Paul Pierce on Lakers: You can trade D-Lo too and get some draft picks and just let them roll. Kevin Garnett: Hell no. Laker Nation ain’t going for that. Pierce: AD is still good so do him justice and give him an opportunity to go somewhere and play for a title because it’s not happening in LA.Source: YouTube What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Paul Pierce on Jimmy Butler: He can’t get the Rockets over to the top. He can get them a for sure spot in the playoffs but like, if I’m Jimmy and I’m looking to try to win it, probably you got to go to Golden State. Kevin Garnett: Golden State over the Mavericks? Pierce: He doesn’t fit with them. He doesn’t fit with Luka Doncic. -via YouTube / December 14, 2024
ESPN’s Shams Charania reported the Heat are listening to trade offers for the six-time All-Star. If the Heat had overcome the Denver Nuggets in the 2023 Finals, these rumors would not exist. Instead, NBA legend Paul Pierce believes the team that took down Butler in his latest title run could also acquire him. “Usually when players report that they want to go to these teams, it usually don’t end up like that,” Pierce said on Speak. “If I had to guess… the best fit for Jimmy Butler would probably be the Denver Nuggets.” “I think they need another go-to guy to help [Nikola Jokic] Joker out, but if they can find a way to add Jimmy Butler, I think you’re going to be seeing Jimmy and Joker raise another championship trophy if they don’t have to play the Celtics,” Pierce concluded. -via Sports Illustrated / December 11, 2024
There were no such concerns for Ray Allen Tuesday as he got introduced on the walk out to the court for the festivities. And he looked at home in the dressing room that had undergone a serious renovation and reconfiguration since he last played here. He chatted with the New Guys and greeted a reporter with golf talk. Somewhere in the middle of laughing at how age has affected the level of clubs that need to be played now, it was decided that maybe we should discuss how he’s able to feel so good here again. “I think, for the most part, time has passed, and it’s that idea of thought that as you age, you make amends with your past follies and you forgive old enemies [Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett],” Allen told Heavy Sports. “And I’m at the age now where I don’t want to have any issues with anybody, because I just want to live life and be happy.” -via Heavy.com / October 24, 2024
