08:10 AM ET 03.09 | One week out from the trade deadline, is this the calm before the storm or prelude to a fizzle? "It's all over the map," said one team executive who believes that all but the best of the best -- the Bulls, the Heat and the Thunder -- will seriously pursue trades, but perhaps only six or fewer teams actually will make one. ... The Celtics are prepared to entertain offers for Paul Pierce, whose subtraction from the Boston core would be the most advantageous to the post-Big Three rebuilding effort given his age (34) and the $32 million he's owed over the next two seasons. And for those same reasons, he'll be the most difficult of Boston's top four players to move.

they are not going to trade him, he is their franchise player, and also their 4th quarter guy. He is still clutch. They should use the expiring contracts in Allen or Oneal

Pierce is in the same class as Nash, these guys have seen their best days, there's a lot of milage and hardly anything left in the tank to carry another team. The best move for players like Pierce is to retire.

Hard to figure where he could end up...don't see that he's the guy that could anybody over the top.

After the C's won their last title, I recall this guy proclaiming himself as the 'best player in the NBA' and, given that lofty title, he should fetch a high price - say two mules and a chunk of raw horse meat ;)

Sure their best days are behind them, they are in the mid to late 30s but neither would be asked to carry another team. At this stage in their career either would be a valuable addition to any team and could put that franchise over the top
