Just heard strange rumor from EC source: Celtics talking about possibility of Pierce & Bradley for Eric Gordon

One of the only Gordon rumors I like. Who tweeted this?

Love this trade. I've always liked Pierce. If he'd give it his all here next year and Davis make the big jump from year one to year two, we could be dangerous next year. Plus both Bradley and Pierce are expirings next year, and Wed have the right to match any offer Bradley signed. He had an awful playoff series this year though but I like his game as a 2. He's a little undersized, but he's a great defender.

I think Pierce would go somewhere else. I don't believe he'd want to play here. He would be bought out or traded.

He also just got shot down about any truth to the Clippers trade for Bledsoe. He's leaked some good information before, but I feel like with Eric Gordon he's gone fishing.

At this point, I'll take just about anyone for Gordon as long as we don't spend any more money and they can play more than 20 games in a season. I want that cancer off this team.

:mad: come on CP3&11 (McNamara) others, get something right!!!!!

Pierce makes more than Gordon alone next year. I don't have a problem taking on the salary because we would be out of the long term contract in Gordon.

I missed this, any link?

I'd do it. We could find a trade partner for Pierce or merely buy him out. Bradley could be the defender we want.

I don't think Pierce would give any sort of effort if he were traded away from Boston. With that said, I'd still do this deal even if its just for Avery Bradley, picks and cap filler for Gordon just to get rid of this headache. I think Avery is still a beast defensively and can be that defensive wing that Monty loves.

Or we could have a nice scoring option at the 3 for a year.

Pierce wouldn't play a single second for us. He'd get bought out for non-guaranteed portion of his contract (5 mill?). He'd then go play for the minimum for a contender or retire.

This trade would be about more cap space (which doesn't really do us that much good) and Bradley.

Anyway, its McNamara, so it is likely just idle chatter and has no bearing on reality.

When does Peirce's contract expire?

To go from a poster on the board to having this many inside sources with different teams is... Impressive for Mike. I'll say that.

1yr/15,333,334 mil left

Well this is better than the last trade he tweeted. Me likes Bradley.

Buy out, no doubt. I like Bradley a lot so... maybe.

Only 5 mil. guaranteed so I also would think buyout

I think I'd want a little more...specifically their number 16 pick. If that means also shipping off Vasquez in the deal I'm ok with it. Greivis only has one more year left anyway and I think he's going to be too expensive for what we want long-term.

:biglol: I miss CP3&11 others. He was fun to go back and forth with. I can't remember what is was about but we essentially went back and forth almost by ourselves for something like 10 pages. Fun times

I'd prefer to move him to a 3rd team, if he doesn't want to play for us. Cap space is great and all, but like you said it doesn't do us much good. CP isn't coming back

Here are all of McNamara's tweets, since the OP didn't feel like posting them for some reason:

@McNamara247: Just heard strange rumor from EC source: Celtics talking about possibility of Pierce and Bradley for Eric Gordon.

@McNamara247: Pierce's contract is only partially guaranteed. Best case scenario: Pelicans can move Pierce for something. Worst case: Buy him out for

@McNamara247: Five million and have even more cap space this summer plus the young perimeter defender they crave in Bradley. Interesting
