 The Truth: Paul Pierce
If Paul Pierce’s recent offensive outburst hasn’t convinced Celtics director of basketball operations chief, Danny Ainge, that he needs to alter his plan to help the C’s become a more competitive team over the next three seasons, then I am unequivocally calling for Ainge’s ouster.
Pierce’s recent offensive outburst — not to mention his overall play all season — should be enough to convince Ainge to part ways with one or two of his younger players and put some kind of package together to possibly bring in some veteran players in who can help Pierce and Boston win now.
Despite the fact that Pierce’s recent offensive outburst has garnered him plenty of national attention, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that Pierce has been carrying the Celtics all season long.
