While the Celtics have spent the past few weeks exploring their trade

Knicks, probably in exchange for Eddie House and J.R. Giddens. But
Celtics president Danny Ainge called the potential for an Allen trade
“highly unlikely.”
It's simple. The Celtics never got an offer that blew them away. We've seen Ray struggle before and there's a pretty good chance he's going to snap out of this funk. I hope.
