Ray Allen scored 26.4 ppg last year.

He also had ankle surgery in April. Anyone know how serious the operation was and will he be ready to start the season?

32 years old + ankle surgery makes me very nervous. Last time Danny traded for a guy with an injury (Lafrenze) he couldn't play.

Someone in this thread said Seattle wanted Rondo, but they settled for West. And Seattle wanted the Ratcliffe contract but they settled for Szerbiak. Seems like Seattle was pretty desparate to get Allen out of town. Hope they don't know something we don't know about his condition.

ps. Have the Celtics doctors examined Allen or will they and is the trade contingent upon him passing a physical. Huge gamble if it is not.
