The news that guard Ray Allen decided to leave the Celtics and join the Miami Heat took Twitter by storm. Everyone from Heat stars LeBron James and Dwyane Wade to NBA insiders and prominent media members weighed in on the move.

Some of the most interesting:

#HeatNation please welcome our newest teammate Ray Allen #Wow #JesusShuttlesworth
— LeBron James (@KingJames) July 7, 2012

Gotta take a break from my teammates Re Wedding anniversary to say WELCOME!!! #HeatNation continues to grow..
— Dwyane Wade (@DwyaneWade) July 7, 2012

And lastly, a prediction from Marc Spears of Yahoo! Sports that seems very much in the realm of high probability.

I'm sure we will see the champion Heat open the 12-13 season with Ray Allen on their roster at home against the Celtics.
