Paul Pierce believes his new team is primed to make a run at the Eastern Conference title, although the veteran small forward has a bigger goal in mind for the Brooklyn Nets: capturing the NBA championship. "I think we're going to be right up there with the best of them," Pierce said Thursday. "Obviously I would've loved to have finished my career in Boston, but that day and age is finally over with. My ultimate drive is winning a championship." Pierce was introduced in front of a large media contingent along with Kevin Garnett and Jason Terry at the Barclays Center. Garnett, Pierce and Terry were obtained in a blockbuster trade with the Boston Celtics. Source: ESPN New York
