导出博客文章Los Angeles Clippers coach Doc Rivers said his team has plans in place to allow
Paul Pierce to retire as a member of the Boston Celtics if Pierce elects to end
his playing days this summer.During an appearance on The Vertical podcast,
Rivers said he believes Pierce hasnt made up his mind about his future.If Paul
decides to retire, then were going to make sure that Boston picks him up for one
day and he retires a Celtic, because thats what he should retire as, Rivers said
during the podcast released Thursday. So we have all that in place. We just dont
know what hes going to do.Added Rivers: I think Pauls going back and forth on
it, and I want to give him room. I think he deserves it. From a team
perspective, you would love that he made his decision eight weeks ago. I think
there are certain guys that you just have to give time to, and Pauls one of
them.Pierce, 38, played for Boston for 15 seasons before spending one season
apiece with the Brooklyn Nets, Washington Wizards and Clippers. He was the NBA
Finals MVP in 2008 and is the second-leading scorer in Celtics history, behind
John Havlicek.During an appearance on ESPNs The Jump last month, Pierce admitted
hes 50/50 on whether to continue playing.Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan already
retired this offseason, and Pierce and Kevin Garnett remain undecided on their
futures. On The Vertical podcast, Rivers said, It may go down as the greatest
retirement summer in NBA history.Addressing unsubstantiated rumors that the
Celtics and Clippers have talked about a deal involving Blake Griffin, Rivers
smothered the suggestion.[Celtics president of basketball operations] Danny
[Ainge] and I have talked twice this summer. One [call] was about the British
Open, and one was about another golf tournament. Thats about it, Rivers, who
handles personnel decisions for the Clippers, told The Vertical podcast.Added
Rivers: Its funny, you dont want to go out and send out a press release every
time theres a rumor about Blake. We are hoping that Blake ends his career
playing for the Clippers. Period. So when teams call, we say we have no
interest. First of all, no teams calling right now because teams know we dont
have any interest.It just tells you the different times. Things have changed.
Everyone believes that theyre media now. ... Theres so many good, credible guys.
And then theres some of the guys who are bloggers who have nothing to do with
the sport.I helped my young son trace where this started -- the Blake rumor, the
Boston rumor -- lets go there. ... My son traced it to, I think, it was a Boston
radio talk show. And the guy didnt say that we had been talking, he said Blake
would be one of the guys that the Celtics should go after. That started the next
step, to the next step, to the next thing you know it blew up. And that stuff is
tough.
