His toughness on a consistent basis is questioned. As is his age. And the level of competition he's faced.I like Brewer a lot, and I also think the xenophobia over that Chinese guy is kind of sad.
Now that I have distanced myself from the initial disapointment of the lottery, come to think that it is time to blow the whole thing up.. trade Pierce to somewhere he can contend for a championship.. get some "mid-level" players, build around your core of Jefferson, West, Gomes.. make a decision on Green and then use the money to bring in some vets.. not convinced or think whoever they draft @ 5 will make a huge difference.. and time to move Pierce on, he has a lot of miles on himself and needs a change of scene. We are in need of a serious infusion of new blood and talent.
I think they have to trade Pierce this season because he will be 30, and his value will only get worse from here. I'd desperately try to move him to Chicago for someone in that Deng/Gordon/Tyrus Thomas + a pick crowd.
I don't know all the combinations, but this is what I have in mind, seems that Pierce could turn on us quickly.. do not want to see a seasoned player not wanting to play.
