The Celtics are still interested in bringing back Allen, and are set to offer him a two-year, $12 million deal. That is more than Miami can offer the 16-year-veteran their mini-mid level exception, worth up to $3 million annually for three years.
The Memphis Grizzlies and Minnesota Timberwolves have also shown interest in Allen.
