A bunch of grown men acting like salty teenage girls.
I don't hold years-long petty grudges, so no, I don't.I hope you don't treat your friends with the same attitude.

Stop. Listen, we all love Ray, and NBA great, and more importantly to us, a UConn great. But, he did not handle that departure from Boston well. He did not make friends with a lot of the guys on the team, and, left to their rivals in the east. He could've handled it much better, it's just a fact.
First off, wouldn't call me the misinformed one when I have no bias, second off, calling Ray a superstar at that point in his career is the reachiest of reaches.Misinformed. He had no choice. If he stayed in Boston, he would have been traded, as Ainge had dangled him for a full season as trade bait. In the end after all he did for Boston, Ainge used him. He handeled it the way any superstar would. Then he went to Miami and did more superstar things. Both KG AND PIERCE left Boston too! Where were the cries for unloyalty then?! Difference is their careers died. Rays only improved.
Oh please. Should he have called them? Yeah, maybe. But to hold onto that so tightly for nearly 5 years now to the point where they're excluding him from reunions...Come on, even Ainge and Doc think it's ridiculous.Stop.

People forget how badly Ainge treated Ray.Oh okay. For 2 years Danny Ainge held Ray as trade bait..
LeBron James begs to differ
People forget how badly Ainge treated Ray.
Wrong.No. The Ray Allen ball washing brigade on the Boneyard pretends that he did.
Really.First off, wouldn't call me the misinformed one when I have no bias, second off, calling Ray a superstar at that point in his career is the reachiest of reaches.
Allen was constantly on the trade block and it was no secret they were pushing Bradley to supplant Allen. It's a business and Allen made the best possible business decision. It worked out beautifully for him and these guys are still whining about it 5 years later, it's actually pretty funny.No. The Ray Allen ball washing brigade on the Boneyard pretends that he did.
This is between him and the front office, it has no bearing on the personal relationships that he made over his best years of his career arguably. Ray is in the wrong here, but I think less of this is to malice or disrespect and more a case of miscommunication during an awkward time.Oh okay. For 2 years Danny Ainge held Ray as trade bait. Literally every trade deadline there was rumor after rumor swirling about Ray. Ainge handeled him the worst way possible. At the end Ray said effffff you as he should have. And as for the "if he just called us to tell us he was leaving..." bit, this is a business. Worth millions of dollars. Grow the efffffffffff up. All 5 (6 including doc) would not have a title if it wasn't for Ray, and Pierces retirement story would be about a bunch of "what ifs". Seriously- what a bunch of ungrateful, little whining babies.
