Thread: Heat sign former Celtics guard Ray Allen

It's something to keep an eye on. I think he wants another title and feels they have a strong chance to repeat. It's his call on whether his body can take it or not.

If I had to take a guess on why Ray left it is this: 1) The signing of Jason Terry, 2) His relationship with Rondo, 3) the fact it looked like the Heat would be favored to win another ring.

Will he even start? Somehow I doubt Miami's willing to play that small on a nightly basis.

Maybe, maybe not. Although he might not have started in Boston either.

I didn't think he was still that upset over the trade rumors, but yeah Rondo.

The Heat play small at some point in most all games. Signing Ray Allen will provide an opportunity for more rotations and rest in every game, without a drop in veteran talent, especially for LJ and DWade. The result is having fresher legs for all at the end of the season as long as all stay healthy.

Heat fans should feel good about this acquisition.

That's what I was thinking.
Can't escape your own age. That said, he should be initially healthy heading into 2012-13.

I hope that LeBron shatters his leg and the team bus gets stuck in the mud and then I will laugh at you...

Heat fans rose in numbers once LeBron signed... bunch of sissy fair weather fans and James pillow biters.
