Potential Hall-of-Famer Ray Allen has been mulling over his decision to join a team this season for a deep playoff run. Many teams at the top openly covet his services including the Cleveland Cavaliers, Golden State Warriors and Atlanta Hawks as just some of the many teams that have inquired about Allen joining their teams for the stretch run.
While earlier in the week, a source reported that Allen was seen in Cleveland, it may look like Ray might not take his talents to Ohio, or anywhere for that matter.

Among numerous NBA executives with an interest in signing free-agent guard Ray Allen, there’s a growing belief that Allen will not play in the league this season.
Allen still hasn’t delivered word through his agent Jim Tanner that he wants to play – never mind begin the process of choosing a team, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
Allen has been working out, but nothing to the level that would indicate an imminent return to get into NBA playing shape, sources tell Yahoo Sports. Still, there’s time for Allen to make a decision, but as one general manager said Friday, “It’s getting late in the game for this to happen.”
Last season with the Miami Heat, Allen played 73 games averaging 9.8 points per game. In his 18 season career, Allen averaged just about 19 points per game.
Wherever Allen lands, he’s a sure-fire future member of the Hall-of-Fame no matter where the 2-time NBA Champion plays the remainder of the 2014-15 season.
