One of the beneficiaries of this is the other former Celtic, Jason Terry:

Coincidentally that same Brooklyn starting five also graces the cover of this week's just released issue of Sports Illustrated (above). Boston fans may want to take note of the small print in the upper left corner as well: "Red Sox in 7." Maybe after Paul Pierce goes out for a nice dinner he'll head over to Fenway for Game 1 of the World Series:
Wanna wish my boi Big Poppi good luck n the World Series bring it home big fella Go Sox
