NBA Rumors: Ray Allen considering signing with Cavs, Warriors
Ray Allen isn’t ready to retire yet, as he’s planning an NBA comeback and would like to sign with one of four teams.
Ray Allen is already one of the greatest shooters that the NBA has ever seen. There isn’t much more that he can accomplish in his career. However, the fierce competitor is not yet ready to hang up his shoes. Allen is considering an NBA comeback and would like to play for a contender.

It would be absolutely nuts if Allen joined the Golden SateWarriors. Steph Curry and Klay Thompson might be the “Splash Brothers” but Allen is the original “Splash Father”. Golden State would be even deeper as a team if they had three of the best three point shooters in NBA history.
Allen has a relationship with Los Angeles Clippers head coach Doc Rivers from his time with the Boston Celtics. However, with Jamal Crawford and JJ Redick already on the team, there might not be a spot open on the roster for Allen.
The Cleveland Cavaliers would be a great fit for Allen. He’s already friends with LeBron James and, let’s face it, LeBron knows that Allen pretty much won him his second title in 2013 against the Spurs. LeBron will push the Cavaliers’ front office to sign one of the most clutch shooters of all-time.
Allen has also expressed interest in playing for the San Antonio Spurs. He would fit in well with them, coming in off the bench to give the Spurs some of those three pointers that Gregg Popovich hates so much. They could use more three point options and Allen wants another ring.
Wherever Allen goes, it’s pretty clear that he wants to play for a contender.
