Ray Allen RESIGNS (Confirmed!)

[Fafnir]

What did Ray and Rondo combine to make in 2010? What will they combine to make in 2011? I believe it's a wash (or very close anyway).

It is, Ray Allen made 18.7 million. Rondo on his rookie deal made 2.09 million.

In 2010-2011 they'll make 10 million and 9.09 million respectively.

Yes, excellent news!!

I’m so relieved right now. Glad to “welcome back” Ray! And to a really good contract, I’m surprised he accepted two years only with the 2nd a player option but it's all good for him and for the C's!

Yeah!

Sugar Ray!

Stunning. Great contract. And surprised it got done so quickly. Hard to believe Ray didn't leave dollars AND years on the table somewhere else.

Pretty stark difference to some of the other things happening around the league this week.

Yep. Just shows much much Ray must love playing with this team. Loyalty

GREAT NEWS. I just finished giveing the cat a bath (yes cat) and said to the wife I think I will check out the blog and WOW GREAT JUST GREAT!!! Wasn't expecting this. We are back in business with a few more moves. ANOTHER CRACK WITH THIS GROUP IS POSSIBLE! ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!


I knew if I did'nt post in the open letter to ray he would resign. You all should be glad I did'nt post in there.

Also this means that my Ray Allen Jersey isn't gonna have to go onto my wall with the other jerseys of Celtics Past Players.

Another sign of class by Ray Allen - no doubt he could have gotten a MUCH better contract on the open market (be it, with a bad team)

[msimpson77]

Glad to have Ray back! He might have gotten more elsewhere...but you gotta believe he wanted at least one more shot at a ring here. Now we just need to work on the bench.

Great to have him back.  If it's a lockout next year then this is the last year for this team.  Enjoy it, I know I will!

Now go sign an O'Neal!

Aldridge also repeated the fact that he heard that Rasheed still may not retire?   Glad that's not a confirmation!!! LoL

Let's get rid of this "awaiting confirmation" stuff in the subject

LOL I know. It's making me a little nervous.

Done!
