I really think its time to unload now not latter or retire or resign for low money .  

Next year would definetly be the BIG THREEs last "GASP" for a banner.  With out young leaping rebounding shotblocking bigs to help them , they are just over matched at this point in their careers. Bring in Marc Gasol or a Chandler and yes the BIG three could still be decent.  ANother slow big like Perk that can't jump isn't going to help .
