If Allen and Miami are still talking, it has to be buying time while they try to figure out a sign and trade to get him more money. Not sure Danny will want to help make this happen but in the end, he would probably rather take something back than get nothing.
Chalmbers @ $4M could get Ray up to about $5M and even though we really don't need a $4 combo gaurd, he does have value. For example, if Bradley misses a couple of months, MC is a perfect fill-in, then we trade him during the season to replace whoever is injured at the time.
I think I could actually live with this. I wonder if there is any chance that this is actually a possibility.
