Doc Rivers would allow Paul Pierce to retire with Boston Celtics

If Paul Pierce is ready to call it a career, the last jersey he wears should be green.

Paul Pierce should retire as a member of the Boston Celtics.

That’s a sentiment shared by many fans here in New England, but his current coach seems to agree. Speaking on an episode of The Vertical Podcast with Adrian Wojnarowski, Doc Rivers revealed that if Pierce does indeed decide to call it a career, he would allow the Celtics legend to sign a one-day contract with the franchise that drafted him so that he could retire in green.
