For a clue of what is ahead, it helps to look back.

It sure sounds like at least Doc Rivers is coming back next year.

Take it for what it is worth, but this is two members of the media now saying the same thing.

He was once the centerpiece of a deal that started the KG era. Could he be the catalyst for the end of that same era?

Paul Pierce was almost sent to Dallas at the deadline, could he be headed there this summer?

Allow me to diverge from my own beaten path and explore the option of trading Rajon.

Rumors are running rampant but believe nothing until you hear it from Wojo.

Consider this the opening salvo of rumors between these two teams. They were reportedly close near the deadline and now--according to Stephen A. Smith--they're flirting again.

It will be an interesting offseason and the most important man involved in it isn't Pierce or Garnett or even Doc Rivers. It's Danny Ainge.

I know that Danny Ainge will kick the tires on just about anything, but I still don't see a Pierce trade as being very realistic.
