Ray Allen has not retired, although he hasn’t shown a strong interest in seeking out a spot on a team either. It’s not that multiple team don’t want him, they do! He is the one playing a bit of a cat and mouse game. The strongest and most sensible move we keep hearing may happen is Ray linking back up with Lebron in Cleveland. Now a new story claims he may link back up with an old teammate, but Paul Pierce instead.

As the Washington Wizards vie for the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, Allen would be a “natural” fit to back up starting shooting guard Bradley Beal, CSN Washington’s J. Michael reported Friday. Although Allen is said to be considering retirement, the NBA’s all-time 3-point king “is not out of the picture,” according to Michael.
“Until Allen says, ‘I’m retired’ or ‘No, thanks,’ the Wizards will continue to chase him,” Michael writes. “The reason: Even though they have shooters in Martell Webster and Rasual Butler coming off the bench, they’re natural small forwards. Allen is a natural to back up … Beal.”
