"Hey Cry Baby! It's me Quitter! Yeah. Out here in LA instead of Rondo we have Chris Paul. Isn't that so much better! Cmooonnn. We have a new owner and all sorts of phony democrats out here in LA! We'll fit right in!"

"Ray, you've been to Ohio. Think about what you're doing."
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

Come on Ray come play in the same arena where you threw brick after brick after brick to shoot the Celtics out of banner 18 and help Lakers to their 16.

Sidenote: Doc Rivers is a fake. He fits right in with the Clippers.

I wish Ray could go to Washington. He'd get all the wide open corner 3s he could possibly want.

They're saying the Spurs are going after him too..now that could be a good look for him.

"Heyyyy Ray Ray! You're considering whether to quit amidst controversy, and I can totallyyyy understand that. How 'bout you do what I did instead and take the easy way out? It gets a lot of brownie points in people's short term memories, and it will cement your legacy as the Ultimate Ring Chaser. How great is that? I can see that now all over TNT in LA. Oh and btw I may bench you in favor of someone who plays defense and doesn't lose the ball every time they try to dribble. When that happens, just blame the point guard. It worked once for us."

Spurs would be a good fit, wouldn't be the first time he ended up on the team that knocked his team out of the playoffs the season before ::)

  I can't think of too many former Celts that I'm less interested in than Ray. At this point I'd just as soon see a "bring back Antoine" thread, or maybe read that Scal's hoping to be  on our roster next year.

I don't think Ray would be a good fit for the Clippers. Their wing defense is already dodgy enough.

SG - JJ Redick, Ray Allen
SF - Matt Barnes, Hedo Turkoglu

That is a very weak wing rotation. I'd rate every one of the four as below average defensively. Everybody except for JJ Redick has below average quickness (lateral and end-to-end).

Yeah. If he wants more rings, which I imagine is the only reason he's still playing, they're probably the best bet.

Not sure Ray is listening to the guy who benched him for Avery Bradley.

That really would be a great place for him. And seeing that I'd like to see the Spurs win again I'm all for it.
Peace through Tyranny

I likes the Spurs.  Love the way they play.  Much rather see Ray there rather than Cleveland or the Clips.
