Boston shopping Pierce, but not just looking to offload him. Asking for expiring contracts and draft picks. Move unlikely at that price

This news coupled with the renewed talks between the Clippers and Celtics for KG makes sense. Pierce and Garnett's fate were always tied together; one of KG's stipulations to waive his no trade clause was that Pierce would have to be dealt, too. There's no way one would leave the other in Boston for a re-build.
