People close to Ray Allen claiming he is thinking about opting out of his contract hoping to return to Boston for 1 year & retire a celtic.

Your thoughts?

prob not happy in Miami. In Boston at least he got a healthy dose of spotlights. In Miami he is only like a three point specialist

I wouldn't take him back though

[Roy H.]

No credibility.  That account has tweeted false "rumors" in the past.

I probably would forgive him if he came back.

He can have donny marshalls job. Maybe it would end the man crush. But to play, no thanks. Doc might start him at power forward.

Yes, hence "rumor" on top.

even if he wanted to , would he be willing to except the vet min ?

The way he is shooting in the playoffs, I am not even sure I would want him back .

He still has a better chance to win a title in Miami , don't see this happening .

Well, "rumor" implies that there is at least some truth to this, rather than a figment of somebody's imagination.

he should go to Seattle and retire a Supersonic

[Monkhouse]

I really don't want him back.

He has damaged the reputation of the Celtics. I understand being consistently traded wasn't right, but that is how the NBA works. Don't spite or spit on the franchise you won a championship with especially since you consider the two players on your team, 'brothers.'

I could care less at this point anyways. He took less money and a reduced role in Miami (he would have had a bigger role in Boston even in 2012-2013)...

Then he had the nerve to say the inclination that he's a 'Celtic.' What? Huh? Excuse me? You think 5 years, and making one heck of an unpleasant exit will make you a Celtic? Come on get real! One thing I know for a fact is clear and obvious. No one. I repeat nobody. Will retire Ray's Jersey at the end of his career, definitely not the Sonics, not the Bucks, not even the Heat, and for sure not the Celtics. You can ride the coattails of Lebron, Wade, and Bosh. But you'll never ever be remembered for trying to cement another try at a championship with a team most people will remember as Celtics fans. And as you know, the best fans are fans who bleed green in my opinion.

this is a joke, no chance he comes back, kevin and paul would be like, u serious bro? after we wanted you back and you left us for the rivals.

[Roy H.]

He has damaged the reputation of the Celtics. 

How so?

Maybe he meant he's damaged his reputaiton with the Celtics. If I'm Wyc I've got an issue with him requesting a meeting with ownership to tell them that he's leaving for the Heat unless they give him double the money.

Kind of seems like he took the meeting to give management the middle finger before he left.

For the vet min maybe but I dont see why he would come back. Running off to Miami for a year to chase a title only to return back to Boston realizing he should have stayed here all along. Not very cool with me. Vet min or nothing.
