>The Celtics and Jrue Holiday have both made it clear that they want this to be a long-term partnership. But there will be a bit of a wait. Holiday, who will make $36.9 million this season and has a $39.4 million player option next year, is not eligible to sign an extension until six months after Sunday’s trade that brought him to Boston. So mark April 2 on your calendars.
>Pierce stopped by a few practices this week, and he had some important advice for rookie forward Jordan Walsh. “On one of my plays, I didn’t shoot a wide-open three, and he’s like ‘Why didn’t you shoot that?’ ” Walsh said. “I told him some excuse, and he was like, ‘Shoot it.’ And I was like, ‘OK.’ ”
