Paul Pierce: Bring Me a Co-Star or Trade Me

Something tells me Paul Pierce has been following the drama surrounding Kobe Bryant this summer. Call it a hunch.

According to Yahoo! Sports columnist Adrian Wojnarowski, if the Celtics don't bring in another star to help out Paul Pierce, the 30-year old shooting guard is going to request a trade.
Here's the problem for Ainge: According to a league executive, Paul Pierce has finally told team management that unless the Celtics come out of this week with a talented veteran co-star for him, they should expect him to make a public declaration soon after Thursday's draft that he wants a trade.

"Danny is under tremendous pressure, from inside and outside, to get a deal for someone done this week," one league executive said.
Unfortunately for Pierce, fellow NBA stars don't seem to want to join him in Beantown.

With the pain and horror of the disastrous Lottery still fresh in the minds of Celtics fans everywhere, and now an unhappy Pierce, how long can Danny Ainge hang on to his job? I'm guessing not very long.
