Tony Allen Focused On Grizzlies, Not Free Agency 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Apr 5, 2013 1:01 pm

Tony Allen, who is headed for free agency this summer, is focused on playing for the Memphis Grizzlies.


"I'm bleeding blue right now, so I haven't thought past the Grizzlies," Allen said. "I ain't thinking about free agency. I'm thinking about a championship."


Sports Illustrated recently ranked Allen as the No. 16 free agent for 2013.


"Being in the right situation, being able to fit, being a piece moving forward in a team's championship goals just being a priority," Allen said. "And obviously, putting my family in a good situation. But for the most part, I don't even think about it. I just go out there and play, play hard and let God take care of the rest."

I don't know if I have ever seen a quote from a player that says: "I'm not really too worried about the playoffs, I am just looking ahead to free agency." It really isn't news when they say the opposite.
