AP: Ray Allen is staying in Miami overnight, as talks with Heat continue

He's staying in miami overnight, its over. forget it. lets look forward to playing against him. we know all of rays weaknesses, so when we play the heat we can destroy him. he cant handle the ball so rondo will get some steals.

Doesn't mean anything until it's official.

Don't do it, Ray.

Wow...I'm really shocked. Never expected it to play out this way and never expected Ray to be such a willing participant in this foolishness. Where ever he went I figured he would just pick a team and keep it moving.

You can be a fan of someone for years and never really know who they are or how they would act in certain situations. It is what it is.

What are they still meeting about...can't offer more money....he won't start...pretty much all that needs to be said.

[BleedGreen1989]

Business as usual

They are probably offering up to take him to dinner and are kissing his ass over drinks right now

At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a "The Decision, Part II: Ray's Turn" ESPN special.

On to the next one. Go get green and Pietrus done....kick the tires on young.....still think we need one more scorer off the bench

[cman88]

at least you cant say the Celtics havent tried...offered him more $$, threw in a no-trade clause

if Ray allen goes to the heat,  he just never wanted to come back.

I hope Ray is ready to be a hated man in boston...because he is about to get the johnny damon treatment...i guess i never saw ray allen as a ring-chasing mercenary

Where are you getting the information that they threw a no-trade clause. I haven't heard anything of the sort.

Yep. Except it would be on ESPN3.

Herald article suggested the C's would do that or a trade kicker to assuage Allen.

All I've heard is a random, "word is Celts are ready to comply with either a no-trade clause or a trade kicker". Doesn't say anything about some sort of formal offer made or anything of that sort.

While people are already assuming it has been offered. I haven't seen anything to suggest it.
