DA operating like ray is gone

DO WE HAVE TO BRING UP 2010 FINALS AGAIN?? i am still in mourning over it

He's operating like he's tired of Ray screwing around.

How is Ray screwing around?  I will boo him like crazy if he goes to Miami but what is wrong with him evaluating all options before making a decision?  Danny Ainge has consistently looked into the potential option of trading Ray for the past 2 seasons.

As far as I'm concerned Ray has the right to take as much time as  he wants.  He's been able to get Danny Ainge to commit to 2 year deal and now it sounds like Ainge might give him a no trade clause.

Regardless of his final decision, I can't bash Ray for looking at every option.

Does 2010 NBA finals ring a bell? A midget point guard Derek Fisher completely shutt down Ray Allen. Or title #17 where he was no show for most of the playoffs run.

In all fairness to Ray, Fisher shut him down because Artest kneed Ray in the thigh with a cheap shot in game 3, taking Ray's legs out for the rest of the series.

Forgot about that, make me angry again.

There is no Green deal.



Just a rumor with numbers that do not make sense.

Yup, agent leaked salary is meaningless

Forget about the terry signing, if the number for green is anywhere near the truth, da would be right up against the 74 mil cap if ray were also included.  This would effectively leave little to no room to sign a single other player (like pietrus or steisma).

That simply can't be can it?  I have to assume da know ray is gone.

Sucks.

Well this isn't necessarily true...the deals for Green and Bass could be backloaded in which would probably give us more money to retain Ray and others

Do you understand anything? who cares if its backloaded and if they still can retain him...

you sign jeff green your not only sending a message, your taking away minutes

whats he gonna get now 5 minutes a game?

  Maybe he's concentrating on signing players that are going to be able to get more than 5 minutes a game of playing time first.

Allen averaged about 20 ppg in the 2008 Finals. 

In 2010, Ray came off of a record setting game 2 in the Finals, and then was kneed in the thigh by Artest early in game 3.  He then didn't hit a single 3 pointer over the next 3 games in Boston and even had a few of his 3 point attempts blocked.

I think you have to think that way. Relying on a player to come back and not have back up plans is a good way to screw ourselves over.

bottomline...does ray make or break this team next season?
