Boston Celtics Hub: Pierce, Ainge miss out on powwow:
" The captain had requested a sit-down, and Danny Ainge and Doc Rivers were eager to accommodate. But Pierce put off a planned talk last Friday because he was participating in a charity event. Then Ainge didn't hear back after leaving a message for Pierce. "
The Celtics have developed and printed 2 sets of promotional campaigns; One with Pierce and one built around the kids. Paul is available for the right price, and now they didn't meet up. Ainge knows that the team will take a huge step back without Pierce, and the ownership needs to sell tickets. A blockbuster involving another star player could happen, but since Ainge already turned down a trade for Ray Allen, the asking price is likely too high for other team's tastes. As of now, it still appears likely that the captain will be in a C's uniform in 2005.
