As much as I think Mashburn would be terrific
coming off the Celtics bench, trading Pierce for him would be stupid. 
Potapenko, while a big body, is average at best.  Sometimes, the best
trades are the ones you don't make.  Cleveland, during the time of the
draft was interested in trading
Wesley Pearson for Pierce.
