Wednesday marked Paul Pierce’s second consecutive day at the Auerbach Center, as he looked in on training camp. Pierce’s time with the Cs came to a close in 2013, when he, Kevin Garnett, and Jason Terry were traded to the Brooklyn Nets, However, according to him, once you’re a Celtic, it lasts forever. It’s a tradition that he hopes to help the current squad adopt and grow to love, much like other Celtic legends did for him.
“Yeah, I think that’s what it should be all about,” Pierce said. “You know it’s always been that way since I’ve been a part of the organization, and I love that Joe [Mazzulla] has reached out to me and some of the other guys to be around more.
