:oldlol: I'm sure he's dying for "Heat have lost four in a row, Lebron's supporting cast sucks again!" comments to come flying his way four or five times a year. Notoriety is friggin' awesome when you're 37 and on the tail end of your career.

Will be interesting

If ray is going to be a backup he would much rather backup wade than Bradley I get the feeling.

[QUOTE=NoGunzJustSkillz]he's only gonna catch heat from boston fans.[/QUOTE]

Not true. The World Hates the Miami Heat. Shane Battier was one of the good guys. Now...he's a sellout who just runs in front of people and falls down anywhere on the court.

[QUOTE=nycelt84]No need to hate he gave the Celtics 5 good years and moved on. I appreciate what he did for the Celtics franchise no matter what jersey he may wear in the future except if it is a Laker jersey.[/QUOTE]

+1 Exactly.

Ray deserves a lot of credit and respect for what he has done during his time in Boston. He put his ego aside and accepted the concept and helped bring home another banner. Boston fans who hate on Ray are stupid except in the case of helping the Lakers (Satan's Team).

Since he's already won a title then I'd be taking the $ and staying with the Celtics.

Speaking as a lifelong Boston fan, Miami is nothing compared to the Lakers.

people seem to think that the whole world watches basketball.

sure theres a lot of people who will care (mainly celtics fans, and fair enuf) but at the end of the day who gives a fk.

alot of you guys act like 14 girls with all the gossiping you do, its hilarious

and as for the guy saying look at mike miller, battier, jones etc now that they joined the heat?

umm they all have a championship ring and got the opportunity to play their choosen sport at the highest level with some of the best in the game.

none of them want out of it

battier is throwing opening pitches at mlb games and will forever be known as a winner (both ncaa and nba titles). he also said he got more criticism at duke lol

allen will do whatever is best for him and their will be a big commotion about it for a day then people will move on

Miami won't get Allen :lol .. The'll get Rashard Lewis and maybe Camby if they are lucky.

Wait so choosing to stay based on money is more noble than leaving based on basketball... Right.

Lets be real though. He's staying with a good team, he'll stay with his boys KG and Pierce, with a team that just added some good pieces, with a team that will add some players else with them still having the midlevel to offer another player and the rights to Jeff Green. And on top of all of that, he'll get way more paid.

So he would primarily be staying for more money... and some people are acting like this makes him a martar... as opposed to leaving for basketball reasons.. since when does greed for money> grred for championships.

Barkley went to Houston. Malone went to LA. So what if an over-the-hill superstar wants to chase?

He's staying with a team that should have been 2nd round playoff fodder and will only be worse next season. This team that's assembled will only go the route its previous big-3 did. Bird and McHale were miserable their last 3 seasons when age and injuries relegated them to losing to the likes of the Knicks (1st round), Pistons, and Cavs (2nd round). There's nothing "noble" about staying or going. The guy has already played for 3 teams in his career. At this point, he needs to decide what matters more: money, ring chasing, and/or having fun.
