Screw Ray Allen. He was a turncoat during a time that the Celtics were trying to win a title.
This is like McHale signing with the Pistons. Dr. J signing with the Celtics or DJ going to the Sixers during their rivalries. If you wanted to sign somewhere else, go to another team not the HEAT.
Green runs deep...never forget it. Nothing personal, just business.
TP, agree with it all except the "nothing personal" part. This was VERY personal.
This quote is from a poster on RealGM. This in conjunction with your quote says it all for me:
Thanks for helping us win in 08, Ray but he's still a traitor. It's a business. It always has been. The fact that the Celtics explored and tried trading Ray was never personal. It was always about the Celtics first.
Ray left for less vs our rival that just beat us because HE took it personally. That's fine. What's done is done. But I certainly wouldn't want the guy around. He bailed on his teammates. Good luck to ya but sorry. No number raised, no reunions if I was his teammate. You left to beat us to teach us a lesson out of spite.
That's all on Ray.
Judas did what he did NOT for $$ and NOT for another title (that was just a bonus). Benedict did what he did out of spite and vindictiveness to hurt Ainge, Doc, Rondo and the organization. The fact that his "buddies", PP and KG were hurt in the crossfire and were "collateral damage" was of NO significance to that traitorous dog.
Sleep with the enemy, die with the enemy, have your number retired by the enemy. #20 will NEVER be in the rafters associated with Judas. Fultz, Josh jackson, Tatum, Ball, Ayton, Doncic maybe, not you, traitor.
