Ray Allen a Bull?

I was listening to the B.S. Report and Simmons mention the Bulls wanted to add Ray Allen, or something along those lines. I remember there being some rumors going around as well about Allen and the Bulls but Boston made him an offer I guess for one more run. 

Like Simmons said Allen would be perfect along side Rose. 

Of course this would be a long shot because Ray Allen has a 2 year contract with the Celtics. The interesting part is apparently he can opt out. 

The Celtics really are starting to remind me of the 2000's Piston teams that were once really great but just stayed together too long. 

With a hint that this might be the Lakers and Celtics last stand as Phil would say could Ray Allen opt out?

Could the Bulls then afford him?

Earlier this week Sam Smith explained why the Bulls signed Pargo and Lucas 3.

Bulls add Pargo and Lucas, but why?
-- Jannero Pargo and John Lucas III? Huh? Or something like that I’ve been asked sincethe Bulls announced their signings Sunday. Actually, it’s a very clever move if it is what I think it is. I wish I would have thought of it. The Bulls are going to have a very difficult time coming out of this next labor agreement—whenever that is—of improving their roster. Their likely won’t be another mid-level exception as league records show it to be the most egregious of contracts for money versus production. And with the extension for Derrick Rose, the Bulls would be way over whatever cap figure the NBA comes up with having four eight-figure annual players in Rose, Luol Deng, Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah.

So this is what I think the Bulls did. I don’t expect either Lucas or Pargo to play, given C.J. Watson has been adequate as a point guard backup and coach Tom Thibodeau has made it clear in the non-use of Rasual Butler he is going with the guys who got the team to this point. I expect Pargo and Lucas to be inactive the rest of the season, though they are playoff eligible in case of an injury. They agreed to non-guaranteeddeals, similar to Keith Bogans’ contract, though for less money. So this is what the Bulls can do after July 1 to get a player. The thinking around the NBA is the new labor deal may force teams to shed some players like we saw in the NHL. The Bulls could build up, effectively, a $5 million form of a trade exception with the non-guaranteed contacts of Bogans, Lucas and Pargo, and if the rules remain similar, perhaps have the 125 percent so-called fudge factor in trades. The Bulls then could absorb a player making $5 million and the team giving him up could then cut the players they get back as the Bulls would likely throw in some incentive, like a draft pick. For about $5 million, you can get a quality starter and it would be just for these pieces. Otherwise, the Bulls would be in no position to add that kind of player. There’s no guarantee, obviously, but it potentially puts the Bulls in position to add a higher level talent than they would have been able to under what everyone expects the new rules to be. Not bad.

Maybe he'd be a little too rich for the Bulls blood or maybe JR pays the man because it's a legit title team and thats worth paying for as he's stated in the past.

While Ray Allen isn't the greatest defender in the NBA he's GREATEST 3 POINT SHOOTER IN HISTORY!

Besides Thibs has worked with him before. He's old but he takes great care of his body so maybe you could get two more season out of him.

Still it would probably take a small miracle but if I'm Thibs and Paxson I'm watching that situation in Boston and maybe we can help contribute to his departure in Boston by beating them in the playoffs.

Could you imagine a Bulls team with Ray Allen?

Never know.. Anything is possible!!!
