Reading through Chad Ford's column on ESPN.com.

I had never heard this:

Ainge has had two good opportunities to trade Pierce in the past year and passed on both.
His first came last year at the trade deadline. After the deadline, I was told that the Celtics had a chance to get Andre Iguodala and Samuel Dalembert (very close to a trade I actually hypothetically proposed before the deadline) as part of a larger package for Pierce. The Celtics passed.

Isn't Pierce "happy" again?

Bird loves Pierce!

Isn't Pierce "happy" again?

He's been a different guy this season. After that debacle in Indiana during the playoffs last year, I wanted him gone. I'd be sad to see him go at this point, though.

I give credit to either his agent or handlers.. they have turned him around this season.

We'll take him.

You guys can take this guy.

I'd take Peirce for Igudala\dalembert.Igudala is one dimensional and dalembert is overpaid and really dumb.The Sixers paid Dalembert to much money and I bet is why the deal never happened.Plus the sixers would have no center.
