According to multiple reports, former Celtic Paul Pierce has agreed to a two-year, $11 million deal with the Wizards with an option to become a free agent after next season.
The 36-year-old replaces Trevor Ariza on the Washington roster after Ariza agreed to terms with the Rockets earlier Saturday. Pierce had drawn interest from the Rockets, Dallas and the Lakers before agreeing with the Wizards.
Pierce spent one year with Brooklyn, averaging a career-low 13.5 points per game, having totaled 21.3 points per game for his career.
