    Didn't see this anywhere else, but Paul Pierce is on trial/training with Chelsea. Not sure he would be eligible for a work permit though, as he doesn't have the required caps.

    As has been discussed many times, Allen Iverson, Barry Sanders, or Michael Vick would be much better options.

    Well he was stabbed 11 times so i don't think a couple of shots off the ribs and hands from the likes of Essien, Drogba, Sheva, Lampard, or Ballack are gonna phase him. Shit, i bet he's already a better #2 than Hillario! :D

    BTW this is more impressive than Steve Nash's trial with Red Bull NY!

    Dirk Nowitzski wouldn't have to deal with work permit issues, and he's the MVP.

    Chelsea can't afford Peirce anyway.

    They have no cap room remaining.

    honest question: could an argument actually be made for the use of caps from the basketball world championships and olympics for a work permit?

    lame joke: i think the exceptional talent rule would apply for paul
