Will he or won’t he – that is the question! The Celtics have gone fishing and now it’s all about Kevin Garnett. Will he return to the Celtics or will he retire?! Well over the weekend Garnett revealed one of the major factors that will affect his decision. I’ve seen mixed reactions on Twitter and I’d love to know what Celtics fans think?!
Report after the jump…
Via WEEI:
Garnett made it very clear that his decision about next year will hinge greatly on whether Ainge brings back Pierce.
“One of the big reasons I came [to Celtics] was because of Paul,” said Garnett. “Obviously, you want to be in a situation where it’s better. I want to make sure that I’m able to always help a team. I want to be in positions to where I’m giving something. I demand a lot of myself, both physically and from a skill level. But I’d be lying to y’all if I said Paul didn’t play into that factor. Like I said, it’s too soon of a conversation for me right now.”
Pierce, who said he will play in the NBA next season, was asked if he wants to return to Boston for a 16th season.
“That’s up to Danny and them,” Pierce said. “I have no idea.”
