Get Better or Else

From Chad Ford's chat on ESPN.com right now:

"Tony (Brookfield, CT):
Why are the Celtics not actively shopping Pierce? Isn't it time to really throw in the towel in Boston and completly start over?

SportsNation Chad Ford: (12:12 PM ET ) I think Danny Ainge should listen to the podcast today. Pierce is also represented by Jeff Schwartz, Kidds agent. While he maintains that Pierce's desire is to retire a Celtic, he's growing impatient and thinks that i if the Celtics don't get a lot better soon, the scales will tip and Pierce will want a chance to play on a team that has a shot at a championship. My guess is that the deadline is this summer. I think Ainge is trying to make a big deal, he just doesn't have a lot of takers."

- You kind of had to see this coming. With all that has gone on - the epic losing streak, Wally Szczerbiak's terrible health, Pierce's earlier comments about trading the draft pick, and the fact that he's not getting any younger - I'm surprised it has not come up earlier.
