Paul Pierce: Celtics' guilt over trading Isaiah Thomas is why they tried to honor both on same night
play


LOS ANGELES -- Paul Pierce dreamed of playing his entire career with the Boston Celtics. When that didn't transpire, and the team dealt him, Kevin Garnett and Jason Terry to the Brooklyn Nets in 2013 for a treasure trove of draft picks, he began dreaming instead of the day the Celtics would raise his No. 34 to the rafters.

That day is Feb. 11 -- and he will not be sharing it with anyone else.

Plans to show a brief video tribute to Isaiah Thomas, who was traded to Cleveland last August, have been scrapped after Pierce told Celtics head of basketball operations Danny Ainge he preferred to have that day to himself.

"Danny and I talked about it for 40 minutes," Pierce explained to ESPN early Tuesday afternoon. "He told me, 'This is what we have planned,' and at the end of the conversation, he said, 'If you don't want us to do Isaiah, we won't.' So I told him, 'I really don't.' So that was it.

"That's how we left it."

Shortly after ESPN reached out to Ainge to confirm this development, Thomas tweeted that he preferred Boston not run a video tribute for him after all.


Isaiah Thomas

@isaiahthomas
I'd like to thank the Celtics for their gracious offer to play a video tribute on Feb 11th celebrating my 3yrs in Boston. But since it appears this has caused some controversy w/ Paul Pierce's night I'd ask the Celtics instead to focus all of their attention on #34's career.

Earlier in the day, before Thomas' tweet, Pierce explained why he objected to plans to honor Thomas on Feb. 11.

"(Thomas) had a shot to be honored," Pierce said. "You came to Boston. Whether you are playing or not, you should have had your tribute then. I just don't see how, if someone is having a jersey retirement, they're going to be running other tributes for other players.

"Danny tried to sell me on it, but I told him, 'He had a shot, Danny, and he punked you on it. He pretty much dictated everything.' They let it happen because they felt sorry how (the trade to Cleveland) went down. It's guilt. That's what it is."

Ainge said Tuesday night that Thomas intended all along to bow out of the video tribute once he learned of Pierce's reservations. He also said when he and Thomas' agent, Aaron Goodwin, first discussed an alternate date for a Thomas tribute, which was originally scheduled for Jan. 3, neither of them realized the next time the Cavaliers came to town would be the night that Pierce was being honored. Thomas asked not to be recognized on Jan. 3 because he was not going to be playing in the game and he wanted his family present for the tribute.

"I wanted to make it clear that it was never my intention or Isaiah's intention to take away from the special day for Paul Pierce," Ainge told ESPN. "And no one was ever comparing I.T. to Paul Pierce. We all owe Paul a lot. Everyone in the organization."

Ainge said the team planned to play the Thomas tribute during the pregame introductions.

"It was only going to be during that segment," Ainge explained. "During the rest of the game, it was going to be all Paul Pierce. But, after listening to Paul's perspective, I understood it and shared it with Isaiah and he understood it, too."

Rajon Rondo, a member of Boston's 2008 title team with Pierce, expressed dissatisfaction when told of the Celtics' plan to also honor Thomas.

"What has done?" Rondo said before Tuesday's game, according to the Worcester Telegram & Gazette. When told how Thomas led Boston to the East finals, Rondo replied, "Oh, that's what we celebrate around here?"

Rondo, now of the Pelicans, later added: "This is the Boston Celtics. This isn't the Phoenix Suns. No disrespect to any other organization but don't hang conference titles."

New Orleans' Tony Allen, who played alongside Pierce on Boston's 2008 championship team, said prior to Tuesday's game that Pierce deserved his own night.

"I'm with Pierce, man," said Allen. "(Thomas) didn't put in more work than Paul. Anybody disagree? OK. Paul Pierce put in big work, man. Why would they honor (Thomas) on that same day, man?

"Let my man get his jersey retired, man. Let him embrace that, man. He put a lot of blood, sweat and tears in this organization, man, and capitalized and had some good results. (Pierce) struggled with the team. I remember losing 19 straight with that man. Turned around and won a championship (the next season). Talk about Paul Pierce, man, don't mention (Thomas') name, the guys' name that don't stand in the same frame."

Pierce conceded that he gave his position some additional thought after his objections to a joint tribute made headlines. He says he consulted his agent, his wife, his mother and Garnett.

"Everyone understood where I was coming from," Pierce said. "KG was like, 'Isaiah who? Hell no, you're damn right you're not sharing your night with him.'"

That is no longer a concern.

"We owe Paul a lot," Ainge said. "I feel indebted to him. The whole organization feels that way. We will have a great night for him. Argument over."

Poll result (23 votes) petty as hell (16 votes) Vote Isaiah who? (7 votes) Vote

1000%. PP Should not have to share his night, no matter how minimally, with ANYONE. Dude is a fucking legend. It's not petty, IMO. Shoulda done that IT shit on Jan 3rd...don't matter that he wasn't playing.

...I'm from the era when A.I. was the answer, now they think ai is the answer - Marlon Craft

in that recent cari champion interview she's like rate Boston as a franchise, he's like 'five stars'

rate the brooklyn as a franchise '..... point five stars'

it was mad tacked on and unnecessary and he deserves his own night

All them years he put into that organization? Shit... if he feels some type of way about seeing I.T. getting a tribute, then dead that shit.

He spoke up. He knew how it would be viewed.

3 truths about Paul Pierce’s Celtics tribute brouhaha

The Boston Celtics will not interrupt The Truth’s big night with a tribute video for Isaiah Thomas.

By Tom Ziller@teamziller Jan 17, 2018, 1:27pm EST

Paul Pierce won.

Everyone laughed and ripped off jokes about Pierce’s Jan. 4 declaration that the Celtics shouldn’t briefly interrupt the night of his jersey retirement in Boston to honor Isaiah Thomas. But Pierce stuck to his guns. On Tuesday, we found out the Celtics will not show an Isaiah tribute video, instead focusing all attention on The Truth.

The Celtics had originally intended to show the Isaiah tribute video — a standard NBA laurel for All-Stars traded away — when the Cavaliers visited Boston on Jan. 3. That was derailed when Thomas — then just having made his season debut — asked them to delay the honor since he wouldn’t be playing that night and his family wouldn’t be in attendance.

One problem: The Cavaliers’ only other visit to Boston this regular season is Feb. 11, already lined up as the day the Celtics will retire Pierce’s jersey. (It’s also a big Sunday matinee on ABC.)

On ESPN’s The Jump, where he is a regular panelist, Pierce expressed displeasure with the idea that there might be a brief video of Isaiah highlights during one of the timeouts. The funniest claim in there was that Pierce, having witnessed Kobe Bryant’s jersey retirement recently, liked how the night was 100 percent Kobe, in every timeout. (Kobe, by the way, won five titles, an MVP, and two Finals MVPs with the Lakers. Pierce respectively earned one, zero, and one with Boston.)

Pierce told ESPN on Tuesday that he spoke with Celtics president Danny Ainge about the tribute foofaraw for 40 minutes (!), and reiterated that he didn’t want Isaiah’s video to play. The quote, straight from Pierce’s lips, is hilarious.

“Danny and I talked about it for 40 minutes,” Pierce explained to ESPN early Tuesday afternoon. “He told me, ‘This is what we have planned,’ and at the end of the conversation, he said, ‘If you don’t want us to do Isaiah, we won’t.’ So I told him, ‘I really don’t.’ So that was it.

“That’s how we left it.”

Almost simultaneously, Isaiah tweeted that he didn’t want a tribute video on Feb. 11 anyways, so Pierce could have his afternoon.


Isaiah Thomas

@isaiahthomas
I'd like to thank the Celtics for their gracious offer to play a video tribute on Feb 11th celebrating my 3yrs in Boston. But since it appears this has caused some controversy w/ Paul Pierce's night I'd ask the Celtics instead to focus all of their attention on #34's career.

The tick-tock is interesting: ESPN reports it reached out to Ainge to confirm the news, and within minutes Isaiah had tweeted his gracious offer to let Pierce have undivided attention.

Here are three takeaways from this whole thing.

1. Pierce was ridiculously selfish.
Pierce’s attitude is straight out of central casting for the villain role in a soft-feature teen movie about prom drama. Come on, Truth. This one-minute tribute to a dude who played through what Isaiah Thomas played through last spring is stealing too much spotlight from your Big Day?

2. No one gets to orchestrate their own tributes.
This applies not just to Pierce — who should have no role but showing up and inviting guests — but to Isaiah, who asked the Celtics to delay their tribute to him, sparking the whole fuss.

Isaiah’s rationale was sound: He wanted his family there, and they weren’t going to be there because he wasn’t playing. But trying to micromanage little kindnesses given to you is bad form. Everyone needs to be way less involved in planning their own NBA tributes.

The related reality here is that you really can’t control these things. The tribute is choreographed; the sporting event is unscripted. (Remember the Chris Mullin fiasco in Oakland?) At this point, nothing would be sweeter than for Isaiah to hang a 50-spot on Boston and steal the spotlight, or for eternal Pierce foil LeBron James to stick a game-winner.

3. Paul Pierce doesn’t actually deserve a shut-down-the-town Kobe-style tribute.
Here’s a spicy take for you: Paul Pierce is Carmelo Anthony with better PR and a little luck.

Like Melo, Pierce was a perennial All-Star whose teams were never quite good enough. Unlike Melo, Pierce received the gift of Kevin Garnett in lieu of forcing a trade when the run with the team that drafted him puttered out. That Garnett trade directly led to Pierce’s title and Finals MVP, and preempted a Pierce trade, which resulted in The Truth ending up high in the Celtics’ record books in terms of games, points, and other longevity-based stats.

Had Ainge not stolen Garnett from old bud and Timberwolves GM Kevin McHale in the summer of 2007, Pierce almost assuredly would have been traded before the end of the 2007-08 season. If that had happened, Pierce’s jersey wouldn’t be going up into the rafters.

Pierce was pretty good for a hella long time for one team, and that’s getting him a tribute night and jersey retirement. Melo has been pretty good for a hella long time for multiple teams, and odds are no franchise will retire his jersey. Part of that is Melo’s fault for pushing his way out of Denver.

Rajon Rondo, who accomplished far less in Boston than did Isaiah once his Hall of Fame teammates were traded, lambasted the idea of honoring Thomas at all. One wonders if Boston legends of yore with fists full of rings are equally dismissive of achievements of the ballyhooed revival team that hoisted just one trophy. Everything is relative.


Pierce had an incredible run, his personal story is incredible, and he’ll forever live in Celtics lore. His No. 34 will hang with Jo Jo White’s No. 10, Dennis Johnson’s No. 3, Reggie Lewis’ No. 35, among more than a dozen others. The team wanted one minute to honor another All-Star-level guy who bled Celtic green before being shipped out for a brighter, younger thing. You’d think The Truth would be cool with that. Oh well.

1) there's some half-truth in that he was thinking of himself, but it's a night to honor him, so he's within the scope of normal behavior to want it to be focused on him.

2) This is just flat out false. If I'm being honored by an organization, I absolutely have a right to have opinions on how they do it (or don't do it) and to have those opinions be heard.

3) c'mon. Paul Pierce was beloved by Boston fans BEFORE he won a title. He gave his heart and soul to a bunch of mediocre teams for a decade-plus. Melo was never beloved by anyone, except in Syracuse. If the Celtics had never won a title, they STILL would be retiring his jersey.

*Jews you*

"this is okp tho, reading is completely optional" (c) desus

Proceed with caution. I am overtly racist.

<-- In Pigpen we trust

1. It's Pierce's night. Of course it shouldn't be the same night.

2. He played two seasons for a team with 17 championships and 21 conference titles. He led them to a first round loss and an ECF loss. You don't *need* to do anything for IT other than a nice ovation for him next time he plays at the Garden. Announce his name and people will give nice applause. If fans are screaming for a video package when IT returns to town, fine, something pre-game that *isn't* a night of tribute for a title-winning Celtics legend would more than suffice.

3. The Celtics should stop trying to have it both ways. They traded the man after he played following the death of his sister. They made a business decision, the right decision. They should own that decision. They're feeling guilty because IT was mad at them publicly and some fans felt they did him dirty. Some nice video package about IT's time with the Celtics won't change a goddamn thing.

It's like a boyfriend who dumped his girlfriend for a prettier girl posting on Facebook about how "special" the ex will "always be to me, she'll have a place in my heart forever," etc. Fuck all that. You dumped her, she's hurt over it. No amount of public contrition is going to make the healing process go any faster for those hurt by the decision.

necessarily wrong, but its still tremendously childish for Pierce himself to speak on it a make a big issue about it.

Pierce is crybaby and still trying to compare himself to Kobe. First he wanted a "farewell tour" like Kobe. Now's talking about he wants his jersey retirement to be like Kobe's. You ain't Kobe dude, get over yourself lol....

>First he wanted a "farewell tour" like Kobe.

He announced his retirement at the beginning of the season and people read into it because Kobe and Jeter made the farewell tour a thing. He never actually asked for a farewell tour in any shape or form.

Now's talking
>about he wants his jersey retirement to be like Kobe's. You
>ain't Kobe dude, get over yourself lol....
>

Any jersey retirement night should be 100% about that player and he's a local legend in a way that IT is not. Maybe he's being a little petty, but so what? He deserves his own night.

“I had a chance to watch Kobe’s, and throughout the game and timeouts, they were a lot of tribute videos for him,” Pierce said. “I enjoyed to watch that throughout the game. Hopefully, now, the Boston Celtics will do that for me. I’m not sure I want to see an Isaiah video that night.”

1. IT isn't infringing on Pierce's night. All is well.
2. IT is hurt for his return to the Garden.
3. The Celtics want to show a one-minute tribute video thanking IT for his two seasons in Boston.
4. Because IT isn't playing, his family won't be there, and he wants his family to be there, so *he* requests Boston move the video package to the next available night-- Pierce's night.

Instead of bringing his family out for a game in which he wasn't playing so they could see his one-minute video and watch him wave while people cheered, he thought the better solution was to ASK THE ORGANIZATION TO MOVE IT INTO THE MIDDLE OF A CELTIC LEGEND'S TRIBUTE NIGHT.

How in the fuck is IT, the two-year All-Star with not even an ECF to his name, the one who isn't in the wrong, while Paul Pierce, the fourteen-year Celtic with ten ASGs, four All-NBA honors, second highest leading scorer in franchise history, second highest PPG in franchise history, title winner, NBA Finals MVP, is the one to blame here?

Nah. All of that "he's trying to be Kobe" spin by the angry people is nonsense, and they should all know it. Pierce didn't get a huge farewell tour, no one's asking for teams across the country to acknowledge him as a GOAT of the game. There aren't big "thanks Paul" commercial campaigns. I can't even find a quote in which Pierce compares himself to Kobe in this situation-- am I missing some offensive Pierce quote, or do people think home court nights dedicated to the career of a legend on the night of the jersey retirement exclusively belonged to Kobe?

He is asking for one night, dedicated to his career, thrown by the franchise for which he is indisputably a legend. He absolutely deserves it.

They should just have one, that's has a revolving cast of Black Guys to give his hot takes vs a revolving cast of White Guys. You pick who hosts that week out of a lotery and that's it. And you get a double bonus if the black guy was a former-pro or the white guy has a Jon B. beard.

as per Frank's reply, Ainge is doing too much here

and it's starting to feel like they're trying to right a wrong

I'm assuming they intentionally scheduled this vs CLE

to take advantage of the nationally televised exposure

BOS is on national TV once a week

and you would think this would go further vs their historic rivals, the LAL, not CLE

compounded by acquiescing to IT's demand that his video tribute be run when he's playing, family in attendance, etc...

IMO, it's disrespectful to PP

his night.

Besides, you can't blame a team for throwing a big tribute night during one of the biggest home games of the season. Not when IT's the one who wanted to move his video into a night that was scheduled nearly half a year prior.

I have no idea why they picked the Cavs. Maybe because Pierce had a LeBron fixation?

Fuck a sig, my presence is enough.

In other words, PP shouldn't have been put in the position to be put on blast for speaking up about this. The fucking Celtics should've nixed IT's bullshit right away. The Cavs were in Boston on January whateverthefuck. Celtics should've told IT "your video's being played tonite." HE is the diva in this situation, requesting that the vid be shown at a later date, so his family could be there. He had what 10 months to plan for his family to be there for the video ? Why'd he have to try and intrude on an already-scheduled Pierce jersey retirement nite ?

PP shouldn't have to share his nite with anyone. He earned that jersey retirement, and is a Celtics legend. IT was here 3 years and despite the high level of respect I have for the way he plays and approached his time here, he didn't win shit and doesn't deserve any say in his post-Celtics-career tributes. He should feel fortunate they're even giving him one in the first place.

The Celtics are to blame. IT is next on the list. PP shouldn't have been put in the position to be publicly embarrassed over something he earned.

"Fuck aliens." © WarriorPoet415

For anyone saying, "What'd IT do for them to deserve a video tribute" - this really is pretty standard for the next time a former star comes to town.

I think IT was petty to say that he wanted it when his family was in town...I know he wasn't playing, but just wave dude.

I think PP is giving this too much credence. It's like 30-60 seconds.

I also think PP deserves all the recognition that night, so I kind of get his POV here but I think it's dumb the retirement has to be against the Cavs for some dumb reason.

And the other Celtics on the '08 team need to stop woofing. Right, IT didn't do anything for the franchise, but you cornballs still won't talk to Ray Allen. GATWTFOH.

do the little video, let the fans clap and be done with it. IT shouldn't get to reschedule shit for his convenience like HE's the NBA Champion and franchise legend. The fact that Danny even acquiesced is dumb as hell. I feel bad, too, like I'm dissing IT and I'm NOT. I really like dude. I've been defending the shit out of him in those Cavs posts. This is just a no-brainer to me. Paul Pierce...Isaiah Thomas. Guess who's taking the back seat.
