After 14 season with Boston, Paul Pierce is finally considering retirement. Â Although he still has a lot of ball left in him, he wants to retire a Celtic so a trade could possibly influence his decision. Â Read more after the jump.
In an excerpt from an interview with ESPNBoston.com columnist Jackie MacMullan, 34-year-old Celtics forward Paul Pierce ponders his future. Would he consider retiring after his 14th season in Boston despite having another two years and more than $30 million left on his deal?
“It’s crossed my mind,” Pierce told MacMullan. “I’ve played a lot of years, ran a lot of miles. You just gotta wait and see what’s going to happen this year. You never know what direction this team is going to head in. You don’t know what Kevin is going to do, don’t know what Ray is going to do. This team could be in a rebuilding situation starting this summer. Like I said I always wanted to retire a Celtic, so who knows.”
