Ainge: Big 3 may play beyond current contracts

The Big Three of the Boston Celtics very well could stick around beyond their current contracts with a changing cast of supporting players. Ray Allen will be 34 after the one year left on his contract, Paul Pierce will be 33 after his two remaining years and Kevin Garnett will be 36 after the three years left on his deal. General manager Danny Ainge was enthusiastic Wednesday about the idea that they might stay longer than that if they are healthy. "Absolutely, no question," he said.
