    And now the gang really is back together - most of them, anyway.

    The Boston Celtics added the final piece of the Big Three reunion tour by coming to terms on a new deal for Ray Allen.

    It is a two-year deal worth $20 million, with the second year a player option.

    Allen's deal comes less than a week after the Celtics came to terms on a four-year, $61 million deal with Paul Pierce.

    The C's have been negotiating with Allen as soon as the free agency period began, hoping to secure Allen, who will be 35 later this month, for what Celtic coach Doc Rivers believes will be another strong run toward Banner No. 18.

    "Ray's in a terrific atmosphere here," Rivers told CSNNE.com earlier this week. "I don't think you can get a better atmosphere that he's in with our group."
