[NOHCP3]

Would like to see this happen. Something tells me he'll at least give the Clips a listen though. Also what type of pitch will Riley give him? :lol I'm sure with the less classy players just bring them around Miami and show them some women and the clubs and they're good... Ray ray seems like he'd like to be shown where the gym is and some houses and schools :lol so classy

There are 8 assists coming directly from Lebron's hands every game. He just has to be on the receiving end of those and things will be just fine.

I rather see Miami sign Manny Harris. http://www.talkofdetroit.com/beta/images/entry_mid_579.jpg

35.9 FG% from the 3 points territory. Harris is very athletic, and a good defender. Cavaliers waived him a couple of days ago.

Didn't he get waived by the Cavs? Wouldn't be a bad signing... Would just be "a signing" to me. Allen is the big name and best fit IMO. Other than a legit C

Well still feels like Allen could be Betraying Boston if he signs with Miai on a personal level but a business level makes a whole lot of sense as he wont have to work nearly as hard to get clean looks with the attention Lebron and Wade command. Also it is a lot easier pill to swallow backing up another HOF like Dwade than a young chap like Like Avery Bradley who hasn't done Sh!t in the league.

Of course it doesn't, moron. At least it shouldn't, but you know how fans are. Shane Battier is supposedly a great guy off the court, but once he signed with Miami that sort of went out the window. Same thing with Ray.

Well if Healthy and Not having to play Ridiculous minutes to stay fresh he could be deadly on miami. What do U get with Allen a Guy that will make defense pay and think twice for Doubling Lebron or Wade. Miami can also get creative with there Lineups with Wade,Allen, Battier, Lebron, Bosh or Chalmers, Allen, Wade, Lebron, Bosh ect..

He just seems like a perfect fit. Can stretch the floor, doesn't need the ball and a high IQ and character guy.

Miami's always been at their best when Miller was healthy and gave them that sniper out there. Ray should be able to fill that role with more consistency.

I believe he was telling the guy he replied to that because Battier joined the Heat, people's perception of Battier has changed. Now people see him as cocky and arrogant like every Heat player, which is ignorant.

If thats true then he's for sure staying unless he's having some serious personal problems with some of the guys and he can't see himself returning.

I just don't get why Ray is showing interest in Miami and is over there. Boston is offering more money, staying with his buddies the big 3, a very good and improved version of Boston and if this is true then a no trade clause which basically means he won't have to think about being traded. Why is he in Miami anyway? Maybe his wife is interested in living the good life in Miami?

It just makes no sense right now.

Unless you're absolutely useless like an Eddy curry or eddie house, Pat Riley sticks by his guys thick and thin. A lot of Heat fans wanted Mike Miller amnestied and gone last summer for an upgrade, but Riles stuck by him.

Allen knows that Riley won't throw him under the bus and trade him. Riley is the best guy to play under .. no clause needed

Windhorst mentioned that Boston might be making their offers more public as a PR move. Just so that when Ray does leave it looks like they wanted him to stay.

It's possible neither side is really interested in a future together. Allen sure seems like he's planning on moving on.

Clutch as f*ck move by Ainge. That clause could be the difference between him signing or leaving.

lol the celtics are so gay


you cant blame allen for leaving, those guys in boston are old and when a bunch of old guys play on a team it suddenly just disappears and they are finished. Like falling off a cliff. It happens FAST.

The Heat on the other hand will 3-Peat and win many titles as they're still in their prime, and will get better together with time/chemistry

leaving boston for miami is a no brainer move, theres no reason to be a celtic, NONE

If we can just land one or the other, i'll be happy. They'd both be great additions. I tend to think Allen will sign w/ the C's though.

Consistency. We often go through droughts from behind the line, and we're a significantly different team when we're making 3s.

Ray Allen is the most consistent 3 point shooter in history.

Plus, we can play Wade less minutes.

Yeah Im almost Positive TOmorrow it will be announced he Signs with Miami, if HE doesn't Lebron and Wade did ALOT of hyping this guy up for nothing. Also they have wasted a few days putting there eggs in his basket if he Resigns with Boston they need to focus on Camby and another Wing Player like Rashard Lewis although I rather have someone like Nick Young.

Not really any more bizarre than keeping his best interests in mind. Loosing his starting spot to Bradley would've hurt his pride, and with the Celtics signing Terry it doesn't send a message of faith to Allen either.

I would've agreed with you previously, but things have changed at Boston, Ray isn't as significant as he once was, and I believe that's a factor. Ray is probably looking for role security a bit more now.

He's thought process is probably more of a selfish one, and that's not a criticism.

[#1SportsFan86]

Joining the Heat would be such a p-ssy move for Ray Allen. Seriously.

This whole "I must win a championship at all costs" thing is really bizarre. You're supposed to try to BEAT the Heat, Ray....not join them.

That's how it is in today's NBA...if you can't beat them join them.

If Allen come's back to Boston in a Heat Jersey he's gonna get booed everytime he get's the ball.

is that really ray, looks like a 60 yr old grandpa lol

[andgar923]

:rockon:

Everybody's concentrating on Bron and Wade's pitch to Ray. But they're forgetting the best recruiters Miami has:

Pat and Zo

It isn't an accident that they always seem to mention 'family' when talking about their team. A key word that will be brought up repeatedly.

[SilkkTheShocker]

That guy IBob has been wrong just as often as he's been right. Either way I think we'll find out today


True. But he does have some connections. I just don't see any way Ray stays in Boston with Terry in the fold. Not enough minutes unless they drastically Rondo's mins.

[jbot]

meh, they already have guys who camp out at the 3pt line.

[KB2009Champ]

Lmao send me that link too.

[PK3434]

meh, they already have guys who camp out at the 3pt line.

yes but they dont have anyone that draws as much attention near the 3 point line than ray allen...i cant tell you how many times rondo gets layups on fast breaks because two guys frantically run to ray when hes spotting up..a lot of times pierce drives to allen's side because he knows the defender won't help..ray gets everyone else easy looks without even having to pass.

[LBJMVP]

i dont get why ray would want to go to miami.

his legacy is set in stone and winning another ring won't change anything especially if you go to a team that is rivals with the team you were just on.

its like his thinking was

"well we just got beat by this team twice, one in a 7 game series and next year we will have an even better chance to beat them.... i dont think we can beat them so im just gonna join there team now."

[LBJDW305]

Mike miller and James jones considering retiring...so ray is filling up millers spot and fortunately when it comes to shooting...He is a little better. Also Allen Lebron wade and bosh all on the court will drive defenses insane. Allen is the "Zone buster" as well.

Why would James Jones retire? Dude hasn't had to work hard in years, could easily play a few more seasons.

[HEAT111]

Not true, James Jones was on 790theticket few weeks ago and said that he wasn't retiring and Mike Miller hasn't been updated after saying he was going to check on his health.

[LBJDW305]

I said considering retirement. No point in risking it then be left with zero shooters...I know Miller went to the Dr to see what is left in his body working :lol but he's remained quiet for the most part. I just don't see him coming back. The guy couldnt even stand up on his own! Also Allen is just a better shooter that defenders will always pay attention to just because the name. Besides game 5 miller has been horrible shooting wide open 3s. Very inconsistent to say the least.

[LBJMVP]

why would james jones retire?


and why didnt he play more? i felt like every time he got in he would drain ever three he took?

[Kiddlovesnets]

Rumor has it that the Clippers have canceled meeting with Ray Allen now that they signed Crawford, so its almost certain that Ray will be a Heat.

[livinglegend]

Ray will not sign with Heat. He s playing around with them. :mad:
They need to move on and go for Camby.

So, by 'rumor has it' you mean 'it was widely acknowledged news on ESPN yesterday afternoon'?

And how does Ray not going to the Clippers automatically translate to Ray going to Miami? Did Boston move out of the country? :rolleyes:

He's garbage at defense. With the lack of size on the Heat, you need quick defenders that can rotate and help out.

Ray can at least drive to the basket and dish or hit mid-range jumpers. James Jones does none of that.

I honestly can't see him starting over Dwayne Wade unless Wade has some injuries he needs to deal with at the start of the season and won't be playing. He's missing the Olympics because of injuries, isn't he?

[Derka]

He needs to sit down with Danny and Doc and figure out what it is they have planned here with Jason Terry in the equation. If Doc says he has a plan, I think Ray trusts him enough to listen.

Meanwhile, Danny is taking a huge leap with the no-trade clause, essentially saying the organization wants Ray to retire a Celtic.

Interesting. I think the longer he takes to decide the bigger the chance for Boston. Clearly the Heat presentation didn't blow him out of the water, and he wants to get all of his ducks in a row before choosing.


That article mentioned Memphis as a possible destination... Seeing him go to Memphis would be so weird, but I wouldn't mind it.

You're making a pretty grandiose assumption in believing that's all Ray Allen is seeking to begin with. Judging by your join date, avatar and username you probably weren't even a Heat fan when they won it in '06, so exercise a little decorum and try not to come off as such an oblivious, agenda-driven goon.

Ray Allen has a ring, All Star appearances, as well as league and franchise leading records to his credit. His legacy is set. Another ring does little in the way of upping his overall status as one of the greats of the past 20 years. Stop making lofty conclusions that only further discredit your frontrunning fanbase.

What's your point? The serious cap restrictions don't take effect until 2013-2014. They'll be over the cap filling the remaining roster spots to begin with and they likely lose Stiemsma to Minnesota. Lou Williams made a little over $5 million last season. It's not as if he's going to request anything near a max offer or something.

Danny isn't doing his job if he doesn't consider all options with regard to making the team better, and Ray Allen of all people understands this.
