Is this true? He is on the plane backed to Beantown? Or a joke?

Since it is a picture my gut feeling is that it is not a joke.  Unless the pic is from months ago or something of that nature.  Seems pretty legit since its a twitpic ya know?

Remember this from yesterday?



I recalled it was the same t-shirt from yesterday. Notice the glasses also. Could this be him departing from Beantown to MIA? In my opinion it's more likely.

No answer out of Ray Allen

Free agent Ray Allen left his meeting with the Miami Heat on Thursday night without giving them an answer on their contract offer and is torn on whether to leave the Boston Celtics, sources told ESPN.com on Friday.

Allen had an afternoon meeting with Heat president Pat Riley and coach Erik Spoelstra and then went to dinner with them and other members of the team's front office. The Heat offered Allen their mid-level exception, which starts at $3.09 million per season-- or half of the Celtics' offer of $6 million per year over two years.

The most the Heat could offer is three years and $9.5 million.

The sources did not go into specifics, saying Allen is torn because remaining a Celtic is still very much an option.

Heat stars LeBron James and Dwyane Wade have recruited Allen. Riley and Spoelstra were believed to have presented a plan where Allen would have a major role in the offense playing alongside them and Chris Bosh. The Heat are hoping that the offer entices Allen to leave money on the table and end his five-year partnership with Celtics stars Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett.

The Celtics, sources said, have their own plan for incorporating Allen into a different role that includes playing him alongside Jason Terry, who committed to sign with the Celtics earlier this week. The Boston Herald reported that Boston also has offered to include a no-trade clause in Allen's contract, something the Heat cannot offer.

Meanwhile, according to reports, the Heat will meet with free agents Rashard Lewis and Marcus Camby over the weekend.

That makes it sound like this is all about whether Ray still needs to believe he's a starter in the league.

Yeah! This is just great news, I got the feeling this gives us another shot. Maybe Ray doesn't want to leave Boston after all

I'm in Iowa but I've changed my mind and really want Ray to remain a Celtic.  Stay green, Ray!
