Danny Ainge couldn't be happier...

So Paul Pierce just signed a three-year extension yesterday that has him locked in with my beloved Celts until at least the 2010-11 season. I'm absolutely thrilled, being that Pierce is about about 2 game-winning shots away from earning a spot on my Wall of Man (see below). The rumor mill has the big green machine dealing away some of our young talent for some added star power like AI, KG, or any other player who's recognizeable by two initials (word on the street is Gerald Green for TI, straight up... would anyone even notice?).

While the thought of Iverson and his world record for "most contusions ever" playing alongside Paulie kinda makes me wanna cry and then build a house out of bricks and tears, the moves we've made this off-season coupled with the abundance of promising young guys on the squad leaves me feeling like the team's headed in the right direction. One of the proudest franchises in all of sports is makin' some moves. So here's a pre-emptive kudos to Danny Ainge; although looking at his face in this picture, am I the only one wondering where Pierce's left thumb is?
