Ray Allen: Miami Or Boston?
Heat fans will have to keep waiting as Ray Allen left his meeting with the Miami Heat on Thursday night without giving them an answer on their contract offer.
The Heat offered Allen their mid-level exception, which starts at $3.09 million per season– or half of the Celtics’ offer of $6 million per year over two years. The most the Heat could offer is three years and $9.5 million.
The sources did not go into specifics, saying Allen is torn because remaining a Celtic is still very much an option.
Meanwhile, a third team — the Minnesota Timberwolves — has not been ruled out as an alternative for Allen, though he isn’t at the top of the Wolves’ wish list at the moment, sources tell ESPN The Magazine’s Ric Bucher.
Meanwhile, according to reports, the Heat will meet with free agents Rashard Lewis and Marcus Camby over the weekend.
