Still, current Cavs player and former teammate of Allen in Miami, James Jones insists he is unsure of Allen’s plans.

From Tom Withers of the AP:

"Jones recently spent time with in Connecticut with Allen, who is weighing retirement against a shot at a fourth championship ring.“We talked about those things that are important to us, which are families, our legacies and our careers,” Jones said. “So he has a decision to make. Of course we’d love to have Ray. Hopefully he makes a decision that’s best for him, and hopefully it’s a decision to continue to play. But as far as where he goes and what he’s thinking, I don’t know."

Despite Allen’s advanced age (39), he’d be a huge boost for the Cavaliers. The most prolific three-point shooter in NBA history shot 37.5 percent from beyond the arc this past season and averaged 9.6 points per game. The sharpshooter would provide the Cavs some-needed depth.

Allen recently told Don Amore of the Hartford Current that he will not “rush” his decision.

"“I’ve played 18 years, and the way I look at my career, I’m content with everything that I’ve done. I just want to take this summer and see how it goes.”"

Allen has won an NBA championship with both the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat.
