Nash goes to the Lakers, Allen goes to the Heat. Rivalries officially declared dead.

They should just blow teams out so they don’t have to worry about end-of-game assignments.

That was so much easier than putting I should just try to get the ball in one shot everytime.

Loyalty!

Gotta look out for number one. Players do it, teams do it. Such is life.

Another big reason is that they traded him to Memphis a few months ago but the deal fell through. So I can either spend a few years in Miami, winning rings. Or as soon as shit turns south in Boston (and it will), they’ll ship me off to NBA purgatory. Tough choice.

Loyalty!

I can’t see the Heat going without a traditional PG

Chalmers aint no traditional PG. He doesn’t start the offense the majority of the time. The help for Wade/LBJ will be key – more rest for both. They should just blow teams out so they don’t have to worry about end-of-game assignments.

Its funny, because when I watched Game 6 and 7 of the Miami/Boston series this year, I remember commenting/noticing that Rondo often never passed to Allen, even when Allen was the most reasonable option to pass too. Especially in Game 6, there was a stretch of say 6 minutes or so with Rondo/Allen on the floor, where Rondo wasn’t even looking at Allen and ignoring whatever side of the floor he was on. I thought it was weird but nobody else seemed to notice it so I thought perhaps it was just in my head (plus, everyone was more focused on Lebron dropping 40+).

Just learned today that a big reason Allen left Boston is his deteriorated relationship with Rondo. Thought that was interesting cause it definitely seemed like it was playing out on the court from my perspective.

I think as important as anything else this means they can give Wade more rest and not have as big a dropoff.

Just increases my belief that Miami is head-and-shoulders the class of the East.

Starting five will still be chalmers, wade, james, battier, bosh. Cole, allen, jones, miller (maybe), anthony, and whoever else off the bench

So will Ray push Chalmers to the bench?

I can’t see the Heat going without a traditional PG … Ray is most likely coming off the bench.

They promised him one ring for every one of his fingers

So will Ray push Chalmers to the bench? I wonder if they promised him a starting job or if he’d be OK coming off the bench and getting 20-25 min. a game.

The Celtics said he was “one of their most important priorities” yet they plan on starting Avery Bradley and then sign Jason Terry as the bench scorer. They were counting on Miami not being able to offer him enough.

And to think, the Celtics could have gone after Nick Young.
