The Celtics wanted Dirk Nowitzki in the ’98 Draft. They got Paul Pierce. Who would have been the better pick?

Welcome to Boston.com’s Sports Q, our daily conversation, initiated by you and moderated by Chad Finn, about a compelling topic in Boston sports. Here’s how it works: You submit questions to Chad through Twitter, Facebook, email, his Friday chat, and any other outlet you prefer. He’ll pick one each day (except for Saturday) to answer, then we’ll take the discussion to the comments. Chad will stop by several times per day to navigate. But you drive the conversation.

Paul Pierce is obviously a first-tier Celtics legend. It’s still strange to see him wearing another uniform, and he’s played for four teams now.
