Get rid of Ray Allen, one of the top five in the league, you must be dippin' the wet daddies...
Take Rashard Lewish and Radmonivich off the DL and you've got a whole different outcome (anyway, we'll deal with reality and what is)...
But you wantin' to get rid of Ray is very like minded to Wally Walker or Woody Woodward...
Ray Allen has an ego problem. I'm sure you could talk to someone who knows about people with that kind of problem. When he's on, he's a great player no doubt about it...But he's a cocky dude that didn't back up ANYTHING he said in this series. He was talkin all that weak ass shit about Bowen, but Bowen is the one that shut his ass down. He should have just shut the fuck up and played the game-that is why i don't like him.
I already gave my example, but come on....If the Sonics had, Antonio Daniels, Ridnour, Lewis, Fortson, and a good center, nobody would be fuckin with them. Ray Allen just adds that "super stardom" that Seattle teams can't get passed. When the Mariner's did hella good that one year, they didn't have any one player that saved their asses or that they relied on. The Sonics rely on Ray Allen to knock down 3's and score 25+ points per game...He can't do that. He can try, but while he's taking his "high profile" jump shots AND MISSING THEM, the Spurs came back down and scored damn near every time. His shot selection in this series was MARGINAL at best.
BTW, I didn't say get rid of him. I said let him go, cause he's a free agent, and he's gonna want to get PAID. Well, FUCK HIM....To be honest, he's not worth it. The Sonics WILL end up relying on that super star to carry them, and we all know Seattle teams CRUMBLE when that happens...Hence them losing this series...If Lewis was in the game, I really don't think it would have played out much different, the Spurs are just a better team than the Sonics at this point....
But damn, I'd like to think I'm smarter than the people sittin in the front desk, lol...You can like Ray Allen all you want, but it's not gonna change my opinion on him. He's like Reggie Miller, only not as good and with a way bigger ego problem. Oh yeah, no wet daddies for me...But thanks for that relevant comment
I could say you been hittin the dope pipe if you think Ray Allen is in the top 5...
Allen Iverson
O'Neal (Shaq and Jermaine)
Dwyane Wade
Steve Nash
Chauncey Billups
Stephon Marbury
They're all better than Ray Allen, IMO. If you disagree, that's fine. But I'm not tryin to make this an argument. Hopefully the Sonics will do something intelligent this off-season, but that would be a first. Cause they shouldn't have traded Desmond Mason.
