As Pierce said, this isn’t his first rodeo. He’s seen teammates from Antoine Walker to Kendrick Perkins come and go. “I understand,” he said. “What the Celtics have done for me in my career, I’m more than happy. They’ve kept me this long, and I’ve been able to play in a lot of good situations. You’ve got to understand the business.
WEEI: Pierce: Of course I want to retire a Celtic
I know Paul Pierce is coming off a loss in which he didn't shoot very well, but man he seems especially down in this video.
And he can say what he wants about not paying attention to all of the talk, but it's unavoidable. Because things like that interview with 10 reporters happen, and its hard for anyone to just hop in the car and tune it out. Especially after a loss like that.
You just stunk up the joint, the fans were booing, you've got reporters in your face asking about being traded... that stuff sticks with you.
We can only hope the C's figure something out...
