There are plenty of teams interested in veteran guard Ray Allen and the Cleveland Cavaliers appear to be the favorites to land him.
However, the NBA’s all-time leader in 3-pointers made hasn’t made any kind of a decision yet but claims he is still in excellent shape.
“I’ve just been home, taking my kids to school,” said Allen, who has been contemplating whether to retire after 18 seasons in the NBA (via Dom Amore of the Hartford Courant). “I’m working out, taking care of my body. I’m in great shape. I’ll just watch how the season progresses, and if I do feel the desire to continue to play, then I’ll decide what situation is viable for me….
“I still feel certain aches and pains; that’s definitely old age,” he said. “To be able to run, and back off a little bit, lift, and back off a little bit instead of going at it 100 percent all the time like I’ve been doing has helped.”
It would be a bit of a surprise if Ray Allen didn’t wind up on the Cavaliers but it probably won’t be for some time. It could even last until after the All-Star break in February. If that is the case, he would probably still have time to get acclimated with his teammates.
Ray Allen averaged 9.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game while shooting 44.2% from the field, 37.5% from three and 90.5% from the free throw line with the Miami Heat last season. He has averaged 18.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game while shooting 45.2% from the field, 40.0% from beyond the arc and 89.4% from the free throw line in his career.
