Recently, Celtics legend Pierce was interviewed and talked about the Celtics' new season.

Pearce's attitude seems cautious about the 2025-26 season of his old club: "It's difficult to evaluate now, after all, Tatum is injured and his lineup changes dramatically. Losing three starters (Tatum, Holiday, Porzingis) means that his strength will inevitably decline. Although every team in the training camp will shout the slogan of championship competition, for us it is more like an evaluation year, and it needs to be examined which players can become a long-term puzzle. When the team fails to win the championship, it will be like this every year. Except for Brown and Tatum's core positions, everyone else needs to be inspected. "
