Ha! My friend posted that pic. He said Ray was cool. Everyone onboard telling him to sign here, but he was not giving anything away. Emilio & Gloria Estefan on the flight too, so maybe they can offer his wife a record deal, if she even sings. My friend said this, which I have no idea what it means:

"nice guy, wouldn't comment. but his checked bag was half empty from baggage claim!"

well it doesn''t seem like he's signing here but who cares. let's jump on Camby/Rashard .. that would still be a huge improvement. I'm beyond good with that.. I just want some clarity on what his deal is because we've been hyping Ray coming here for a while now and it's getting annoying.

Also i'm going to lol when one of Ray/Terry is crying because there's some many good players at the SG spot & if they move Bradley aside, they can have fun guarding Wade again 8-)

Watching the The Association on NBATV and seeing how Ray is with the Boston guys... I find it really hard to see how he would leave that.

Probably because he only packed for two nights. lol The alternative is that people from Miami stole his personal belongings.

Hi guys, first post.

I have a bad feeling we're being played by Ray Allen and the Celtics until the FA pool dries up and Boston has had a chance to make all their moves.

I hope I'm wrong.

NBA Rumors ‏@NBARUMORS

If Miami fails to sign Ray Allen, they'll turn their attention to Rashard Lewis. Sources confirmed the parties have already been in contact.

Ray putting those headphones on for some shut eye. He is about to have some sweet dreams about that no-trade clause that Ainge is about to give him.

i don't understand. did you guys expect him to NOT go back to boston after the trip and just stay here until november lol? i think the longer this drags and the better our odds are. ray seems like a cartesian guy who will not make a final decision before going home and thinking it through.

So basically Ray has till tonight to decide because Rashard is visiting tomorrow

edit: and just because Ray went back to Boston does not mean Miami is dead. Chicago had 2 meetings with Wade, LeBron didnt visit with Miami last, etc

At least I can confidently say that nothing will be reported for another 5 hours. They won't announce anything while he is in the air.

Even if ray chose Miami while in miami, what do you expect him to do? He stayed for two days and maybe he wants to go home now, no?

If he's not saying anything, he's going to stay with the Celtics. It's obvious.

Anyway Lewis tomorrow and Camby should be in.

I just hope that we are not offering the mid level for Lewis. He s not worth it.
It should be min or GTFO

It's possible Ray has come to an agreement with the Heat, and is heading back to Boston to tell his teammates, coaches and other Celtics colleagues first.

It's also possible Ray hasn't made up his mind, or is going to sign with the Celtics.

If he does, then Miami should go for Camby and Rashard Lewis. The truth is, that probably makes more sense for the Heat. A legit rebounding center who can block shots, and another big who can hit 3s. Hey Ibaka: try blocking shots from the 3pt line when you are guarding Rashard. Plus, Ray isn't exactly a great defender at 37, right?

Will you people freaking relax and just wait? Jeezus.

"Omg he's on a plane going to Boston. That's it! That means he's resigning with them!"

No...that means he's on a plane going back to Boston. :roll:

No, it's not obvious. It's a big decision and he's not gonna decide on a whim

Return to Miami Heat
