The Celtics have discussed the possibility of signing free-agent guard Allen Iverson, but they don't currently plan to pursue him.

"We have had internal discussions about (Iverson)," team president Danny Ainge said, "but a decision like this has to be unanimous, and it wasn't."

In order to sign Iverson, Boston would have to either trade or cut a player. At this point, it hasn't gotten that far.

There are question marks surrounding his cost and if he would be willing to come of the bench for the Celtics.

"Those are all things to be considered, but we never got to the point where we discussed them with Allen or his agent," Ainge added.

The executive added that if the team suffers an injury or a need comes up, Boston could revisit the idea of signing Iverson.
