Ray Allen trashes the Celtics after IT trade

[playdream]

Ray is right. He was responding to Caron Butler's post. He's mad about fans trashing players for leaving, but cheering when players are sent out of town against their will.

Danny did what he thought was best, trading IT and AB.  It's not loyalty, it's business. Ray did what he thought was best, too.

Did anyone cheer when IT was traded? I saw quite the opposite.

Ray seems to have beef with fans who don't control money or personnel decisions. "Where were y'all when the team tried to trade me?" What were the fans supposed to do? Storm the castle? He can't have it both ways - he can't get into petty spats on Instagram with fans and they claim "it's a business." Either you're above it or you're not.

Yes, about half this blog seems psyched that IT was traded. we got a 25 year old MVP-level point guard that isn't 5' 9" with bad hips and nearing 30.

 FTFY

And thus, people cheered when IT was traded. No hand-wringing about "loyalty", just a cold calculated move that treated IT like a commodity.

That's a fair way to look at players. Just don't get upset when they look out for themselves. For instance, why would any player ever play through an injury here? Why would any player take less money?

I get sad when I see this. Obviously you can be happy with the return, but can't fans at least stop and appreciate what the player has done for their team and not just flip 180 degrees and bash them immediately? I wish IT all the best in the next chapter of his career and will always be a fan of his with what he has donw with us.

Did IT has the right to be upset for being traded?
so do the fans
