I think Pierce will turn 30 before the season starts.
Michael Finley is only 34, and he stopped being a "superstar" 3-4 years ago. I think Boston's window is very tight here--they've given up a lot of their youth & future draft picks, and any hope of cap room any time soon.
On a different note, Minnesota should pick up a nice trade exception from this--think they'd want some more players, i.e., Buckner & DJ, or does the fact that they just acquired 5 guys in this deal make that moot?
