Article about Pierce's situation and whether or not he should be given a contract extension.
Just to spitball, if we could sign Pierce to a two year extension after this one (this 'OMGZ HE MUST FINISH HIS CAREER AS A CELTIC' stuff is pure ********), and avoid doing anything stupid financially, we could potentially set ourselves up for another good summer in 2012 while still being respectable the next couple of seasons, since KG's ginormous deal expires then. A few of the free agents available are Carmelo Anthony, Andris Biedrins (option), and a few restricted guys like Jason Thompson and Anthony Randolph. Plus there's always the trade route.
