Default Paul Pierce announces he will be released

On his Facebook page...

"To all the Celtics fans out there unfortunately i have played my final game in green i will be released this offseason... I WILL BE BACK.... someday!!!!"

Can't see Garnett sticking around.

Kudos to the best pure scorer in Celtics history.

It was bound to happen someday, the end of an era for the Celtics. These next few years with Green/Williams/Crawford/Sullinger should be interesting.

Pierce was always overrated, padded his stats while the C's sucked....

Not even top 10 in Celtics history IMO

Farewell lol

So him playing basketball is padding his stats?

What should he do exactly? Not play?

Paul Pierce always frustrated me. His game is so ugly but he was so good lol

He will be a Laker or Clipper.

Wow, leading Celtics scorer of all time isn't he? And just getting released? That kinda sucks. Never liked him as a player but surely loyalty is worth more than just a release. Guessing he wants to keep playing and the C's don't want him anymore. Hopefully he retires as a Celtic.

He will retire as a C they just didnt want to pay him $15 million next year so they decided to buyout his contract for $5 million i think

Always kind of sad to see this happen.

Hopefully it's not one of those things where he bounces around 3-4 teams in the next two seasons before retiring

and the East was a joke back then, just the way it is today...
Pierce took his team to the playoffs one time being under 6-8 games....

Kevin Garnett should rank higher as an All-Time Celtic above him...

What Pierce "expects" to happen doesnt mean it will happen...

And every article since he posted this says its purely his own thoughts. The Celtics will try to trade him first.

How do you trade away the face of the franchise?
He brought you a championship! (with help of course but still)
Sad to see him go.
Thank you Paul Pierce you done good.

I can't find the link/post either. If it's true, I will be shocked.
Nowadays, loyalty to the same franchise even during the difficult times doesn't come easily.
