Wizards' Paul Pierce could opt out, sign with Clippers

Paul Pierce could walk away from the second year of his deal ($5.5 million) in Washington in order to finish his career in his hometown, playing for his old Celtics coach Doc Rivers and his former teammate-turned-Clippers assistant Sam Cassell for less money.

Pierce was pursued by the Clippers last offseason. The Wizards thrived with Pierce as a small ball power forward.
