Ray Allen signs with Miami - Page 6 - Basketball Forum : Professional and College Basketball Forums

**Jace** · 07-14-2012, 09:45 PM

J'Covan Brown, an intriguing scoring/shooting PG from Texas, is now off the Heat's summer league roster. He hurt his achilles. Next to zero chance he'd have made it anyway.

Still hoping if we bring in one more guard for insurance its Keyon, if not Terrell. Would be a great sign if Terrell can make the team again, as the odds are stacked even more against him this time around. Can't lie though, it would be cool to see Dooling back home. He gave us fits with Boston both during the regular and postseason. He'd be the ideal insurance guard.

Okay, here are two options for you Marcus. I like number 1 personally. It has the logo like ours does but it has Ray Allen which stays true to your cause.

**Jace** · 07-14-2012, 11:22 PM

Another vote for the first right here.

**Wade County** · 07-15-2012, 03:40 PM

Ill give up the rights to my avy for Marcus

**Jace** · 07-15-2012, 09:06 PM

I hope we didn't scare him off.

I'll miss him.

Interesting to me still that we sign Ray Ray and the Bulls work out Patrick "Euroleague Basketball Jesus" Beverley....

Well played, Chicago, well played.

Marcus13 · 07-17-2012, 05:53 PM

Oops sorry guys, Im not used to being part of a team board where fans actually...post, lol.

Went with the first one...for now, once the season starts and game pics get taken, it will probably change. Thanks for the warm welcome everyone, Ive been dealin wit alll haters about this switch.

The '07 ankle surgery was for bone spurs also?

Yes, he missed the last 25 games of his Sonic career with them before being traded that draft night following the season

I hate the Bucks - and moreso, George Karl. It wasn't even the fact that they shipped Ray out as much as what they got in return (half a season of a washed up Gary Payton and Desmond Mason). They shipped out one of the best players in the history of their franchise because they felt like Michael Redd was ready to step into that role.

I don't hate the Sonics/Thunder in the same way - I'd say I really dislike them. Ray was coming off the surgery and was aging. As it turns out, I think they could have been a really, really good team with Durant and Ray but I don't blame them for not recognizing it. Plus, it was just hard on me having games not come on until 10:00, 10:30 at night, I wasn't disappointed being traded.

The Celtics....I think time still has to come into the equation here. Lots of great memories but the only Celtic that I actually like on the team is KG. I don't think I'll hold any ill will towards them outside of them being "rivals" now. Ray chose to leave, they didn't send him packing. I will always resent Danny Ainge in the same way that I resent George Karl.

Says a lot about Rondo/Pierce that KG is the one you still manage to like.

So this was one of his last games in Seattle on the cusp of bone spurs if I'm not mistaken?

Yeah, that was. Nobody knows exactly when you contract something like bone spurs.

After that game in January against Utah, he went on to drop 29 or more in 10 of the next 13 games before a freefall so it's safe to say that's right around when they started to bother him. He played another month before calling it quits on the season

**Wade County** · 07-18-2012, 04:24 PM

His J is so butter. As a guy who plays basketball as a shooter -Ray is amazing to watch. Wish I could move like he does without the ball, and better yet, wish I got as good screens as he does

**Jace** · 07-18-2012, 07:06 PM

Exactly WC, I love shooting jumpers, and for years now when I'm on the court I always envision Ray's form from head to toe, and it always helps me out. I've said this since he was in Boston: I could watch him shoot all day, as long as its not against us.

Thanks Marcus, good to have a Ray Ray expert around.
