Paul Pierce Assigns Blame for Recent Trades by the Boston Celtics originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Former Boston Celtics star Paul Pierce doesn't shy away from making headlines with his hot takes, and there's a reason why he's known as "The Truth," even if he's only expressing his opinions.

The only logical reason to consider trading Brown or White is to create further flexibility below the luxury tax line. However, the Celtics would be unlikely to get fair or comparable value in any potential trade. Therefore, the most logical outcome will be for White and Brown to remain part of the roster heading into next season.

After the conclusion of the draft late Thursday night, Celtics vice president of basketball operations Mike Zarren made it clear that Brown and White are not going anywhere. He laughed at the notion of either being traded during a video conference call with reporters.
