Ray Allen recruited by contenders

LeBron James and Chris Paul are close friends, but will be at cross purposes in the coming days.

We recruit against each other for the services of Ray Allen.

Allen has not ruled out a new firm with the Boston Celtics, who have made a strong money supply, but signs point to the election of James and Paul Allen of the Miami Heat, Los Angeles Clippers.

On Thursday, the Heat will be hosting a visit to Allen in an attempt to convince him to accept less money and perhaps a minor role to join its bid to repeat as champions. Friday, Allen plans to visit the Clippers, who have more money to offer, and a clear role as the head guard.

James and Paul, the sources said, have been actively recruiting for Allen to join their respective teams. Earlier this week, Twitter a photo of James Allen wears a uniform heat. Wednesday, Dwyane Wade has posted a tweet on Thursday described as a great day for the franchise.

As with almost all the money free agents and their role are said to be high on the list of priorities for Allen. The three options are the teams that are considered candidates for the title.

The Celtics, perhaps for public relations purposes, have indicated their intent to retain Allen is two years for a total of $ 12 million.

This is two times more heat than can be offered each year by the average taxpayer level, starting at $ 3 million.

Miami, however, Allen could offer up to three years to reduce this figure by the difference in the total of cash in the middle.

The Clippers have the full mid-level exception of $ 5000000. Allen could give three years and the total value of supply current and best supply of heat Trump Celtics.

The Celtics have two commitments recently that Allen could lead elsewhere. Avery Bradley was doing a headline in the guard position in the latter stages of the season and the playoffs.

The indications are that Bradley will continue in that role this season that if Allen is back or not.

Boston also apparently reached an agreement with free agent Jason Terry the base, a player who is comfortable coming off the bench as sixth man of the year before.

The Clippers spent most of last season looking for an escort to match the rest of their initial training hard, often playing out of position there and Mo Williams is also making a trade term for Nick Young. Randy Foye was the starter for most of the season.

Allen, who turns 37 years old on July 20, could fall into this role to perfection for superior protection with a ready to fly there Paul.

To provide a place holder, or even final minutes of play as part of its line of Allen finished, the heat would have had to make some changes.

They could take many forms, but probably hard to Allen and Wade, the holder base, playing outside their normal position to start and finish games. Help, of course, that James can play wing and center Chris Bosh can play center.

In explaining how this could be considered a central factor in the heat. But making the sale for Pat Riley and his testimony is strong on these things.
