sell out

 

How is he a sellout? He's taking less to go to Miami.

 

So I take it there's no salary cap in the NBA? I honestly don't know.

 

woooooooooohooooooooooooo...welcome to the H E A T ... Ray!! I can sense the 3 pointers swooooooooooooooshing already...

 

Yeah they have one and it has it's own loopholes and legal mumbo jumbo. Check this out:

not cause of the money just the fact that hes joining the heat after they just beat his team.

 

Celtics tried to screw Ray, now gets a chance to screw the Celtics. Love this!

 

Yeah heck him for taking a greater opportunity of winning a championship over money, what a scumbag athlete :icon_rolleyes:

 

That's all they need. Another good player.:icon_frown:

 

Its more about hating Rajon Rondo than anything else

 

At the end of a day, it's a smart move for Allen. He doesn't have to be a war horse on this team and will have fresh legs for a long run in the playoffs.

 

if Mike Miller can c**k ride to a ring, no reason why Ray Allen cant do that same

 

Still using that bitter sauce eh Mike.

 

was unaware that stating fact was being bitter

 

Hitting 7 threes in a title clinching game isn't c**k riding. Hate isn't your color dude.

 

[MENTION=1535]mj1987us26[/MENTION] .. I can't wait to see him in OUR colors...green looked crapty on him. lol

 

Easy on my Gata boy phool.

 

doing ABSOLUTELY knowing during your entire career then having one good game to get a ring = c**k riding
