在篮网官方介绍新员的新闻发布会结束之后， Paul Pierce又接受了布鲁克林当地媒
体WFAN的采访，期间 Pierce回忆起了刚刚得知被交易时与 Kevin Garnett的电话通话。
Pierce on phone call to KG: "It was one long, long phone call.
Probably like an hour and a half, two hours. I just remember I was standing
outside and it was 100 degrees outside, and I just remember after the phone
call I was dripping sweat."
“那是一通很长，很长的电话，差不多有一个半小时到两个小时吧。
我只记得我那时是站在外面的，当时的气温有100℉（相当于37.78℃），
而当我们谈完之后，我的衣服已经湿透了。” Pierce回忆道。
Pierce on KG's initial thoughts on going to Brooklyn: "He was kinda like,
'What?' I was like, 'Do you understand what's going on in Boston?
The Clippers thing appears to be dead. So what do you think, big fella?
I know you don't want to retire. I KNOW you don't want to retire.
You have too much in the tank, you love the game too much. Sometimes you
just have to tell Kevin sit back and think about it. He reacts to everything.
Like his initial reaction to everything is, 'No.' [If you said,] 'Kevin I got
a $100 million,' [he'd say,] 'No.' Then he has to sit back and think about it
and then once he warms up to it, he makes his decision, and that's about
anything. I knew his initial reaction was going to be against it, but I knew
this was going to be a long conversation."
KG得知（被交易到）去布鲁克林时的反应，Pierce说：“他就像是，‘什么？’
我说，‘你知道波士顿将要做什么吗？加盟快艇好像是不可能了，所以你怎么想啊？
我知道你不想退休，我真的知道你不想退休。你还有很多能量呢，
你是如此的热爱比赛。’”
有时候你必须要告诉 Kevin回去好好想想，他对一切都会有答案。
就像他对每件事情的第一个反应都是，‘No！’如果你说，
‘Kevin，我得到了1亿美元’，他仍会说，‘No！’然后他就会坐下来仔细的考虑，
而之后一旦他再起来时，他就会有所决定了。我懂得他的第一反应都会是有抗拒的，
我也知道这将会是一个很长的谈话。”
Pierce on return to Boston: "I have already pictured it in my head probably
about 100,000 times. And every time I picture it, I shed tears."
谈到日后是否会再重返波士顿，Pierce：“我已经在自己的脑海里想像了不下十万次
这样的场景了，而每一次我这样想时，我的眼泪都会止不住的流。”
Pierce said he wants to be a GM someday. And if he was offered same deal
Danny Ainge got from Brooklyn, he said he would have taken it.
Pierce同时表示自己将来也想成为一支球队的ＧＭ，而且如果当他也面临像
Danny Ainge所处的形势时，他说他自己也会做这样一笔交易的。
