Despite the latest claims indicating he would choose a team after the All-Star break, free agent Ray Allen reportedly remains undecided about whether he will return to the NBA. If the veteran does decide to return for his 19th season, his list of suitors is said to include the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Miami Heat, the Los Angeles Clippers and the Chicago Bulls.
Contrary to reports that Allen would choose a team in February, ESPN's Chris Broussard reported Allen's agent as saying the 39-year-old guard is still undecided about whether he wants to play again.
"Ray Allen's agent Jim Tanner just told me Ray still undecided on whether to play this year, nor has he narrowed his list of potential teams," Broussard tweeted Tuesday. "... Tanner also says no guarantee Ray Allen makes decision within 10 days of All-Star Weekend."
ESPN's Ryen Russillo reported in December Allen would begin fielding calls in January and pick a team by February, and a recent report from Fox Sports' Sam Amico on Sunday narrowed that down to happening within the next 10 days and named Cleveland as the frontrunners to sign him.
"Teams led to believe Ray Allen to decide where he'll play in next 10 days," Amico tweeted Sunday. "Allen concerned with Cavs when LeBron visited, but not anymore."
James reportedly visited Allen in early January in Miami, where he supposedly pitched Allen about signing with the Cavaliers. Cleveland, however, was in a losing rut and likely didn't look appealing to Allen. Between then and now, though, Cleveland has managed to turn things around and has won 13 of their last 14 games.
Other teams reportedly interested in Allen include: the Heat, the Clippers, the Bulls, the San Antonio Spurs, the Washington Wizards and the Atlanta Hawks.
UPDATE:
Windhorst: The #Cavs do feel that if Ray Allen comes back, they can get him to Cleveland. Lebron and Mike Miller have been talking to him.
