On this date in 2017, the Celtics “waived” Paul Pierce after signing him to a one-day deal so he could retire with the team.

Also on this date, former Celtic guard Jason Terry signed with Boston and played only one season with the aging core of the Banner 17 crew of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Rajon Rondo.

At the end of that season, the Arizona product would be dealt along with Garnett, Pierce, and D.J. White and draft assets to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for Keith Bogans, MarShon Brooks, Kris Humphries, Kris Joseph, Gerald Wallace, and the draft picks that drove the team’s rebuild into its current roster.

Terry averaged 10.1 points, 2 boards, and 2.5 assists per game as a Celtic.
