MagikKnickParticipantThe Celtics have reached an agreement with captain Paul Pierce to keep him in Boston, according to sources.
The new contract is said to be four years in length, with only three of the seasons fully guaranteed.
Pierce opted out of the final year of his contract earlier this week. He was set to make $21.5 million in 2010-11.
The financial figures of the deal are not yet available, but he is expected to make significantly less than the $21.5 million he was going to make.

Bobby_ZParticipantHe’s making less this year but will be paid more overall. And with the possible lock-out situation, it’s a smart move from him.

Looks like it is a 4 year $61 million extention. Its good to see a player close out his career with a team and I’m glad he didn’t try to flee for more money because teams that miss out on the big free agents would definetly overspend. I don’t think he’ll regret leaving that 5.75 million on the table since he now has long term security.
