Good luck to you guys but me thinks you've been had by this "source" :-)


Go spew theories of conspiracy on ur forum, bra.. U're not welcome, here... Troll..

We all saw what you think of the C's so I don't understand the point of u writing on this forum...
Good assessment:

You hate us and you go around your board insulting the Celtics, the only thing that is fascinating is how you face resembles your butt actually.

Nah man...we got enough "Lock Happy" Mods on this board....Let's keep this thread going...it's fun.

DD: Uptown, I'll leave the pic and your post in tact, since the pic is benign. But, this is a fairly obvious attempt to irk the Celtic fans contributing to this discussion. Next "non-conversational" post on here will garner you a warning.

Good shirt Ray! Milwaukee and Seattle destroyed your fashion taste...


looks like a boston style shirt to me :)

There are woods to work on in the Boston area?

Back in 2010 Ray before Ray signed his last 2 year deal in Boston, He went to Miami to meet with the Heat brass who were hotly recruiting him. He may once again return to Boston or maybe this time Miami wins. But he's been at this juncture before. Just saying.

My wife's friend's husband. Had a dinner with him last year with my wife and his. He is a Celtic exec. Can't say much other than that. After learning this I've been in the loop through him. Great guy I'd add.

One extra tidbit; Ray's visit was more leverage. Ray knows championship here or not, his legacy would be much better here than signing with the Heat. And this is important to him.

If it was for leverage, it worked. While Ray was in Miami, Ainge came up with the offer of a no trade clause.

Well I will assume you don't mean me but this is fun who cares if it is true. I will have to lock if Ray signs in Miami because this we get out of hand as it probably already is but why not let this play out. Trades people try and keep secret nobody cares about FA signings that gets leaked all the time.

I want to know from some inside source why we jumped on Jason Terry if Louis Williams is going to be available dammit.

KG was as well pushing Danny to get the deal done no matter what. PP and KG+Doc were pushing for Ray HARD. Nothing really on Rondo. Ray values his relationships with the Big three plus Doc immensely.

I'd imagine the team preferred Terry's shooting ability. Williams' ability to get to the line would have been nice though.

I've been saying for ages Ray would stay. No sources; just logic. Extrapolating from many rich business people I know to how I think a rich basketball player would act and decide.

Most recent tweet regarding Ray Allen:

Sources: TWolves are the heretofore unnamed dark-horse team in the Ray Allen Sweepstakes. Dark, though, as in jet-black.

I'll admit I'd laugh pretty hard if after all of this, neither team gets him and he goes to the TWolves. :lol: Not gonna happen though. Ray wants a contender, not a team that'll be lucky to even make the playoffs.

After the offseason the Wolves have had, they have more than a fair chance of making the playoffs (and making some noise along the way).

Wolves are a decent team, when they're healthy. They have some good, young talent and if it weren't for Rubio going down with that knee injury, they might have slipped into the 8th seed.
