While Allen appears to have not made up his mind, one has to figure he will sign with the Cavaliers if he forgoes retirement and decides to play in his 19th NBA season.
The Cavs offer Allen both a chance to compete for championships and a chance to reunite with his good friend LeBron James.
Allen and James were teammates as members of the Miami Heat for the past two seasons, with the two winning a championship together in 2013.
With Kyrie Irving, Kevin Love and James in the fold, the Cavaliers are the clear-cut favorites to emerge from the Eastern Conference, which surely appeals to Allen.
However, if Allen does end up hanging ’em up, he’ll do as the greatest three-point shooter in NBA history. Allen has the most career three-point makes in regular season and postseason history.
Allen averaged 9.6 points and 2.8 rebounds per game this past season with the Heat.
