In a blockbuster five-player deal Thursday at the NBA trading deadline, Ray Allen was sent from the Milwaukee Bucks to the Seattle SuperSonics for Gary Payton and Desmond Mason.

The Sonics also received guards Kevin Ollie and Ronald Murray and a conditional first-round draft pick.

The trade ended Payton’s career in Seattle after 121/2 seasons and reunited him with coach George Karl.

The Bucks play the Sonics tonight, but neither Payton nor the four others in the trade will play.

Allen, a six-year veteran and three-time All-Star, has spent his entire career with the Bucks.

Seattle also made a trade with the New Orleans Hornets, exchanging point guard Kenny Anderson for center Elden Campbell.
