There's half of me that feels like he betrayed us and joined our enemy to get back at us. Then there's the other half that feels like the Celtics got what was coming to them for trying to trade him last season.

But, I try to look in the middle and see from his point of view. Maybe he felt that he wanted security and to feel wanted. Miami Heat, as much I hate them, could have gave a great presentation as the defending champs.

Pat Riley and his staff must have really impressed Ray Allen to make this decision. Still, I will miss him very much and thank him for the 5 great years he gave to the Boston Celtics. Instead of looking at it from a negative view like he wanted to leave because of his relationship to Rondo, going to the bench after being injured, or nearly being traded at the trade deadline. Look at what he brought to this team and what he sacrificed to help us win a championship. No Ray Allen, No Paul Pierce, No Kevin Garnett, or No Rajon Rondo we wouldn't have Banner #17. His legacy should be remembered as being one of the deadliest 3 point shooters in NBA history.

I wouldn't be surprised if Pat Riley did what he did like with LeBron, even though Rays won one before he probably showed him a handful of rings and said you want this many? You have one and for each of the years you are with us we can try and add to each of your fingers.

If you can't beat em join em, whatever. I'm over him and ready to kick Ray and the Heat's ass next year with a fully reloaded and energized squad. In the words of KG and Paul our run isn't over.

It'll get easier as the days go on.  In reality, It was the best fit for both sides.  Ray gets what he wants and Miami gets better.  We are hurt by it but not destroyed becasue our offense will be different and younger.  It really came down to loyalty and Ray thought that wasn't enough.  Today I can say, I'm fine with it. :-\

Agreed. Were not about one person. This was personal he wanted to get back at boston. I'm tired of ray wanting to be painted as the sympathetic figure. His ego and reluctance to accept a lesser role for the good of the team was the problem. We will be ready for the cheat that's for sure. No more wasted 12-15 seconds trying to free up ray for a shot.

I'm starting to think it might be for the best for us. This allows us to turn the page on the "big 3" era and form a new identity. Although I could be just convincing myself of this so I'm not as down about losing the best 3 point shooter to our rival, but who knows.
