The Miami Heat have made Allen a free agent priority, but the Celtics are hoping the fact the champs can offer him just the mini-mid-level exception of $3 million and the lure of staying with Pierce and Garnett will sway him to stay. Boston Herald

Yes.

Mutual interest is there and the desire for another championship before retirement will overtake the paycut.

If Dwight joins Deron, don't be surprised if we see Allen in the backcourt too.

True. He'd be a good start on getting together some supporting guys around Dwight & Deron.

OJ Mayo, Jason Thompson, Joedan Hill and Randy Foye would also be high on their list.

I think its been around a week now since I first heard about it but never really pay attention to it. But with the Celtics preparing of losing Allen, it becomes more of a reality for him to leave KG, PP and the Celtics. I just thought that he will stay with the Celtics as long as KG is there. Unless there is some unpleasant situation happening in their locker room, then that will be understandable.

I think $ will play a large part aswell as the lure of one last shot at a ring.

As they should be, Not sure they'd be able to afford OJ or JT if they get both Dwight & Deron... But Foye & Hill would be great to round out a starting 5 of Williams, Allen, Foye, Hill & Howard

There has been some reports of Rondo and Allen not getting along, which I think is where some of the interest to leave is coming from.

Yeah, I do remember that one. Then it must be a big issue if that's the reason for him leaving.

Baron Davis, Steve Novak and JR Smith are all up at the Knicks. Jamal Crawford has already opted out.

And let's be honest, Rondo is a bit of a tool.

J.R. Has opted out of the big extension in order to sign a, rumored, 6-year contract for less money to free up cap room. But Baron & Novak would be clearing up cap space for them.

 

[gemini0928]

Looks like this years free agency will have a lot of players changing teams compare to recent years.

 

[gemini0928]

And let's be honest, Rondo is a bit of a tool.

But what can we do. I really enjoy watching him play ball.

I heard he's after more $, and he can get it! Not necessarily with the Knicks though!

Oh really? I read that he wanted to stay in New York. I hope Denver offers him the big bucks
