Wolves Need Paul Pierce
From Marc Stein/ESPN:The Minnesota Timberwolves will be playing in Boston at a time when they've been talking trade with the Celtics, too.
Wednesday night, then, brings the Wolves as agonizingly close as they can be to the player they lust for so badly . . . but can't get.
Paul Pierce.
No player at Kevin Garnett's elite level needs a scoring sidekick more than KG, and so no name circulating in the NBA's perpetually bubbling vat of speculation can hold greater appeal to Minnesota than Pierce. Approaching birthday No. 30 in May, and in his 11th season, Garnett has never been more versatile, on the floor and in those new adidas commercials. The only thing missing, as always, is a Kobe mode, where KG unleashes a string of 40-point games to rescue a roster filled with journeymen.
That's not going to happen when KG's taking 16 shots a game.
