the article says he'd consider a trade to a contender... a 4 game winning streak doesn't make us a contender... let's calm down... we're still a game & a half out of last place... why would PP want to come here? & more importantly, why would Danny Ainge want to trade him to a division rival?

I can think of many reasons why he would want to come here. When he says he wants to come to a contender, I think he means a team tat has a shot. There are only 3 or 4 contenders in the league, I don't think he meant it that literally. He could make us a contender.
Its funny the emotional reasons that guys give for not wanting a great player. If you can get a deal for pierce that is fair or close to fair, you do it, he is a special talent in the league, he plays big in big games, and turns it up in the crunch. We need that.
