Tony Allen started this year essentially as an afterthought. Then he seemingly accepted who he is and he became a solid contributor. Now, he's in demand.
According to HoopsWorld (scroll down), at least 4 teams are pursuing him.
Tony Allen has received interest
from many teams in the first day of free agency. Last night, several
teams looking for a defensive stopper made calls inquiring about Allen
and it's clear there are teams ready to bid for his services.
The Los Angeles Lakers, New Jersey Nets, Miami Heat, and Chicago
Bulls are among the teams that expressed interest in the guard. Most
teams are waiting for the top tier free agents to make decisions before
pursuing others but Allen will have a list of potential suitors when
that time comes. Allen's impressive track record in the postseason and
lockdown perimeter defense has many teams interested in his services.
I know I keep saying this… but the way money is being thrown around, we're even going to get priced out of the Tony Allen sweepstakes. Owners are throwing money around like drunken crab fishermen on pay day… Tony is going to get an offer somewhere else he can't refuse.
Sorry, I was watching Deadliest Catch last night… hence the crab fishermen analogy.
