If Ray Allen does return to the NBA, he told the Hartford Courant that his comeback could feature a trip down memory lane – either with the team that drafted him in the Milwaukee Bucks or one of the teams he won a ring with in the Boston Celtics.

The 41-year-old said he’s already spoken with the Bucks and the Celtics.

“I would love going back to those places if it worked out, because both teams are good, too. It doesn’t necessarily have to be championship-or-bust for me to go back to the NBA,” he told the Courant. “I want to be in a situation where I thought I could help, play a little bit and help where they have good young talent.”

Allen, who spent five seasons in Boston and helped bring a championship there in 2008, last played for the Heat in 2014. He averaged 9.6 points per game and shot 37 percent from the 3-point line, three points below his career average of 40 percent.
