(AP) --Ray Allen is taking his talents to South Beach too.
Allen told the Miami Heat on Friday night that he has decided to leave the Boston Celtics and join up with the reigning NBA champions. Heat owner Micky Arison tweeted the news just after 9:30 p.m., and Allen's decision was subsequently confirmed by his agent, James Tanner.
Miami could only offer Allen the mini mid-level, worth about $3 million for next season.
