Via the Lawrence Journal:Pollard is not pleased with the way his career came to an end in Boston.
He received a championship ring for a season that ended because of surgery in February.
“I got hurt in September and played until February. They said I
needed surgery. It hurt that they didn’t invite me back for another
year,” said Pollard. “I played hurt all year and then they replaced me.
That’s the business, the NBA. It didn’t hurt my feelings, but it would
have been nice if they said, ‘Let’s pay him back (for playing hurt) and
give the guy an offer.’’’Pollard is wrong about one thing - it did hurt his feelings. These guys aren't robots. I don't care how many times they say the phrase - "it's a business" - emotions get involved. Now if you'll excuse me, my Lifetime movie is about to start and I could use a good cry.

Why the Boston Celtics' 17th Championship Meant So Much
There are some things you know you’re never going to forget.
In my sports life, a few of those memories stick out.
There was my first trip to the Boston Garden, when I got to see Larry Bird and the Celtics take on the New Jersey Nets. I was very young at the time, but knew even then that I would never forget my first glimpse of the famous parquet floor. There was...
Is This Ray Allen's Last Hurrah With The Boston Celtics?

So they traded the pick, along with Delonte West and Wally Szczerbiak ...
