Nets, Paul Pierce Too Far Apart in Dollars?

When it comes to negotiations for Paul Pierce, the Brooklyn Nets have their number — and the veteran forward has his.

The Nets would like to pay Pierce around $6-8 million per season on a short-term contract, sources say.

Pierce, however, as first reported by Sports Illustrated and confirmed by ESPNNewYork.com, would like to be paid around $9-10 million.
