There are a lot of sites (including blakely) that claim the clippers are extremely interested in Allen. That's not really much of a surprise seeing he's a better Chauncy Billups and would therefore upgrade after losing him to an achilles injury.

Thinking about it like that, I feel as though the clippers are gonna push hard for him... he'd make their team deadly. CP3, Griffin, Ray Ray draining 3s, its a nightmare..

Anyway what do you think Danny could get for him (no site reports the offers)? Rays got a 10m expiring contract. I could see them maybe throwing out pieces like Bledsoe, Gomes, maybe Randy Foye? We already have their first round pick so thats not an option

What do you guys think?

Well, Randy Foye would definitely be coming back and my guess is Ryan Gomes and a bunch of cash to buy him out would also be coming this way with a 2014 1st round pick

Something like this works for me.  

Celtics Trades Ray Allen, Rondo and Jermaine
Celtics Receive Steve Nash, Shannon Brown, Al Jefferson

Phoenix Trades Steve Nash and Shannon Brown
Phoenix Receives Eric Bledsoe and Mo Williams

Clippers Trade Mo Williams and Eric Bledsoe
Clippers Receive Ray Allen

Utah Trades Al Jefferson
Utah Receives Rondo and O'Neal


  Celtics start Nash, Brown, Pierce, Garnet and Jefferson and next season have a lot of cap room to sign players, with really just Pierce and Jefferson under contract.

I'd want Bledsoe in that deal but I think that's exactly the package we would want for Ray.

something like that would be feasible:
Bledsoe, Gomes and 2014 1st rounder (protected until 2018 if necessary).  not sure about Gomes' contract.  If it's not expiring, need cash to buy him out.  If expiring, cut Daniels and keep Gomes for the year.

Gomes is signed for this year and next at 4 mm per
