Quote from: cman88 on July 07, 2012, 03:13:02 PMdamon took more $$ than the red sox offered...as disheartening as that was, you could sort of see his line of thinking there.the thing with Ray that IMO is worse is that he took LESS money to go to Miami...the c's clearly had the best offer on the table and ray still said "see ya im going to miami"I would've liked to see a 3 year offer from the Celtics. I haven't heard anything. All I've heard was Ray wanting a 27 million deal over 3 years, which we couldn't afford (though not blaming him for asking).I'm of the opinion that a well deserved 3 year deal would be along the lines of 15-18 million, and I would have thought that Ray would have accepted it.But all I've seen offered was a 2 year deal, and I think that more than anything was the deal breaker. Still no excuse to go with Miami from where I'm standing, but I think the Celtics could have done a better effort to keep him at a reasonable affordable price.I'd love to be proven differently.

Look folks. Ray is not Bin Laden.
