Thursday, February 9

Look at all these rumors

You know writers are desparate when they start cooking up stuff like this:

"... Some have speculated that the Seattle SuperSonics may want to move Ray Allen because of their financial issues ..." (Philly Inquirer)

Yeah, that'll happen all right. I'm sure the Sonics are really interested in trading their only legitimate star for a group of 3rd-tier players while in the midst of grabbing some dough for their new and improved stadium.

By the way, the Sonics lost again last night to the mighty Hornets. Did I mention that the Hornets' first two point guards were on the sidelines with injuries for most of the game? And that David West and PJ Brown combined for 47 points? Oh, and Kirk Snyder went for 16 points and 12 helpers?

Ugh.

    I really thought things were going to get better for a while there. Now the wheels have come off and the fat lady is singing. How bad does a team have to play before they just stop making them play games?

    Ray Allen is the only player on the Seattle Supersonics who should not be traded under any circumstance; Allen is a franchise player.

    How about Flip for George Karl & a pack of Cheetos?

    Hell, at this point, I'd take Flip for the Cheetos alone.

    I was all for getting Maggette last season, but with his recent injury, combined with the fact he and Rashard couldn't be on the court at the same time (unless Maggette plays SG, in which case, where does Sugar Ray play?).

    Unfortunately, the Sonics are now wedded to Ray Allen for the next 5 years. I hate to say I told you so, ...

    Who takes Stephen A. Smith seriously?

    If Seattle Supersonics GM Rick Sund can pry small forward Luol Deng from the Chicago Bulls, then acquiring him, Thomas, a 2006 NBA first-round draft pick, and a 2006 NBA first-round draft pick [via the New York Knicks] for Rashard Lewis and Danny Fortson would be a good trade.

    We don't miss a beat without Lewis. Trade him before it's too late.

    I know Damien's had a fine couple of games, but I'd like to see him produce for a couple of months before I'm sold on him as a starter.

    Lest we forget, Flip Murray looked awfully good two years ago when Ray went down. And we all know how that's turned out.

    Yeah, Damien Wilkins is not starter material; however, he's a decent backup. Yet, with that noted, Rashard Lewis still needs to be traded elsewhere.

    Can the other Wilkins please take this team over. Lenny.
