In today's Nets news update, several NBA teams are said to have expressed interested in Brooklyn Nets unrestricted free agent Paul Pierce - and one noted NBA analyst has heard rumblings that he will listen.
Here's ESPN's Marc Stein with a breakdown of the current market for Pierce, including one team who believes that Jason Kidd's departure makes them a prohibitive favorite to land "The Truth":

However, until Pierce concretely states that he is willing to leave the Nets, this is all merely speculative.
