All of what u say may be true, but you are missing a key point. Nobody on this list will likely be acquired by the C's.
Additionally, josh smith is attainable but the C's might not be able to afford him. His terrible playoff performance was no worst than pierces this year.
Al Jefferson is also attainable and a very realistic option because the jazz would probably take pierce in a trade
Also Al Jefferson is a free agent this summer, so we may not even have to use Pierce to get him in a sign and trade. I think he gets a bad rap from being in one bad situation (for him) after another. And I think that the Celtics would be a perfect fit for him.
I also think that Big Al's game (in the low post and rebounding) would fill a need for the Celtics that Josh Smith does not. He may be an excellent defender, but the team needs another consistent scorer who is willing to buy into what the Celtics is about, and that is TEAM first. And Josh Smith is anything but a team first guy.
Red Auerbach once said that he would rather have a guy who can score than a guy who just plays great defense but is not a great scorer, because you can teach defense if the guy buys in, you can't teach a natural ability to score. Big Al is a scorer. Josh Smith is a shooter who gets streaky.
