Celtics Reporter talks Pierce, Garnett
While speaking on Comcast Sportsnet New England recently, Celtics sideline reporter Greg Dickerson stated the following when it comes to F Paul Pierce's future with the franchise.
“… I know that the company that Paul Pierce hangs around in, they do not believe – and I don’t think Paul Pierce believes – that he is going to be brought back next year at $15 million. I know for a fact that people around Paul Pierce have pretty much resigned themselves to the fact that he’s played his final game in a Boston Celtics uniform. Again, Paul wants to stay – obviously for $15 million — but he wants to finish his career in a Celtics uniform…. Probably a buyout (rather than a trade)…
“(Garnett) doesn’t want to be around for a rebuilding phase for another year. If Paul’s gone, I think without a doubt Kevin Garnett is gone, either by retirement or he finally decides to waive his no-trade clause, and the Celtics maybe work something out with a Clippers team. But the list is real short. The teams that Kevin Garnett would go to, there might be two of them on it, and they both might be the Clippers and Lakers.”
i hear stephen a. talkin bout the possibility of the clipps trading blake, bledsoe, and butler for pierce, kg, and doc?? crazy. dont know if its a smart move for the clipps and i hate the clipps but wouldnt mine seeing this deal go down just to keep doc and the boys together for 1 more run. yeah pierce looked shitty this year but i still think them old dogs can get it done with the right pieces around them. i
ReplyDeleteNo way the Clips give up on Griffin with all the hype he gets. He sells too many tickets and he's a young allstar. Pierce and KG have one more year if that of good bball left. Boston needs to rebuild starting with getting rid of the last of the original big 3. Will people call KG a sellout if he signs with the Lakers?
Deletecant see it even tho kg was suppose to b a laker instead of a celtic. i would take kg over blake if u wanna win now but i agree blake sells tickets
DeleteKG, Blake and CP3 would make some noise. Clips have enough bodies to make that happen if the Celts are willing.
