I'm disappointed the Nets just let him walk and I truly wonder what the situation is behind all the spin.

Is it that signing Pierce to a $6-8 million deal was actually like paying $22 million when you factor in all the luxury taxes?

Did the Nets just not feel he was worth extending. It is obvious he can't guard the SF sport anymore as he is too slow but he can still score at will.

Was Pierce just keen to get out of the Nets franchise?

The Wizards are not offering much money (just the MLE) and no other premier teams came in for him (that should say something).

We didn't want to take back the junk the Clippers were selling even a 1st rounder or rookie contract player if it meant paying Matt Barnes or Dudley.

Does this mean KG less likely to return?

We have lost depth in our front court now with Blatche and Pierce not returning, two important scorers.

I guess this means the Nets management are high on Bojan and Karasev.
