Ray Allen could still return to the Celtics, but is also being courted by the Heat and Clippers, and it sounds like the Clippers may have the best shot at landing him. With Wade commanding nearly all the minutes at shooting guard in Miami, Allen's role would be somewhat minor, while the Heat are also not in a position to offer Allen as much as the Clippers. Allen could potentially start at SG for the Clips, play with Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, and make more money in L.A. than he would in Miami or Boston. He's meeting with the Heat on Thursday and the Clippers on Friday, but we'd be surprised if he doesn't end up choosing the Clippers (and money) over the Celtics and Heat.
