According to multiple league sources, there is mutual interest between Allen and the Heat. The most the Heat can offer is a contract starting at $3 million per year, which is known as the taxpayer's midlevel. Allen could get more money elsewhere, but the Heat offer an attractive portfolio that goes deeper than cash. ESPN.com
I'd LOVE to have Ray Allen replace Mike Miller (who will likely retire). That will be f**king awesome!
He would be an awesome addition. They can't fit top tier guys. But a midlevel guy like Allen who wants to win again would be great. He's probably better than Miller in some ways at 3's. Miller is always hurt and doesn't provide you anything on defense. Total liability on D. The one good side to Miller is he is tall so he can shoot over people for the 3's. But I think Allen makes up for that because he is quicker an relentless at coming off screens and trying to get open around the arc.
Allen would be an idiot not to take it. On Boston, he has to run like crazy and defend some of the better players. On Miami, he can stand around and get wide open shots and defend the opponents weakest guard.
I would love to have Allen especially if Miller retires. If Miller stays you add one more excellent 3 point shooter. Maybe one of the best historically at least. I don't know how much he has left. But he can stand around the 3 point line and bomb 3's wide open for 2 - 3 years at least I think.
Yea, I want Ray Allen on Miami regardless of the Miller situation. Allen will be a great great fit in Miami. He can REALLY stretch the defense.
Allen plus Miller would be rediculous with Lebron getting the double teams being the great passer that he is. At least Allen would offset the loss of Miller somewhat if he has to retire due to injuries. But if he can be healthy I want both next year if we can have them.
From what I've read - seems like Miller is done...at least for the next year or so. He may take a year off and then decide. Allen has his own health issues, but he should be fine by the time season starts - but Miami has to be cautious. The mini-mid-level they have is extremely valuable and they have to make sure that it counts.
I'd like Miami to somehow swing a trade for Dalembert or someone like him. Houston is looking to dump his contract...I'd trade the contracts of Mike Miller and James Jones (if they can be traded, not sure since they will retire in this scenario) and then sign Ray Allen in FA. Hopefully, both James and Miller will decide their futures very soon.
