Yeah there have been a few threads on BBW about this, but hey I could care less. I love Paul Pierce, he is my favorite player, and I could never complain about having him in a Celtic uniform. But, I'm curious to see what moves Ainge makes because it looks like we are in Win Now mode after signing Paul to a 3-year deal.
Great news for the Boston Celtics and I am glad Pierce is sticking around in Boston. You have to love his loyalty.
20 mil a year extension. pretty big. He's the next Iverson though. Crappy GM with a great star, but screws the team around him up. Both teams had 1 great year, but are now done I'd say.

I get the point though...both Pierce and Iverson are both highly paid stars on rather poor teams with limited success...To say he's the 'next Iverson' doesn't make a lot of sense since they both are veterans but they will likely have similar careers with playoff success...etc..etc..
