By Josh Hill
The Miami Heat won’t be getting LeBron James back his year and that could be ditto for Ray Allen, but don’t go thinking that means that Cavaliers will be 2 for 2 on the free agent signings.

According to Mark Murphy of the Boston Herald, the Cavaliers are not a lock to land Ray Allen if the veteran decides to play another season in the NBA as he has again refuted the speculation started by the media about where and what he’s planning on doing.
"“It’s just what they start talking about on TV — where I’m supposed to go. I have not leaned towards Cleveland,” said Allen. “I have not made any mention of going to Cleveland. These last two months were about me physically, and deciding whether I want to play again.”"
Allen stated in the same interview that he’s not sure if he’s even going to play again in 2014-15, which is still a very real and distinct possibility. That being said, his best chance at a title is playing with LeBron James and no one can be blamed for pegging Cleveland as the most likely spot for him to land should he play a 19th season this year.
