Ray Allen has been involved in many trade talks and we were almost certain Danny Ainge would deal him before the trade deadline. Â He ended up remaining with the team but of course there’s some love lost with the Celtics management. Â It sounds like Allen is ready to move on, read more after the jump.
He wants better security than another one-year deal. He’s tired of sweating out trade deadlines.
“I wouldn’t be surprised,†he said of the scenario. “But I don’t want to go into this season, like I have in past seasons, worrying about whether I was going to be traded or not. At this point we want to ride it out, take this thing to the house, and not have the instability of not knowing whether today or tomorrow something is going to happen.

“It’s hard to say,†Allen said of whether he remains a Celtic. “The landscape always changes over the summer. Just from what I see around the NBA, there’s a lot of teams that look forward to having me. I just want to be somewhere where I’m valued, cherished and I can go out and play.”
