I think you really overvalue Pierce.

What his contract extension gonna be for?  20 million per year AAV?  He had
his best year of his career and the team won 30 odd games.  This isnt a
young Shaq or a Kobe or a Lebron you are trading for.  Its a guy who is a
borderline 3rd team All-NBA player.

I would deal him in a heartbeat for the picks this year and Hinrich.
