Would you trade Paul Pierce now at 32 for a 25 year old Carmelo Anthony?

Yes, it gives us a much bigger window to win

As a fan? No way, never, not in a million years. Paul retires a Celtic. Carmelo who? Isn't that a candy bar?

As a GM, yeah, you kind of have to make that trade if it's straight up and you want to keep your job.

How is he trying to bait? It's an honest question and if your not a homer then you should have no problem with it.

I would do it in a heart beat, As a fan I want my GM to do anything possible to extend windows and keep us a winning team as long as possible.

Everyone keeps saying "extend the window" as if there would be a window without Pierce. Being a "winning team" without a chance to win a championship sucks. If you don't believe 'Melo can lead a team to a championship then you don't make the deal.

I am sure some of you would chose 5 years of 55 wins and a second round playoff exits over one championship, to me that isn't winning that is losing.
