KD was the franchise player who lost after being up 3-1 and he didn't close out the series well. Then he jumps to their team. Then folks find out that the GSW were talking to him the whole time.

Allen knew what he was doing when he signed to take less money and take on a lesser role in Mia. I don't hold that against him cause a lot of guys get competitively soft at that point in their career and become ring chasers. I don't feel sorry for him getting trashed on by all the other celtics cause he knew that was gonna be the price for another championship. Allen didn't get it nearly as bad as KD so he's just wants his cake and to eat it too at this point.

Yup, I totally understand why he left. They were all getting old, and Ray knew that their window was closing. Unfortunately for the Celtics, KG's injury In 09 is what squandered the possibility of a 3 peat. There's a good chance that Celtics team would have won 4 championships had Garnett not gotten hurt. But once Miami got LeBron, it was pretty much game over.

Christian Patterson The original comment I responded to stated "Ray speaks quietly, like an adult". Because of that fact, he respected Ray Allen. My opinion was directed towards that comment. Read the comment that started the thread, and then my comment and you'll understand my statement.

[@mynameisblankspace]

The Celtics organization disrespected Ray Allen pretty much his entire tenure there after they won. They tried to trade him three times. They tried to make him come off the bench for Avery friggin Bradley? Ray has been nothing but class personified. Also, the Heat and Celtics were never rivals. Ray has my respect.

[@PGO_Gaming]

Elan Smith Avery friggin Bradley was and still is an elite defensive guard that set the tone with his defense. Ray still got minutes, just not as much.Rondo was also constantly in trade talks and he never complained. How Ray Allen comes off in the media has no bearing as to whether he is a classy individual or not. Fact remains, he left a team in Boston, to play for a Miami team they had fought and scrapped against for much less money. And he left without even telling anyone. It's a snake move.

[@beastmode218]

Ray did this to himself. Rondo beef with him started where Ray's decline physically started to show not being reliable on defense and Rondo wanted Young kid Avery Bradley to take Ray's minutes. This was around KG's injury in which Rondo went in trying to fill the void in the lockeroom being that voice. Ray thought Pierce and KG was supposed to have his back vs Rondo where how could they if you was never close to them like brothers to begin with? His seclusion lead to Rondo taking his spot on the Big 3 that was in Boston. He felt like he was bitter and betrayed so he went and join Miami to get back at them. His seclusion in Boston lead to his downfall with the team and he was too proud to admit that. Him joining Miami set off Pierce and KG the wrong way on how they saw Ray.

I loved the celtics when they had the big three...while it was kinda hard seeing them split up at the time...I think it's time that those guys get over it and just move on...at the end of the day nothing last forever. The nba is abt business and ppl making decisions that they think is in their best interest. Ray is a humble dude and he made a decision and I think those guys especially Paul and rondo is just too salty and always come across like two guys who love to hold up a grudge to the very end.

Molly qerims question to Ray Allen “so you weren’t salty?” How you gonna ask a legend a ridiculous question like that?

[@Eazy_P_40]

Ray was in his late 30s when he left Boston for Miami in the summer of 2012 and he felt that the best opportunity for him to win a championship was with the Miami Heat. Idk why people still talk about this being an issue. Ray Allen deserves more respect.

@@cmjones223 The thing is that already after his first year in Boston there were rumours that the Celtics wanted to trade him and they clearly wanted nothing to do with ray benching him and giving him less and less minutes... I really thought that it was awfull treatment to one of the most important guys on the team that won you a ring and they even cut off some money from his salary... I think that Ray did a wise move to leave because they didn't respect him in Boston...And when he left suddenly everyone was surprised and wanted him to stay... Hmmmm...

[@Pwop_]

I grew up around the Celtics when the Big 3 came together. Every year it felt like goal number 1 was win the chip, goal number 2 was beat Kobe and goal number 3 was beat Lebron. When Ray left the Celtics and joined the Heat it felt like a betrayal by him to chase the ring even if it meant making it harder on everyone who’d been on that mission with him the last couple years. Thats why KG Paul and Rondo are hurt, Ray just jumped ship to the rivals and the fans and the team felt caught off guard.

[@kevc21]

@PwopSullay... yeah, as a FAN, I'm sure it felt like a betrayal to your team. That's cool. BUT AS GROWN A** PROFESSIONAL MEN, the NBA is a business, and each team is a different employer. There was no duty to be "reporting" or "getting permission" from fellow co-workers. KG and PP act like they OWN RA.

[@micaheldey1981]

Fong calling me a dummy just showed your true nature. Keyboard warrior. You would never do that face to face with me. It’s a Buisness for the owners and Managment, for the players it’s deeper. They can be upset when you leave and go to war with a player that took you out, it’s obvious you can’t understand that. Yes he had the right, he also has to deal with the aftermath of his decision. As far as KD it’s not even close, Ray had a Chip with the BC. Leaving to go to the over stacked Heat was crushing for the team. It didn’t further his legacy, only helped Bron. You are clearly a Bron fan boi and love it.
