Paul Pierce has uneasy feeling

Paul Pierce is about to start his 12th NBA season, and the Celtics [team stats] captain expects it to be one of the oddest in memory.
Paul Pierce is about to start his 12th NBA season, and the Celtics [team stats] captain expects it to be one of the oddest in memory.
Given the initial stances between the league and players on the eve of negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement (with the current one set to expire after next season), and preparation by teams for the ballyhooed 2010 free agent class, the 2009-10 season can’t help but suffer.
Toss in major free agent signings and trades by upper tier teams like the Celtics, Lakers and Cavaliers — with the rich getting richer — and Pierce sees the dynamic changing.
“I think it’s going to be a very different kind of year, man,” Pierce said. “You obviously have your teams at the top, your teams in the middle. But the difference this year is that the teams at the top got better, and the teams at the bottom didn’t get any better.
“I think that will be a concern — that things get lopsided for teams at the top — especially going into a new collective bargaining agreement. They’re going to have to try to see how they can balance out this league, especially with the small-(market) teams that can’t get the big time players in free agency.”
