"I think the free agent pool is fairly deep, but based on our needs it may not be so deep for us. We're certainly not going to go out and spend a mid-level exception on a point guard (or) on a wing player probably—although that's not impossible.

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.
