Two Friday Notes

Some things to think about as the weekend kicks off ... 1. There is a new Paul Pierce rumor over at CelticsBlog.com. Supposedly the L.A. Clippers are hot after Pierce (does Donald Sterling know this?). The rumored "deal" would most likely bring athletic swingman Corey Maggette to the C's, possibly along with power forward Chris Wilcox or center Chris Kaman. The deal could also include Marcus Banks going west for the talented Shaun Livingston (that's doubtful). 2. When will Nuts Barry return to Fenway? According to a source inside Aramark, Nuts may be sent on a rehab stint to either Pawtucket or Portland. However, if he goes on rehab, do not expect to catch any peanut bags from the long time Fenway nut tosser. Instead, Barry would probably be throwing bags of Cracker Jax -- they are slightly lighter and they would allow him to build up arm strength.
