The Golden State Warriors recently made a push to sign free agent Ray Allen, but the 39-year-old veteran reportedly still has the Cleveland Cavaliers as his No. 1 choice.  Allen, who hasn't committed to returning for his 19th season, is expected to make his choice sometime in February.

Golden State is the latest to toss their name into the Ray Allen sweepstakes.  In need of a 2-guard to provide scoring off the bench, the Warriors reached out to Allen's people.  The Warriors have the best record in the league and look like a championship contender, but Tim Kawakami of the Mercury News believes Allen will still most likely end up in Cleveland.

Per Kawakami:

"... (The) Warriors have put feelers out for free agent Ray Allen, but have so far gotten no indications that he's ready to sign with the Warriors.  Allen would obviously not be a defensive force, but can you imagine closing a game with Curry, Thompson and Allen on the floor at the same time? I know the Warriors can and have.

"Plus Allen could at least give the Warriors 10 minutes a game at the SG alongside Livingston, and you know he'd space the floor. But again, Allen has given no indication that he's interested in joining the Warriors-it still sounds like Cleveland is his first option if he comes back."

Most people believe Allen will rejoin ex-Miami Heat teammates LeBron James and Mike Miller in Cleveland, and ESPN's Ryen Russillo believes it will happen in February.

"Hearing Ray Allen is telling teams 'talk to me in January," Russillo tweeted Dec. 5, "(he) will make a decision in February.  Cavs still the favorite."

Other teams believed to be pursuing Allen are the San Antonio Spurs, the Los Angeles Clippers, the Chicago Bulls and the Washington Wizards.
