director of basketball operations Danny Ainge said Thursday during his weekly
appearance on Boston sports radio WEEI that the team won't seek to add a
point guard "right now" in the wake of losing Rajon Rondo for the remainder
of the season with a torn right ACL.

The Celtics need Brandon Bass to recapture his 2011-12 form now more than
ever if they want to overcome the loss of Rajon Rondo, Chris Forsberg writes.
Story
"Well, not right now. There's a lot of reasons why we're not just jumping out
and doing something right now," Ainge told WEEI. "I mean, there really is
nobody that you're going to find to replace Rondo, obviously, through trade
or through free agent acquisition at this time of year with our (financial)
inflexibility. But I think that we like the guys (we have). I mean, (Leandro)
Barbosa's been dying for a chance to play and Jason Terry and Avery (Bradley)
playing some more point position. I think all of those guys are looking for
an opportunity, so I think it's a chance for us to see those guys play
without Rondo playing and just see what they're capable of doing."
Celtics coach Doc Rivers has campaigned to keep the roster intact and said
during his weekly appearance on WEEI on Thursday morning that he would lobby
Ainge to do just that, though that conversation might not be necessary.

"Yeah, I would, but I don't think we have to have that discussion," Rivers
said. "I think Danny likes the team, as well. And, obviously we have to
figure out against teams who will pressure us -- which, we'll get that --
what we're going to do. And if we can add another guard, we'll do it, but
we're not out there searching
Ainge said Thursday that he's had no trade discussions involving Pierce and
that, while he, too, would like to see Pierce retire in Boston, if a
serviceable deal presented itself, he would discuss it with the Celtics'
captain.
"Nothing has been talked about with Paul or discussed. Nothing is close to
being done," Ainge said. "I, too, would like to see Paul Pierce retire as a
Celtic. That would be great. We're all attached to Paul. Paul has been great
for the city, the franchise, to each of us individually. He's been a true
pro. Having said that, if something came up, I would talk to Paul. But my job
is to do what's best for the Boston fans, for the Boston Celtic team, and
what's in the best interest of our team, regardless of my personal ties and
personal relationships with players."
