At Last, Truth Comes to Washington

Paul Pierce is taking his talents to Landover, MD.

Pierce, 36, the sweet-shooting small forward known as the Truth, was one of the few Nets players to live up to expectations.

But in the early hours Sunday, Pierce walked away from a Nets team in disarray, agreeing to terms on a two-year, $11 million contract with the Washington Wizards, according to a person briefed on the negotiations.

While the deal had not been announced officially, Pierce all but confirmed it on Twitter. Making a reference to John Wall, Washington’s All-Star point guard, Pierce wrote, “Obama, J Wall here I come.”
