Paul Pierce to Wizards on 2-year deal

— -- After a short stay in Brooklyn, Paul Pierce is heading to the Washington Wizards.

Sources close to the process told ESPN.com on Saturday that Pierce has committed to sign a two-year, $11 million deal with the Wizards, who moved swiftly to find a title-tested replacement for Trevor Ariza after Ariza struck an agreement earlier in the day to join the Houston Rockets.

The contract, sources said, has a player option after this season that will allow Pierce, 36, to return to free agency next summer if he chooses.

Bojan Bogdanovic, whom they acquired in a draft-night deal in 2011, for their mini-midlevel exception sometime this week, according to sources.

The Nets, a league source told ESPNNewYork.com, still expect Garnett to return for his final season under contract. He is set to make $12 million.

Garnett, though, has not talked this summer, and it is unclear what he thinks of the departures of Pierce and Kidd.
