I love Ray as much as anyone- my all time favorite player.

But why can't he just be honest and say that he went to Miami because he felt he had a better chance to win a championship there? The Celtics didn't give him crumbs, on paper. What was Ray goin on in this video about market value? Lol, Boston offered more money than Miami.

And his role in Miami certainly couldn't have been any bigger than what his role would have been in Boston the next year.

The NBA is a business, and Ray couldn't accept that Ainge (being the shrewd GM that he is) tried to better the team by dangling him as a trade piece, but ultimately decided it was best to keep the Big 3 intact. It's pretty clear that this, and Avery Bradley challenging for Ray's spot was the reason he left. And he felt he could win a championship in Miami. 
Not sure why he can't just say all of that.

I'm a Celtics fan, and it was hard to accept at the time. But I get why he did it and have no ill will as a Celtics fan. But he could take some responsibility for how it was handled, and be blatant about the reasons he left.
