Sources: TWolves are the heretofore unnamed dark-horse team in the Ray Allen Sweepstakes. Dark, though, as in jet-black. — Ric Bucher (@RicBucher) July 6, 2012 I don’t know about this one.  I know Bucher significantly couches this, but even if Minnesota wasn’t tied up in restricted free agent offer sheets, what are the odds that [...]

We have another winner. Ray Allen’s sharp Air Jordan XII MLK Day p.e. Jesus’ kicks beat out KG’s equally cool, but not as popular, Anta KG2 Xmas p.e. The AJ XII got 65% of your votes to move on to the next round. Here are the next two seeds.. 4) Ray Allen AJ XIII away [...]

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. Miami, already sexy enough as a destination, is the supermodel asking Allen to run away with her. Boston is the old ball-and-chain. Oh sure, the Celtics have [...]

Earlier today, I casually mentioned that a lot of the hypothetical numbers we’ve been throwing around hinge on assumed numbers.  We all assumed Jeff Green’s contract would be somewhere in the $9 million neighborhood.  Well, it’s sort of in that neighborhood. According to Jeff Green’s agent: One source with knowledge of the talks says it [...]

Ray Allen’s options have just dwindled after the Los Angeles Clippers signed Jamal Crawford and Chauncey Billups.  The Clippers were informed on Thursday that guards Jamal Crawford and Chauncey Billups intend to sign contracts with the team when the NBA’s moratorium period is lifted for free agents to sign deals, according to NBA executives who were not authorized to speak publicly on the [...]

Because we’re all waiting on pins and needles for Ray to make a decision.  Here’s the latest speculation. Allen hasn’t ruled out re-signing with the Boston Celtics, who have made him a strong monetary offer, but signs are pointing to Allen choosing between James’ Miami Heat and Paul’s Los Angeles Clippers. On Thursday, the Heat will host Allen for [...]

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. Boston Celtics free-agent guard Ray Allen is scheduled to visit South Florida Thursday, with the Heat among five finalists for the veteran 3-point shooting specialist, who also has attracted interest [...]

LeBron James doesn’t like the Celtics.  He basically said so in a tweet after Jared Sullinger was drafted. In another tweet that same night he said: While watching the draft my son Bryce ask “Is Ray Allen gonna play for Heat”. I said “I don’t know, I hope so”. The possibility of Ray joining Miami [...]

Remember that Greg Stiemsma is a restricted free-agent. The Celtics will have the opportunity to match any offer. Despite a talented roster that includes Kevin Love, Derrick Williams and Ricky Rubio, the Wolves are a bit thin at center. FYI – Jerry Zgoda is the Wolves beat reporter for the Star Tribune. [...]

In a complete blowout, Ray’s Air Jordan VIII beat out Sasha’s Hyperdunks by 76 votes. The AJ VIII’s move on to the next round as expected. Next up, another one of Ray’s sweet p.e.’s goes against The Big Ticket and his XMas-themed Antas: [...]
