1. Paul Pierce

The Celtics would be very smart to bring Pierce back to Boston this coming offseason. He may not be able to be the superstar scorer that he was in his first tenure, but this move would ignite the fan base and also bring in a seasoned veteran to help teach and mentor the younger players. While he isn’t the same scorer that he used to be, he is still more than capable of scoring 15-16 points per game, and would be a nice upgrade for the Celtics at the small forward position. This isn’t the type of move that would help Boston compete this coming season, but Boston needs to bring Pierce back to town and have him finish his career where it started.
