(NEW YORK POST) - Thanksgiving week is here, and many inside ESPN are giving special thanks for jobs they hope will last past the holidays.

Pierce said he and his reps will sit down with ESPN executives after the Finals but this is something he wants. Nothing is official but take this one to Vegas: Next year’s fulltime NBA Countdown group will be Michele Beadle, Chauncey Billups, Jalen Rose, and Pierce.”Pierce has thrown out all kinds of ludicrous comments during his short stint at ESPN, fitting right into the bold prediction mentality the worldwide leader loves to present. Take Example 1A, for instance:
