Paul Pierce News

Was working on an offseason feature today when a random question popped into my head: If I had to pick between Celtics guard Avery Bradley and Knicks guard Iman Shumpert, whom would I choose? Both players are defensive stoppers.

Just heard strange rumor from EC source: Celtics talking about possibility of Pierce and Bradley for Eric Gordon.

Terrence Williams, accused of brandishing a firearm Sunday afternoon during an argument with the mother of his 10-year-old son, had bail set by a judge at $25,000 during a court appearance yesterday in Kent, Wash.

Say what you want about DMC, "crazy, headcase, bad locker room guy" but...DMC is probably the best center in the NBA and certainly has the biggest up side/talent. DMC can do it all at the 5 spot and there is not a center in the league that he would be over matched by...and he is only 22/23 years old.

The first domino to fall this offseason is Paul Pierce's contract. Until Danny Ainge figures out what he's doing there, little else matters.

Today, Kevin Garnett turns 37 years old. Every Celtics fan today is wishing him a happy birthday.

With the Celtics looking to add some youth to the roster, would Paul Pierce be available as a veteran mentor for next year's Cavaliers.

Players who aren't household names and spent the entire regular season shaded behind their teams' superstar are able to make a big enough impact on a big enough stage to really get noticed.

Apr 23, 2013; New York, NY, USA; Boston Celtics small forward Paul Pierce shoots a free throw against the New York Knicks during game two in the first round of the 2013 NBA playoffs at Madison Square Garden.

As Boston Celtics' head coach Doc Rivers looks toward the future, there are many more questions than answers.

The Boston Celtics already lost one top front-office executive this offseason and could have lost another, but assistant general manager Mike Zarren reportedly turned down an opportunity to become the Philadelphia 76ers' general manager.

After the Boston Celtics were bounced from the playoffs by the New York Knicks , media attention immediately shifted to whether or not head coach Doc Rivers would resign or return.

Last week Danny Ainge said something about waiting a week to make calls to guys like Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to "let them breathe" after the season.

The dialogue of the day, as it relates to the Warriors is about the offense. What happened to guards Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, whose previously torrid shooting has been a storyline throughout these NBA playoffs? That's the element consistently harped on by coach Mark Jackson.

Doc Rivers is off on a golf course somewhere, pondering his future with the Celtics and asking for time to think.

The 2013 NBA playoffs are in full swing and the NBA Draft Combine is right around the corner, but that hasn't stopped the rumor mill from churning out plenty of trade buzz.

Projected No. 1 pick Nerlens Noel, born in Everett, calls Kevin Garnett his favorite basketball player and the Boston Celtics his most beloved team.

Take it for what it is worth, but this is two members of the media now saying the same thing.

The NBA free agency will provide the Boston Celtics with options at every position.

With the NBA Draft coming up in late June, the remaining 24 NBA teams that are not in the postseason have begun their preparations.
