We have the Spurs, Clippers And Cavaliers all going for Ray Allen who is currently debating whether to return to the league or not. But according to CBS Sports, the Washington Wizards have joined the hunt as a significant underdog.
The Wizards would prefer to keep their 15th and final roster open but they’d quickly change gears for Ray Allen. The team contacted the 39-year-old shooting guard early in the free agent process to gauge his interest in signing, CSNwashington.com has confirmed with two people with knowledge of the situation Tuesday.
Since the initial feeler sent out by the Wizards, there hasn’t been any follow-up contact with Allen or his representation, CSNwashington.com has been told. But Tuesday, it was made clear that the Wizards will keep the door open with that 15th spot in hopes of Allen, or a veteran of his caliber and skill set, walking through it.
Now the reason why the Clippers are in with a chance is because of Doc Rivers, Washington may have Paul Pierce but I don’t think that’s enough. Personally I think it’s a two horse race between San Antonio and Cleveland with Los Angeles 3rd and Washington a definite 4th.
But again. Ray Allen might not come back at all.
