The Heat have made retaining Ray Allen their initial offseason priority. Allen has a $3.229 million player option for the 2013-14 season. He has until Sunday to decide whether he'll pick it up. "We think the ultimate recruiting pitch is what we just did," coach Erik Spoelstra said. "But we won't take that for granted. There will certainly be communication between us and Ray. He was such an important piece of what we did."
