Allen may be the sweetest shooter who has ever laced up a pair of sneakers in the NBA.
The question is however, whether the 39-year-old wants to put them on again for a 20th season?.
Ray Allen is still unsure if he'll play next year. Teams interested but he may retire to be with family. Same reason he told me no coaching.

It makes no sense for him to go to any team that isn’t in the running for a championship run, where he’s still that perfect designated shooter off the bench.
Enter the situation in Cleveland.
His former teammate is running the show now in Northeast Ohio, and former Miami Heat players Mike Miller and James Jones have already signed. Meanwhile the Kevin Love trade rumors are still running ramped.
While Allen is a 10-time All-Star and a lock for the Hall-of-Fame, the thought of winning a third ring is obviously enticing.
