Celtics' Rey Allen to join Miami Heat

Boston Celtics' Rey Allen to join Miami Heat!

Veteran Celtics shooting guard Ray Allen is headed to the NBA champion Miami Heat, Heat owner Micky Arison said on Twitter on Friday.

"Its 2:30am in London and I was just woken up with great news. Welcome to the family #20!!" Arison tweeted.

Allen can't formally sign with the Heat until July 11, according to NBA rules.

But the 10-time All-Star had met with Miami officials on Thursday and was reported by US media to have agreed to an offer worth considerably less than what the Celtics were prepared to pay.

Allen spent five seasons with the Celtics, winning an NBA title in 2008.


In June of last year, he exercised his contract option to remain with Boston, keeping intact the team's "Big Three" unit of Allen, Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett.
