1. Pierce wanted out when the Celtics were struggling as he entered his prime before Danny Ainge called in every favor he could from former teammate Kevin McHale and landed Kevin Garnett. Here's Pierce in his own words from the Vertical podcast in February, transcribed by CSN:He didn't show respect, he simply said are they gonna score 200 a game.
Once again, no one is applauding that.
Also, P ain't hating.
Telling the truth =/= Hating
He lost to GS after being up 3-1. Where's the lie in what P said? Couldn't beat em, joined em. Not
Hate, just truth
"It was just discouraging," Pierce explained to Mannix. "It was just like I want people to know who Paul Pierce is, what type of player he is, but the only way to do that is to be on the big stage, be in the playoffs with a shot at the championship. It was discouraging playing so well and not reaching the team success that I wanted to reach. Because at the end of the day, that's how you're going to be measured on how your team does more than what you do as an individual. When I didn't see that, the results of that, it created doubts where maybe I could go somewhere else and find that. "
Couldn't beat enough to teams to make the playoffs(missed the playoffs 2 years straight in the fukking east before kg and allen came) so he had to stack the deck and agree to add 2 allstars to his team.
