He's an experienced big and I think it's a decent signing for LA. I do recall him being injury prone, but they're only giving him a one year deal, so not risky for them.


I actually think he'll have more of an impact his second time around. He's one of many who needed to mature and develop their
game a bit...

I would love to have Pierce on this team as an 11-12th man mentor type. I don't want him to sign here and retire. I want him to play his last season as a Celtic. Whether it's this year or next.

He is done cooked no way do I want him taking one minute from a young players. He is only coming back to not go in hall same year as K B.
He was done last year.

What are the Pierce rumors? You just do something like Jerebko or Jerebko/Young for Paul, LAC gets fresher legs, we get a retirement tour for one of our all-time greats.
Please God No.

I'm sorry. But he's **** Paul pierce and cooked or not. It would be awesome to have him back on the team as a veteran leader.

lol now that's insane. You'd think Roger Goodell was running the show over there. It's weird because there's a lot of good laughing and scratching over there and once in a great while the ban hammer comes out over stuff that isn't anywhere near offensive.

Not that weird imo. Just very poorly modded and modded for the wrong issues. Probably why the quality of basketball discussion is so low, in stark contrast to the rest of realgm.

I tried to appeal one of my warnings and I argued my case because all I did was tell a joke to a stupid OP and they rejected it because I wasn't apologetic. Wtf, they let you appeal and tell you to argue your case not to apologize. You can't do both...

Yeah, me too. As if I'm going to be sincerely apologetic about posting a gif. The gif wasn't even offensive. Smh.
