Now, they are trying to add the most prolific three-point shooter in league history.

Warriors general manager Bob Meyers said on 95.7 The Game that the team has contacted Ray Allen’s representatives, according to the San Jose Mercury News.

"“We threw our team out there at his representation and I think they’re vetting what they want to do,” Myers said. “Obviously you’ve got to look at a guy like that. He’s a smart enough guy. He’s going to look around the league to see what’s best for him.”(…)“He’s an elite shooter, he’s elite professional and he’s been there,” Myers said. “He checks a lot of boxes for a player that you want.”"

There is a problem, though, and it’s one that Myers even noted himself later in the interview. The Warriors are very deep and it’d be difficult to carve out an amount of minutes that were desirable for Allen.

"“We don’t have enough minutes as it is, so it’s a question of chemistry too,” Myers said."

Also, defense is a big strength for Golden State and Allen wouldn’t be a fit in that respect. At 39, he’s a defensive liability.

Still, the idea of Allen and Curry sharing the court together is one that could excite any NBA fan. With Klay Thompson also in the mix, the Warriors would be absolutely unstoppable from beyond the arc.

Allen averaged 9.6 points on 37.5 percent shooting from beyond the arc this past season with the Miami Heat.
