and now w/their arch enemy -

wow, ray ray joining forces w/da heat (formerly{?} referred to as 'the dark side')... i would've bet money that he'd stay with boston - for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the major contract offer difference.  i guess the rift between him and rondo is deeper than one on the outside might have thought... but allen, walking away from pierce, kg, doc, the celtics - due to lingering resentment towards gm ainge (and all the recurrent trade talks) and the oft times brilliant, sometimes not rajon - is a major upset.  this obviously is another big step (along w/the distance between 'the decision', 'the celebration', the whining, the embarrassments - and lebron's emerged awareness, game focus, and crunch time gene) towards the south beachers relinquishing that black hat once and for all.  i can only imagine pierce's and especially garnett's final reaction to this decision.
