    The Wiz are solid no doubt. But Pierce deserves to be on a contender. Does he really wanna retire a Wizard?

    The Wizards are pretty good. Much better than the Nets moving forward. It's a perfectly respectable signing. That gives them a little more time to develop Otto Porter, too.

    I'm thinking he'll go back to Boston (for the vet. min or something) to retire.

    I thought he would have gone to LA. Clippers or lakers but clippers were out of money and I think lakers don't know what's going on.

    In your face Mavericks, I hope Deng signs with the heat and Marion with somelne else.

    Leaving Cuban with nobody.

    He's 36. Doubt he has much left.

    Nice I like it, Pierce will be a great teacher and locker room guy with to Wall, Beal and Porter. At the same time he will be very solid in there starting line up, I can see him scoring 15+ points and being a factor on that team. Don't forget the Wizards were a second round team, they can win.

    Wall/Miller
    Beal/Webster
    Pierce/Porter
    Nene
    Gortat

    Fun team.

    Wiz are a very solid team and DC is a GREAT city. The East is wide open next season. Paul could be a guy that helps put the Wiz in the ECF in 2015.

    Pierce is still capable at 36. Nets team is limited with Deron/JJ taking most of the shots.
