Pierce will be 35, while KG will be 36. Why would he sign with the rival team that have less than a year of championship window?
There’s never been a time in history when we look back and say that the people who were censoring free speech were the good guys.

Capspace. With more than 30 million to spend, they can build the team however they want.

If we're just talking about capspace, not just sign with Indiana, Charlotte, NYK or NJ instead?

There are 3 reasons why Dwight would join the celtics... Doc, Rondo and yes, Kevin Garnett. He doesn't hate KG at all.
umm, do you remember this?

Howard doesnt like KG at all.
Have you ever heard of the saying what goes on the court stays on the court. Look at Ewing and Jordan they were about to fight each other after MJ scored a big bucket on Ewing and then taunted Patrick. Did they hate each other? No they're good friends.

Indiana and Charlotte are small market teams with not much of a winning history and more importantly they have got so so management running things at best. You can't win titles with a mediocre FO. The other two big market teams are already in play (well maybe not Knicks).

Because they don't have Rondo. Howard might rather play with D-Will though but the others don't have a great pass first point guard.

How is Rondo a good fit with D12? he can't space out the floor for D12. Nor could he play PnR with him because of his lack of shooting.
