If they're going to make a run at AI they better sign Pierce to an extension, or at least make sure he's here for a couple more years. This kind of team cannot and will not be successful if it is just AI and a bunch of kids. Don't get me wrong, having a core of Pierce and Iverson would be EXCELLENT. They need to keep that core, if it even happens, together for a few years, not just 1 year. They could make a serious playoff push if they trade, say, Gerald Green and Al Jefferson and someone else for AI and have a quality supporting cast for the two big guns. Also, the Celtics recently signed guard Allan Ray, flipside of Ray Allen, as an undrafted FA.
