Pierce believes that he is still a good fit for the Dallas Mavericks and will be able to shoot the ball without any defensive responsibilities, something he claimed was what the current roster does all the time. “I fit on Dallas team right now. I can go out there and shoot threes and play. No defense.” Garnett wasn’t buying it, though. But, it was too late.
