Ray had a player option for this upcoming season and he's formally chosen to exercise it, meaning that he will be a Celtic next year. The option was for $10 million.
Ray will be 36 in July but still manages to perform on the court like he's 10 years younger. During this past season he shot career highs from the field (49%) and from three-point range (44%) all while breaking Reggie Miller's three-point record.

Nice Mike. Last year I think we both posted that Ray re-signed within a couple minutes, but I beat you. This year you got it in 3 minutes earlier. Touche. lol.
So it doesn't go to waste, here's what I said: "Works for me. Ray's numbers were fantastic last year and he was one of the healthiest Celtics. Ray has said he would be back next year the night the Celtics got eliminated, but if he was greedy he could have parlayed his All-Star season into a multi year deal with some team, but Ray has repeatedly said he wants to remain in Boston."
Great pic btw.
Welcome Back Ray Allen!
See you in 2011-12 season!

Ray Allen is a man with true class and professionalism.
I wish more player would emulate his work ethic and carry themselves in his manner.
Welcome back Ray...looking forward to seeing you add to your record again next year.

Welcome back!!! Glad I get to wear my new Ray Allen gear when you return to Atlanta to play the Hawks this fall.
I stan for #20
Very good news! :)
Now let's get #18 in 2012!
Ray Allen is a true Celtic and should be in the Celtics hall of fame as well as Paul and Kevin
When no one would ever consider coming to Boston, because of the climate, Ray Allen recognized the Celtic legacy and willingly embraced going to Boston and becoming a Celtic.
He embodies Celtics pride and seeing this makes me happy.
So glad to see that ray will be back next year, yay Ray :)
I love Ray, he's the guy :) #20♥ ♣
Welcome back!!!!!!
I'm thinking...after next year..the only way gm ainge can redeem himself for ruining this years run for banner number 18 is to get dwight howard.
ur ryt dude, get dwight and get banner 18..
and to ainge, plz dont try to trade allen in trade deadline nxt season.. he has the heart of a celtic and a heart of a champion..
Shown a deep contribution in the playoff,
Ray maybe losing minutes,
But Celtic will bring him his second ring and banner #18 next season!
good to know that Ray still wants to stay in boston team. I'm so glad^_^ . Ray is the best player and a true cletic.
GO.!! RAY. ALWAYS BLEED GREEN.!!
=nobi2014=
Yeah to Ray!..last I knew Dwight yang free until AFTER the 2012 season I don't think getting a " me" player fits in with the Celtic organization..No Dwight Howard stop with the Dwight ban wagon already
Its Ray Ray all the way!
