If I told you that no one had signed one the NBA’s premier defenders, would you believe me? That’s precisely the case with Tony Allen. After his seventh season with the Memphis Grizzlies, the Grindfather entered free agency and is still there at the time of this writing. His age could certainly be one of the reasons. However, for a team like the Brooklyn Nets, all those years of experience would be beneficial to them.
Allen turns 36 in January. Any team that signs him has to be wary of the deal they offer because Father Time is undefeated.
