Later, Woj noted that the deal will have to wait for the Celtics to make a decision on Pierce's contract. The Celtics have a team option on Pierce's contract for 2013-14. They must decide by Sunday whether to pay him his full $15.3 million contract or buy him out.
Celtics, Nets couldn't potentially complete deal 'til moratorium ends July 10, source says. Teams need Pierce's 13-14 salary to make it work

Chad Ford adds that none of the picks in the trade would be 2013 picks.
Hearing Nets 22nd pick in this year's draft is NOT in play in Celtics-Nets talk. Future picks for Boston.
