Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 2660809, member: 1329"] I think Ray's point is that there were 2 separate decisions. 1) Whether or not to accept Boston's extension offer. Ray felt like he did a lot for the city of Boston, and then they offered him less than he thought he was worth. From 2012: Once his decision to leave was made, he then: 2) Assessed the options. I think the video says it was Minnesota and Memphis plus the Heat. Those 2 may have offered salaries above what Boston offered. That could be what he refers to as his market value, or he may just be talking about what he perceived his market value should have been (which is of course not how it works). Either way, he chose Miami (and as you said, the better chance to win and play with great players) than presumably higher contracts elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
