Paul Pierce’s Role In Brooklyn Will Be Very Different
Now that the Brooklyn Nets have made the massive trade to bring in Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett everyone wants to know how the pieces will fit.
The 10 time All-Star and 2008 NBA Finals MVP looked a bit old against the New York Knicks in the playoffs this past season and some of it had to do with the increased minutes he played. The workload that Pierce was subjected to was due to the season ending injury suffered by Rajon Rondo earlier in the year.
The 35 year old took more responsibility of running the team playing much more point-forward to allow the team to get into its sets and in some type of offensive flow. Avery Bradley was not ready to run a team so the weight fell on Pierce.
The question most are asking now is whether or not—and to what extent—Pierce can be a significant part of the Nets offense this season, and whether or not he can still be a top offensive option of a championship contender.
From Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe
Pierce may not be the player he was in 2008, when he led the Celtics to the title at age 30, but in his new role with Brooklyn, he should flourish. With Garnett, Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, and Brook Lopez, double teams will be less prevalent for Pierce. He should thrive against single defenders.
“There will definitely be less pressure on me on this ball club than there was in Boston,” Pierce said. “In Boston, I was the No. 1 primary option. Here we have so many options. We have young All-Stars on this team. My job is to be more of a glorified role player, as Doc [Rivers] used to always say, with the guys we have.
“With my abilities to do so many things, there’s going to be nights where I’m not going to score a bunch of points. I can do other things to help this club win. With the combination of these guys, we’re going to take pressure off each other.”
“That move was such a big move for our team, for me,” Pierce said. “When you sign a guy like Andrei Kirilenko, it solidifies your perimeter, it gives you the versatility that you need. We have guys that can shoot the three, we’ve got guys that can post up, and to have an elite defender who can guard two, three, maybe four positions — he really gives us great versatility, and I think that’s what you need. That’s the direction you really see the NBA going, to have versatile players who can play multiple positions, and you put your best player on the floor.”
“We’re coming in with championship experience,” Pierce said. “Before we all were hungry for a championship. But [now] we have guys on this team that are very hungry for a championship — me, Kevin, and Jason are hungry for another championship.”
