I'll take Lewis too T. Ray Allen and Rondo have had numerous issues, which hasn't been a secret. From a lot of the whispers I've heard, which you can take with a grain of salt, Allen doesn't want to play with Rondo anymore. I think he's as good as gone and $$$ won't be a factor. In the end I think he takes the 3 mill a year we are offering. I wouldn't feel as confident if Boston didn't sign Jason Terry but now that Terry is a Celtic, this only helps us. He's a gonner IMO.

Earlier today Doc Rivers, who was previously confident that Allen was coming back to Boston , has now said that he is not sure what Allen is going to do and doesn't have a good feel for the situation. I also anticipate that Wade and LBJ will put on the full court press when Allen visits Miami on Thursday.

On a side note, look at what has happened to Dallas . Mark Cuban cut ties with many players at the beginning of the year to create cap space because they were sure they were going to get Deron Williams. Williams just committed to the Nets.
