I don't see Allen in any kind of decline now. He's averaging a career high ppg right now, and his percentages have stayed the same (44% FG, 39% 3pt, 90% FT). He rebounds decently for a guard and is also capable of getting some assists. Sure he's getting older, but at 30, he's still got 2-3 years of top level productivity left, and in the last couple of years he's been pretty healthy. And with the exception of our Allan Houston, we've seen pure shooters last VERY long in this league. A consistent shooter and no.1 scoring option would definitely help this team.
Problem is that with our luck, the second game after Allen is on the court for us, he blows out a knee and is finished.
I'm just saying its our luck of late for stuff like that to happen.
Start growing our own young talent.
