Ray Allen Beef Becomes Clearer

[Ed Monix]

Paul Pierce on the long tension between Ray Allen and the Celtics:

“Before the series was over in Miami (2012), we heard Ray Allen was already looking for houses in Miami…while we were trying to beat them to go to the championship…he didn’t tell us, warn us, or give us a phone call.”

Ray Allen is a scumbag.

Ray Allen was considered in a deal that would have sent Allen to the Memphis Grizzlies for a package that included O.J. Mayo and a draft pick. I heard that Pierce and Garnett stepped in and squashed that trade. Then Ray left them high and dry with no compensation.

As time has gone on I have kind of thought it was weird how much the guys care and that there was still this beef. Even if it was a rival that we had had a tough series with it happened (but I also wasn’t gonna tell his teammates how to feel). This is actually a little interesting if true because it sounds pretty insane if it actually happened. Even Durant didn’t do this…

I wouldn't want to work for a boss who tried to get rid of me, either. 

Ray is somewhat OCD, so it doesn't surprise me that he had already started looking at potential houses.

If I remember correctly Ray was quite upset that season about being demoted to the bench for Avery Bradley. This mixed with his anti-social personality, it wouldn’t surprise me if it was true.

So you would screw over your coworkers?

I disagree.

Leaving for a new job opportunity isn't screwing over your coworkers. What an odd take.

Also, isn't Paul the guy who repeatedly talked about "pulling a Kobe" (demanding a trade)?  It seems weird to call a guy who left in free agency disloyal when you openly discussed forcing your way off your team while under contract.

Nah, Ray Allen is far from a scumbag. Still appreciate what he gave us. Unfortunate how it ended

We got no assets and he went to our main competition and was shopping for a home in Miami while we were playing the Heat. He also took less money to leave.

you mean after he was told he was traded and after the team refused to extend him.  Also after he was benched.

And why do we just believe the tale Pierce is spinning now.  He isn't exactly known for his truthfulness despite being the truth.

I believe PP and Garnett over ray ray...

My question has always been how many proposed Ray Allen trades were rumored his last couple of seasons in Boston and were those the main reason for the unhappiness that led him to look elsewhere . I know Avery Bradley got increased minutes, but was he permanently established as the regular starter at any point ?
