Ehhh...Boston had just taken Miami to 7 games and may have win that series if not for Dwayne Wade being one of the dirtiest players in the game. The C's were actively looking to trade Rondo as well to smooth out chemistry issues (OKC was a likely partner for Westbrook) but Ray left so the C's bagged it.
Anyways, I get that Ray won a title so he's validated from a winning perspective. It was still a bitch move and something I lost a ton of respect for him from. I'd rather not have to cheer for him.
And comparing Ray leaving for Miami and KG waiving a no trade clause isn't comparable at all. Singe wanted Pierce and KG off the roster because their window was now officially closed based on the parts they could fit around them. KG, never in a million years, would have left Boston for Miami the way Ray Allen did. Just up and leave for the rival rather than staying and fighting? No way. Pussy move.
No they weren't
