News

The guard has continued to talk with the Celtics and they seem close to re-signing Pierce.

Sources say the guard is close to signing a 4-year $60-62 million deal, it’s not sure that the 4th year is guaranteed.

Pierce, who opted out of the final year of his contract and sacrificed $21.5 million, is taking a significant reduction to help the Celtics re-sign unrestricted free agent Ray Allen and bring in another quality player.

Pierce has spent his entire 12-year career with the Celtics. Pierce is first in 3-pointers, second in steals, third in total points, eighth in games played and ninth in rebounds.
