http://0rz.tw/8VT6m Ray Allen wants to stay a Celtic Guard unfazed by trade rumors By Mark Murphy / Celtics Notebook | Wednesday, January 27, 2010 | WALTHAM - His name already has been floated as a trade possibility, but this drill is nothing new for Ray Allen. The Feb. 18 trade deadline accelerates everything at this time of year - perhaps even more than usual this season because of next summer’s unprecedented free agent class - and the Celtics guard is strapped in for the ride. “I can’t say I get worried, because it’s not like you say you’re getting traded and you have to move to Mars,” Allen, a prime candidate because of his expiring max contract, said after yesterday’s practice. “I don’t look at it like that. I’ve been there before. I’ve been in a situation where I expected to be traded and I was traded. If one day I’m traded and told I have to move, then there’s nothing I can do about it. It’s the nature of this job, but the family is something I obviously have to deal with first.” It just so happens that Allen’s family has grown accustomed to the Boston area, including the proximity of the Joslin Diabetes Center for his 2-year-old son, Walker. “That’s part of the job,” Allen said. “You have to figure out the best to do with them, and then I have to do my job.” Allen should be a simple re-signing for the Celtics. He wants to return, will play for a contract worth far less than the one he has now, and will embrace a reduced role if asked. “Have you ever known me to worry about being in the game or playing less minutes?” he said. “I’ve always said I would love to see Tony Allen play more. I would love to see Marquis (Daniels) in there playing more minutes. It means a great deal to this team. “We’re in a great position on the floor and we definitely plan to play a long time, going into June. It does spare me. It spares me a great deal, but the one thing I can say is that I’m in great shape. I never feel winded when I’m on the floor. I’m going to come out and I’m going to need a break, and to get guys in there who are just fresh, period. “This is what I do for a living, so I live my life according to it - how I’m going to play when it’s game day,” he said. “Forty minutes is a lot of minutes as you get older, but whatever comes up next year and however it comes, I’m ready for whatever it is, whatever Doc (Rivers) needs me to do, whatever this team ends up being. I could fit right in with what needs to be done.” And he would do it in a way that fits this team’s financial picture. “At this point, what I’m making now, I made a great living throughout my career,” he said. “I know going into next year I won’t make the money I’m making now. I know that. “I’m ready to be here. I’d love to retire with this organization. That’s up to the team, but I want to be here. This team has proven over decades to be a winner in sports. I’m committed to it, and that’s what I would like to do.” ========== 有情有義 Ray Allen! -- Walter Brown "Red" Auerbach Dennis Johnson Bill Russell Jo Jo White Bob Cousy Tom Heinsohn "Satch" Sanders John Havlicek Dave Cowens Don Nelson Bill Sharman '57 '59 '60 '61 '62 '63 '64 '65 Boston Celtics '66 '68 '69 '74 '76 '81 '84 '86 Ed Macauley Frank Ramsey Sam Jones K.C.
