08:11 AM ET 11.01 | Had Ray Allen inked with Los Angeles, perhaps this would have sat easier with Kevin Garnett. The Clippers ultimately offered their full mid-level exception ($5.6 million) to Jamal Crawford before Allen had a chance to fly to Los Angeles following his interview with Heat president Pat Riley. But the Miami guard claims he would have taken the Clippers seriously, if they had given him a chance. "I believe they thought I was using them as leverage," Allen said. "But I spoke with (coach) Vinny (Del Negro) and their people before I came down (to Miami). I said we'll set up a trip." ... "I wasn't flying from here all the way to LA just to hang out. As a free agent, I've never gone anywhere just to visit."

As if it matters.
He's in the best place he could be right now. Boston ain't winning anything in the near term.....and Miami is the defending Champions and arguably.....a much better team this year versus last year.
Not to mention that Allen had 19 points in 30 minutes in his Heat debut against the Celtics (still LMAO over this) !
Yep......life does go on after leaving Boston ;-) .

If I may ask why are people so upset at Ray for leaving in Boston. He was not a Celtic legend. He was not drafted by the C's. He played five years there and gave his all and helped win a Ship but it is not like Pierce left the team. Pierce is a true Celtic and it would be a disgrace if he left and went anywhere. Ray dealt with numerous trade deadline talks and no one was upset at the C's. Dude was a hired gun who's contract ran out and left so I was just wondering why folks in Boston hate the guy so much. I will say he acts like a broken hearted lover the way he talks about leaving Boston.
