Heat owner Micky Arison broke the news several minutes ago. For anyone hoping Arison is drunk tweeting, Yahoo! Sports Marc Spears has also confirmed the news. Hard to fault a player for taking less money. I believe Ray had some type of grudge against the Celtics organization. Must have been those attempted trades and the [...]

  A lot of us are waiting for word from Ray Allen… including, apparently, Mickael Pietrus.  But Peaches might be rooting for Ray to head south. #CelticsTalk: “If Ray comes back, I just don’t see it coming together with the #Celtics, but we’ll see,” said the agent for M.
