Ray Allen Wants a Contract Extension

[WeMadeIt17]

I really think we should keep ray ray around. He has been our most clutch player since he got here and i would be pretty upset if we traded him, I look at it said i wanted Amare really bad but now i dont want to break up our starting 5. The way i see it is getting a couple role players that can fill the needs and we can contend for a championship. I mean it would all be great if we got Amare but where would our threes go?

just reiterating my question from the home page:

what is  a "league executive"?

maybe GMs from around the league?  or perhaps Stern's henchmen

it's weird, right?

why would they know anything about Ray Allen wanting an extension with the Cs and why would they know the Cs intentions?

[Tr1boy]

Danny won't do it and this is where Ray will be traded. No matter how much pressure PP or KG put upon danny he won't sign allen to 2 year 13-15 million deal because he has to sign rondo and other free agents in the upcoming Years.

Like i predicted all along Ray allen and bbd to the bobcats for #12(tyreke evans) , Bell and Mohammed , expect it

well if it's GM's that are saying he wont sign an extension in Boston, they must be hearing that the Celtics are really considering trading him .

You're kidding..... Ray's expiring contract is worth much more than that crap.

but looking to trade him and signing an extension with him aren't mutually exclusive.

Celtics guard Ray Allen has expressed a desire for a contract extension, league executives say, but that isn’t happening in Boston.

I wonder where this  news comes from ?

TP for  PollardsSpartanBeard for posting this in another thread.

If it's true that he isn't going to get an extension in boston does that mean he will be traded this off season?

I hope he's thinking extension starting at 8 or 10 mill. If not, sorry Ray your good, but not good enough to make us handcuff our payroll.

I'd rather pay Rondo 10 million a yr for his prime years than pay Ray that amount for his late thirties years.  Of course Ray "wants" an extension though. I want 100 million dollars and a super model woman.

dont worry. having had both so many times i can assure you that both are over rated.

I really just want next week to be here already instead of everyone thinking of crazy ideas on how we are getting rid of ray allen. If it happens it happens, I am sure Danny has Paul and Kevin in his ear saying make up better. He is not going to pull a trade off where we just go for youth, unless that youth can step right in and handle being on a team such as the Celts, but danny has came out and said he is looking to win a championship and basically live with this team. He will make a trade if it only makes the team better RIGHT NOW. So i am sure these Ray Allen for the number 2 pick just for trash is just what we would be getting in return trash.

Unless they then ship out the # 2 and expiring contracts for someone like Amare Stoudemire.

True, however Ray has a likely chance of getting it... Good luck with yours...

There will be a lot of teams with cap room in 2010, teams that will be trying to piece together a contender.

I think Ray is going to have a lot of suitors and be much more capable of commanding a higher salary than in most other free agent years ... years when a player of his age would normally struggle for good offers (like several players this summer).

Players like Ray are going to be able to command more money next summer than they usually would.

[Jon]

Though this wouldn't make Wyc happy for one year, I think it would make good sense for the team to extend Ray one year, even if it is at max dollars.  That way the C's can hold onto him this year, see if they win the title, then reevaluate things next summer.  If he's re-upped at max dollars, all the trade scenarios coming up this summer will come up next summer as well.

If he is commanding anything more than 6 or 7 MIL you have to trade him now and get some talent for his expiring contract.

1)IF ray resigns for 7 MIL a year
2) IF PP opts out and signs an extension starting at 12 MIL
3) and IF Rondo signs an extension for 10 MIL a year then our roster would look like this going into the 2010-11 season

PG: Rondo
SG: Ray
SF: PP
PF: KG
 C: Perk

That puts us at 52 MIL so we would likely have about 5-7 MIL in cap space .
