You can say that about anything that hasn't actually happened.

This board is full of it. That's most of what is here.

We do it. They do it.

Yeah.. It's speculation. Some is more pointless, some isn't. Depending on who you ask.

This actually outlines some of the thought to why this pointless speculation might be right. Or he leaves.

But hey. KD to DC started as pointless speculation at one point. Now its confirmed to be part of the plan. As is Paul returning.

Always remember, my friend: the world will change again. And you may have to come back through everywhere you've been.

If he was vacationing in Poland, they would have flown out to meet him..

Wizards front office continuing to give Paul his props.

Ted, EG and Randy have all been on message regarding bringing him back.

12:01 AM .... nicely played.

Wizards officials encouraged by conversation with Paul Pierce tonight. Pierce, family have grown fond of DC and Pierce's role with team.

6.6 mill i pretty hard to give up at the end of your career, Even for a guy who has made as much money as PP. I hope we pull some slick and impressive moves here that might impress PP. Plus im sure he is very happy with a team that has only had him for 1 year would be so devoted to him, even though he is clearly not part of the long term plans of the team. The wizards are showing respect and class here.

This offseason is Paul Pierce's legacy.

His playoff excellence (thanks to Otto's production as well), finally convinced the Wizards brass to spread the floor.

I believe the Wizards will benefit from this evolution.

Pierce won't be here, but his impact will be felt.

That's the most insulting thing anyone has ever said to me here.
