cant blame the guy for trying, but PP rafter was about more than 2008. Ray either does not understand that point, or is trying to avoid it. PP number retirement is more about commitment to the organization shown by PP. It is that commitment that was lacking in Ray's decision to leave in free agency to the team's main rival at the time.
I am sure that the bad blood would probably not exist if Ray had gone to another team, or if he had not been so successful with the Heat.
