There it is… the question has been been answered. Paul Pierce is retiring after this upcoming season.
On one hand, yes, it’s time. He’s going to be 39 this season and his production has dropped significantly. He’s having trouble heating up off the bench for the Clippers and, really, he’s probably only still there because they’re capped out and have no real choice but to run it back with the team they have.
On the other hand, though, it’s sad to see this ride come to an end. Yeah, it basically ended when Pierce was traded to Brooklyn… but we always knew he was around. Now… now the clock is just ticking until the day he signs with Boston for 1 day and retires a Celtic.
It’s sad that he will go on his farewell tour as a backup on the Clippers. That’s not how this was supposed to go… but what ever really goes according to plan in life?
We’ll now have a full season to put our final Paul Pierce tributes together. For now, I’m just going to dream of right elbow fadeaway jumpers that never seemed to miss.
