When he decided to pack up his stuff and move to the greener (and sunnier) pastures of Miami, Ray Allen needed to just treat today's Heat introduction as a formality and keep it moving. Instead, Allen was asked about the Celtics lack of urgency in their pursuit of him this off-season and the guard bit:
We see what you're saying, but c'mon Ray, the Celtics needed to sign those other players (i.e. Jason Terry) as an insurance policy, just in case you didn't come back to Beantown. And look what happened. Hey, it's not that we're complaining over here because we will be enjoying the first match-up between Allen's old squad and his new team just as much as everyone else.
