I mean, the only problem with Ray is that he's gonna want minutes, and id rather have JR out there for his offense (b/c he is always capable of going for 30) or Shumpert out there for his perimeter D. I dont see where he fits.
He's basically washed at this point other than his reputation for hitting big 3s.
I feel like LeBron is only hell bent on getting him because he trusts him in the playoffs. I feel like LeBron selfishly wants Ray because he knows he will get the spacing on the court with him no matter what when it's closing time.
I don't know if he trusts Love or JR in those moments. I can easily see Love shrinking in those moments. I get that.
But in 2015, Ray Allen = Mike Miller = James Jones. No need to have all 3 when you've already got another corpse in Haywood rotting on the bench.
I just feel that the need for another big and another PG should trump that.
If Ray signs they'll probably move Shumpert to back-up SF. This is probably what the playoff rotation would look like. Not enough depth IMO.
Irving
Smith/Allen
James/Shumpert
Love/Thompson/Marion
