They always said there is no real loyalty when it comes to business and as we all know, the NBA is a huge business. Following in his former coach, Jason Kidd’s footsteps, Paul Pierce has been reported to be leaving the Brooklyn Nets after his first season with the team.
Why has he jumped ship so soon? According to the NYDailyNews, it all comes down to dollars and cents. The Brooklyn Nets lost about $144 million dollars last season in basketball operations, the most of any NBA team. It was time to cut down all the free spending. Due to Pierce’s low scoring season, the lowest of his career, the Nets management were not willing to take another chance with him. The Washington Wizards, however, are able to award Pierce with a two year deal worth $10 million dollars.
Pierce stunned us all when he took to twitter to announce his move.
Obama , J Wall here I come

His official new teammate from the Washington Wizards, John Wall is making sure he feels welcome, even before the season starts.

This is why; some of the companies can produce the medicine with Sildenafil try that (levitra generika) citrate with their own brand names.
On a good note, Washington’s young team needs Pierce’s 16 year career expertise. How does that leave us? A Brooklyn team that’s now all pretty new including a new coach. No official word yet on if Paul Pierce would play this next season. His contract still has a year left but he has been contemplating his retirement options.
While we have cut down on our tax bracket we really don’t have the room to acquire new players. Unless they are free agents that won’t mind the lowest pay. As if basketball players don’t already make enough.
The 2014-15 NBA season for Brooklyn is sure to be a doozy.
