I think Ray taking less money from the Heat to leave Boston will always follow him and created a huge divide.

But his jump shot is poetry in motion

If his family wanted to live in Miami instead of having the risk that they could end up in places like Memphis or Cleveland at any moment from a trade though, then I understand. He had already made a lot of money and had won a ring, working in a city that his family is happy with and having more
assurance of not being traded would be reasonable

I still don't blame Ray Ray. The Celtics were aging and Miami was more talented. Ray isn't a Celtics fan like us- he was an NBA player. If Pierce can grow up in LA and play in Boston, Ray can play anywhere he wants. Even if it upset Celtics fans. I still think fans were soft for not understanding that he would want to play in a better situation.
The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.

Well, Ray had a no-trade clause on the table, so it's not that.
