Memories of the Boston Celtics Big Three Era
I’m not a big believer in “eras”; at least not as clearly demarcated periods in a franchise’s history. I’m even less fond of talk about “windows closing” on a team. Reality is a lot messier than that. Each season is unique; even for teams with little or no roster turnover. Rosters change. Individual players change. Roles change. Rotations change. The...

Report: Paul Pierce & Family Preparing to Relocate from Boston
The future of the Boston Celtics has a lot of question marks as of right now. One of the key moves to be made, is whether or not the team will decide to bring back Paul Pierce for the last year of his contract. The key is the fact that this final year of Pierce’s contract is not guaranteed and can be bought out for $5 million.
While the Celtics have yet to decide what to...

Stephen A Smith Stirring Things Up Yet Again
We all know that Stephen A Smith loves the sound of his own voice. First we had Stephen A predicting a trade of KG, Paul Pierce AND Doc to the Clippers. Um. I'm trying to remember the last time a coach was traded. None come to mind. Of course he probably meant that the Clippers would trade for KG and the Captain with the assurance that Doc would leave the Celtics...
Greg Oden comeback update: He looks unbelievable
We last discussed Greg Oden back in February, when he visited with Celtics management in Waltham with a plan to return in 2013-14. A few weeks later, we heard reports that Cleveland, Miami and Boston were in the running.
How does Greg look after 5 microfracture knee surgeries? Former Ohio State forward Deshaun Thomas tells the News Herald:
“Man, he looks unbelievable,” he said...
Kevin Garnett considering retirement, Paul Pierce could switch teams
During the 2007 offseason, a horrible Boston Celtics team coming off a 24-58 campaign made a series of moves to create an unthinkable trio of future Hall of Fame players. The Celtics first traded for SuperSonics' guard Ray Allen in a deal that was headlined by Jeff Green (who now plays for the Celtics). Three days later, the Celtics acquired Kevin Garnett from the Timberwolves...

Source: Paul Pierce’s family preparing to relocate
The Globe’s Gary Washburn has an “update” on Paul Pierce’s situation:
The Celtics have to decide by June 30 whether to buy out Pierce’s contract at $5 million. Ainge said the sides have not had discussions, but an NBA source said Pierce’s family is already beginning to prepare for relocation from Boston, assuming the Celtics will execute the buyout or trade his expiring...

Pierce's family ready to relocate?

Ainge: Doc Rivers will be Celtics coach next season
Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge confirmed Thursday that Doc Rivers would return to coach the Celtics for a 10th season. “Yeah (he’ll be back), Doc and I are talking about our team next year,” Ainge said. “(No
Doc Rivers’ Return as Celtics Coach Does Little to Clear Up Other Questions Surrounding Team
Doc Rivers will be back on the bench for the Celtics next season. That means, at the very least, that Kevin Garnett‘s departure from Boston is not utterly assured.
Any Celtics fan looking for a deeper silver lining to this news, however, will be disappointed. Rivers will remain, giving the Celtics a decided tactical advantage on a solid three-quarters of their opponents in the...
Exploring the Celtics Trade Options for Paul Pierce
The ESPN Trade Machine is a fun way to waste a Wednesday night. Danny Ainge has a multi-tiered mission ahead of him this offseason as he looks to either retool a contender on its (last) (double last) triple last leg or cash in on the reduced yet still prominent value of Paul Pierce’s in flux contract. Let’s play some trade machine and see if there’s a mutually attractive...
Paul Pierce Doesn’t Expect To Be Back With The Celtics Next Season
If you didn’t realize before this year, the 2012-2013 campaign clearly proved that Paul Pierce is an aging NBA star on the downward slope of his career. Those kinds of players usually don’t make more than $15 million a year – which is what Pierce is due to make next season – so it doesn’t come as much of a shock that the Celtics are exploring the idea of moving on without...
Paul Pierce's career with the Celtics might be over
For the past 15 years, Paul Pierce has been a Celtic. He's been the face of the franchise for over a decade, and the leader for a Celtics team that has been a title contender ever since the arrival of Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen in 2007.
His final game this year was a rough one, an 88-80 series clinching loss to the Knicks in which Pierce scored only 14 points on an abysmal...

Video: Boston Celtics 2012-2013 Bloopers and Funny Moments
I was hard pressed to find a lot of funny moments for the Boston Celtics' blooper reel this season without our past team clowns like Big Baby, Nate Robinson, Shaq, and Mickael Pietrus. But there were a fair share of silly moments that included both Celtics newcomers and vets.
This year's video includes appearances from NBA vets like Paul Pierce nearly losing his shorts while...

"It's not goodbye, it's see you later"
- Denzel Washington, John Q
After 15 years of giving everything to the Boston Celtics, Paul Pierce expects the team to part ways with him this off-season.
Kelly Dwyer of Yahoo! Sports wrote this article, which quoted CSNNE's Greg Dickerson on what people around Pierce are saying.

Paul Pierce’s Attractiveness as Trade Target for Other Teams Has Nothing to Do With Playing Abilities
Imagine you are an NBA general manager. You hate Paul Pierce‘s game. You think he is sloppy, inefficient and that he has lost a step. You would never want him on your team, whether that team is up-and-coming, rebuilding or one piece away from title contention.
You should still put some long, serious thought into trading for Pierce before June 30. And it has nothing to do with his...

Celtics Analyst Does Not Think Paul Pierce Will Return to Team for 2013-14 Season
Paul Pierce‘s future is the No. 1 discussion topic among Celtics fans this offseason. The all-time great is only guaranteed to receive $5 million of his $15.3 million salary next season, and the team could get some salary cap relief by buying him out or an infusion of new talent by trading him.
Going off a hunch, a longtime Celtics observer does not think Pierce will be back.
“I...
