It's really Micky Arison's account, not a fake one. So, unless #20 refers to Steve Colter, the Heat have agreed to terms with Ray Allen. ~David Aldridge

Privately, Ray Allen had insisted to people that he didn't believe the city of Boston would be too hard on him for signing with Miami.

One source close to Ray Allen said in past few hours, "Ray's thinking about another ring, golf, sun as a way to end his career."

Ray Allen has informed Boston that he has decided to sign with Miami, league source tells Y! Sports.

Ray, you just blew an opportunity to win another one for boston and get your jersey hung up with legends. Wrong choice, man, wrong choice.

I know it is going to be rough seeing him in a Heat jersey but that doesn't take away what he has done for this team since he was traded here before the 2007-08 season. I wish him everything but a championship.

F U ray.

[FarFromBoston]

No.

[Marley2Hendrix]

No.

yep.

I appreciate that I never have to watch him try to create off of the dribble again. Similarly, I appreciate that I no longer have to watch the peek-a-boo offense.

[grantlongforpresident]

I have been allen's biggest supporter but if this is true it is TREASON. Heat are the biggest bunch of punks.

[Marley2Hendrix]

F U ray.

[702Celtics]

I appreciate the championship he brought in 2008, but what he did today is no excuse. He's worse than Mark Blount, IMO.

Owner Micky Arison sends out a tweet saying veteran shooting guard Ray Allen will sign with the Heat, giving the NBA champions a big boost.

A splendid summer just got even better for the Heat.

Ray Allen, the NBA’s all-time leader in three-point baskets, is leaving Boston to join the NBA champion, according to a tweet from Heat owner Micky Arison.

“It's 2:30 a.m. in London and I was just woken up with great news. Welcome to the family - No. 20,� Arison tweeted Friday night.

Allen rejected a larger financial offer from the Celtics to accept a multiyear deal from the Heat -- a move that bolsters Miami’s bench and weakens one of its chief Eastern Conference rivals.

Allen, a 10-time All-Star, turns 37 on July 20, but shows no sign of diminished skills. He set a career mark by making 44 percent of his three-point attempts two years ago, then topped that by shooting 45 percent on threes this season, which ranked fourth in the league.

LeBron James and Dwyane Wade lobbied Allen to join the Heat in recent days, and president Pat Riley made a convincing sales pitch in a Thursday meeting with Allen in Miami.

**** YOU ray

[CelticPhule]

**** that guy. He's dead to me.

Adrian Wojnarowski �@WojYahooNBA
Allen believes the capital he's built up playing for UConn and the Celtics would supercede signing with Miami. He's probably misjudged that.

[RajonRondo9dime]

Ray Allen is now the enemy.....

I hope those Ankles dont heal, ****.
