Ray Allen is still deciding between retirement and playing another season in the NBA. In the meantime, multiple teams are showing interest in Allen, most recent being the Chicago Bulls. The Bulls have already added big name power forward, Pau Gasol, to their roster and want to shore up their backcourt with Allen.
Allen spent the last two NBA seasons with the Miami Heat. Aside from the Bulls, the Cleveland Cavaliers, Los Angeles Clippers, Washington Wizards, and San Antonio Spurs have all reportedly shown interest in Allen. The 18-year veteran has some mutual bonding with Tom Thibodeau, dating back to their days in Boston when they won a championship together along with head coach Doc Rivers.
Allen, 39, figures to play backup to Jimmy Butler and Mike Dunleavy, if he was to sign with Chicago. Allen could definitely serve as a mentor for some of the young guys on the Bulls, such as Doug McDermott, Jimmy Butler, Taj Gibson, and even Derrick Rose.
Last season, Ray Allen averaged 9.6 points per game while shooting 37 percent from three-point range.
