woj article: ray chose miami to stick it to the celtics

[cman88]

heres the thing, there is soo much animosity towards this move not really because Ray allen left, but the circumstances surrounding it and who he went to join.

if Ray had gone to someone like the Clippers I DOUBT there would be this much animosity towards the move. they wouldve offered comparable money, a staring job and

Ray allen couldve let Doc/Ainge know he didnt want to return to boston and facilitate a sign and trade like Nash did that wouldve netted us some assets in return

instead, Ray allen had no intent to return to boston...yet strung along Doc/Management into thinking he could return.

made rediculous demands like 3years/27million$ and then went and signed with Miami for 3years/9million$ its a slap in the face to the celtics.

we know that Ray allen HATED coming off the bench for the Celtics and thought doc disrespected him for doing it...yet, for Miami he is ok with coming off the bench for wade and playing even a lesser role.

Boston fans are a loyal bunch, Ray had he stayed likely wouldve had his number retired...instead he spat in the fans faces and decided to sell out to ride Bron/wades coat-tails for an easier chance at a ring

i lost ALOT of respect for ray with the way he's handeled this whole situation
