I occasionally see stuff about the Big 3 Era guys, or updates about recent Cs whom we're still wishing well, and there's nowhere to put it - everywhere is an awkward fit, whether it's the General NBA thread or the Celtics 2023-24 thread. I'll start off here with a couple.
Sad: Paul Pierce's LA home burglarized, loses watches, $100k in cash.
Most of the recent ex-Celtics are out injured, which includes Smart, TimeLord, Brogdon (tendinitis, hasn't played in 6 weeks), even Lamar Stevens (missed 5 games with an adductor strain).
One guy who's not? Isaiah Thomas, who just signed a 10-day contract with the Suns, at age 35.
Similarly, Kemba Walker (turning 34 in May) signed with AS Monaco in the EuroLeague for this season. Monaco is 3rd in the EuroLeague standings, behind only Real Madrid and Barcelona, and while Kemba's only playing 11 mins a game, he's shooting 37% on 3s, seems to still be a rotation player there. Monaco is the runaway leader in the French domestic league, with Wembanyama's former squad Metropolitans 92 going from being runner-up to Monaco last season, to being bottom of the table and in the relegation zone today.
Also looking up: Aaron Nesmith has crossed into positive-DARKO territory this year. He isn't just a pain in the ass to us only!
Lastly, KG thought that he hadn't earned a jersey retirement from the Celtics, because he'd only gotten one championship for the team. Paul set him straight.
