It hurts to watch them being crushed on a poorly-coached team with no tradition. Pierce will be a FA this season, so I can totally imagine he comes back to the Celtics to finish his career. What about KG? He has 1 year of contract remained with the Nets. Could he announce retirement with the Nets and then come back with minimum salary to mentor the youth?  ;D

Watching KG and Pierce win a title in Brooklyn was never on my list of priorities.  I'm kinda glad they got eliminated.  I didn't want Paul getting too comfortable in Brooklyn.  I want to see him come back.  Perhaps KG can be bought out and come home.  If he retires, I hope we offer him a position with the team.

  • You ain't the boss of the freakin' bedclothes.
I think the potential of them coming back as players next season is zero, for both. Pierce still has enough left in the tank to help a team like the Clippers, and KG looks cooked. They might eventually have a role in management or coaching here, and I hope they do, but as players, it makes zero sense.

why in would kg refuse to take his 12million salary guaranteed 24million with just playing 16minutes a game?
i could see them coming back for another year in nets, this is my concern, since the perkins trade kg carried the center spot all by himself, kg wants evans to stay and not get traded to boston to cover his rebounding problems, you are the nets owner who is willing to pay anything, your main concern of all the nets players is KG, would kg retire?
this bigman rotation is not enoug
lopez slow no defense cant rebounds
blatche slow no defense avarage rebounder
plumlee rookie, do you think that is enough?

nets owner must show good sign that they care about KG, get kg some help
mirza can score and space the floor
lopez is a good shot blocker and a low post scorer
blatche a low post scorer

do you think if nets willing to pay another luxury tax and signed lets say varejao or gortat would kg retire? because lopez would probably play at mid-season of the game

and lastly guiterrez and teague are not the answers, get marshall or sessions and pay luxury tax, im ok with it, if rondo was on the nets they should have beaten the heat, he will control the offense of the game,
with this moves in off-season i could see kg and pp coming back

most heat players attack inside which the nets has no rim protection, unless u got hibbert or chandler or noah

nash has been very honest he will comeback just for the money, nets back-up PG maybe yes or no, vince carter is also a nice addition, maybe if ak47 left the team but i don't think he will

Pierce coming back to Boston is significantly more likely than KG.  KG will probably retire.  But I wouldn't say there is a 0 % chance that Pierce returns on a new contract.  Why not?  He likes it here.  Clippers are still a possibility, I guess.  But he might as well just come home and wrap up the career.

Nets GM: hello kg, we need to talk, you know we love you here in nets that's why we got you here, we still believe in your talent and we want you back in our team

KG: uhm, i'll think of it

Nets GM: aside from lopez and plumlee and blatche, since lopez needs to rest his knee and plumlee is a rookie, i saw you carrying the load of nets team at center as you did to brooklyn since lopez was injured,

KG: so yah, i did that many times in my career anchoring the defense and setting picks

Nets GM: we know you are a nice and great player that is why we gonna do our best to help you, we will sign another descent player that can help you and maybe move you to PF sometimes, are you ok with that? and its also good while lopez rest his knee

KG: what kind of big man centers are in your mind?

Nets GM: someone who can play 3rd C to help you front court, someone like mozgov kaman varejao koufos

KG: i like that idea, maybe i could play at PF sometimes and those guys could start with plumlee as back-up center while lopez rest, sounds good to me, but add another back-up descent pg to help us

Nets GM: ok kg, we will do our best to help you and sign a descent pg as you said,

(KG returns to nets and take his 12million salary)
pierce also returns

Ainge: Hey KG, would you ask for a buyout and rejoin us with veteran minimum?

KG: Absolutely, I bleed green, and Rondo is like my little brother. I've never really wanted to leave Boston anyway.

(KG return to the Celtics, along with Pierce)

Wyc should make Cheerios an official partner of the Boston Celtics.

I think KG would definitely return for a lifetime supply of Honey Nut Cheerios.

you are the nets owner and super rich who is willing to pay anything,
make kg happy get a good additional CENTER, when evans was traded kg was forced to carry the load of rebounding, heck nets fans hate evans for turnovers but 3 or 4 turnovers are not bad and not the reason you team will lose
if nets team are all healthy, they are deadly, the problem is kg's mindset, with lopez playing at mid-season for sure, plumlee foul trouble, kg 16 minutes below a game (back to back rest etc)
blatche can't defend, this team is going nowhere

i'll take the 12million and make the playoffs even its a 1st round exit, then leave the team and sign to celtics for veterans minimum for the very last time until retirement

steve nash himself is very vocal admitting he just wanted the money, if the nets willing to pay more get this guy as 3rd PG, guiterrez or teague will stay one of them

Owners usually don't build around or try to make happy 38 year old players who can only average 6 points and 6 rebounds per game.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

Paul Pierce is four games behind Robert Parish for second in all time games played for the Boston Celtics.  That might mean something to him. 

I wouldn't mind seeing him back. 
DKC Seventy-Sixers:

PG: G. Hill/D. Schroder
SG: C. Lee/B. Hield/T. Luwawu
SF:  Giannis/J. Lamb/M. Kuzminskas
PF:  E. Ilyasova/J. Jerebko/R. Christmas
C:    N. Vucevic/K. Olynyk/E. Davis/C. Jefferson

is this kg's fault? how the hell can 38 years old get some good points and rebounds by just playing 16 below minutes,
reggie evans is traded so kg is forced to carry the defense and rebounds
plumlee is a rookie fouled trouble machine
collins is a very bad signing very bad, remember when we sign shavlik? he should have gotten more minutes to help kg, doc is the coach defensive coach
blatche is hidden on the bench, man i feel like plumlee is doing better than blatche
williams is not a PG playmaker like CP3 and rondo who can average more than 10 assist
if kg and williams works on pick n' rolls this team is deadly, you got brandon bass at celtics who can spread the floor, hence nets got mirza who can also spread the floor

the problem here is d-will no assist, johnson iso and pierce iso,
pierce and johnson missed, no more reggie evans rebounder, kg can't do it alone,
pierce can't clogged and rebounds at PF, if nene was playing wizards vs nets he will kill pierce at PF for sure

on the celtics team before rondo kg pierce your main rebounders
nets team, only kg and this foul trouble guy plumlee, you are lucky if johnson and pierce got more than 10 rebounds

a healthy lopez pierce kg and ak47 back, with williams dishing some crazy passes making plays and assist, the nets are deadly

last years celtics vs knicks, if rondo was playing he should have controlled the offense
game 1 to game 7 celtics vs heat, kg is forced to go outside to defend bosh at C which leaves bass inside who can't rebounds, lebron average some good rebounding stats at that time
pero antic vs hibbert, pacers are force to go small

If the idea is to take way less money than they ever made before KG could be a coach and PP could.....well he could whip Jeff Green over his knee every day and night, so he could come back and play
