Allen remained with the Bucks midway through the [[2002–03 NBA season|2002–03 season]], when he was dealt to the [[Seattle SuperSonics]], along with [[Ronald Murray]], former [[Connecticut Huskies|UConn]] teammate [[Kevin Ollie]], and a conditional first round draft pick, in exchange for [[Gary Payton]] and [[Desmond Mason]]. It was speculated that Allen's contentious relationship with coach [[George Karl]] played a role in the Bucks' willingness to part with Allen.<ref>[https://www.jsonline.com/story/sports/columnists/gary-damato/2018/04/17/damato-ray-allen-havent-talked-george-karl-15-years/522477002/ D'Amato: Ray Allen never understood why George Karl didn't like him]</ref>

After an injury-riddled [[2003–04 NBA season|2003–04 season]], Allen was named to the [[All-NBA Second Team]] in the [[2004–05 NBA season|2004–05 season]] and, alongside teammate [[Rashard Lewis]], led the Sonics to the 2005 [[NBA Playoffs|Conference semifinals]].

In July 2005, Allen signed a five-year, $85 million contract with the SuperSonics.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.espn.com/espn/wire/_/section/nba/id/2100822|title=Agent: SuperSonics, Ray Allen agree to $85 million deal.|work=[[ESPN]]|date=July 5, 2005|access-date=August 23, 2022}}</ref>

On March 12, 2006, Allen became the 97th player in NBA history to score 15,000 points. On April 7, 2006, Allen moved into second place on the NBA's list of all-time 3-point field goals made, trailing only [[Reggie Miller]]. On April 19, 2006, Allen broke [[Dennis Scott (basketball)|Dennis Scott]]'s ten-year-old NBA record for 3-point field goals made in a season in a game against the [[Denver Nuggets]]. The record was broken by [[Stephen Curry]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.foxsports.com/nba/story/stephen-curry-breaks-single-season-record-for-3-pointers-with-272-as-golden-state-warriors-beat-portland-trail-blazers-04-041813 |title=Curry sets 3-point record in win|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130419043109/http://msn.foxsports.com/nba/story/stephen-curry-breaks-single-season-record-for-3-pointers-with-272-as-golden-state-warriors-beat-portland-trail-blazers-04|date=April 18, 2013|access-date=February 26, 2020|archive-date=April 19, 2013}}</ref>
