I think an underrated aspect to the sonics performance was Shard finally posting consistently in addition to the other things he provides. I know you have been advocating for a Paul Pierce trade for a while. But if we are talking about the realm of unlikely I'd rather see one of the following. Take a gamble on Eddy Curry and sign him to an offer sheet just a wee bit too rich for the Bulls' blood. Figure out a way to pry Magloire away from NO for Radman. See if the Clips are stupid enough to trade Elton Brand and Cassel for Radman and Collison and go for the gold this year. None of these are really all that likely to get us where we want to go. The only player really slightly available that would make a major difference is Ron Artest. Maybe they would give him up for Shard and Flip. I doubt it. <BR/><BR/>I say we at least sign Radman and see where we can go with this team with him playing for a contract.<BR/><BR/>CarlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-1126679906963493532005-09-13T23:38:00.000-07:002005-09-13T23:38:00.000-07:00Okay, in regards to the Seattle Supersonics, Gener...Okay, in regards to the Seattle Supersonics, General Manager Rick Sund should renounce the team's rights to both power forward Reggie Evans and shooting guard Ronald Murray.<BR/><BR/>As it concerns small forward Vladimir Radmanovic, however, Sund ought to sign-&-trade him.<BR/><BR/>At this point in time, as it is, the club needs a true superstar at small forward; thus, a trade between Seattle and Boston, wherein the Supersonics send Radmanovic (approx. $7,000,000) and small foward Rashard Lewis ($8,571,429) to the Celtics for small forward Paul Pierce ($13,843,157), would be a good move for both franchises.<BR/><BR/>In any case, though, the abovementioned trade proposal would most likely be refused by the the front office executives (e.g., Ex. Dir. of B-ball Op. Danny Ainge) within the Boston Celtics organization.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-1126655967899359772005-09-13T16:59:00.000-07:002005-09-13T16:59:00.000-07:00Unpopular post for the summer:dump Flipdump Reggie...Unpopular post for the summer:<BR/>dump Flip<BR/>dump Reggie<BR/>trade Lewis<BR/>sign RadmanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-1126355857387424592005-09-10T05:37:00.000-07:002005-09-10T05:37:00.000-07:00Just got to drop this: Radmonovich has moments whe...Just got to drop this: Radmonovich has moments when he is sick, straight up strong to the whole, dropping threes like crazy... you've see it.

Seems to me a Ridnour/Allen/Lewis/Evans/Magloire starting lineup with Collison, Fortson, The Omen, Potman and Swift coming off the bench doesn't sound too bad to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-1126316344117436302005-09-09T18:39:00.000-07:002005-09-09T18:39:00.000-07:00And now onto the real subject.

We have a three-year window with this team as a semi-contender. The chips fall right and we could concievably win. Who are we going to get that gives us a better shot while Ray's still got gas in the tank? What free-agent better than Vlade is going to pick to play on the Sonics? I don't think I've ever seen a marquee free agent sign with the sonics. I think we have enough leverage to get him to sign a reasonable long-term deal - and we can trade him if someone becomes available who is a better fit. I don't see how we possibly get better without inking the radman.<BR/><BR/>CarlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-1126315649129047262005-09-09T18:27:00.000-07:002005-09-09T18:27:00.000-07:00Oooh....you touch my tra-la-la.Pete: You are funny...Oooh....you touch my tra-la-la.<BR/><BR/>Pete: You are funny!<BR/><BR/>CarlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-1126302428565935542005-09-09T14:47:00.000-07:002005-09-09T14:47:00.000-07:00oops, on that last post I meant to say "Radman is ...oops, on that last post I meant to say "Radman is not irreplaceable", not "replaceable"..He is not the end all be all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-1126302319257424862005-09-09T14:45:00.000-07:002005-09-09T14:45:00.000-07:00I agree.

If that is so, it makes sense to not overpay (when you think of Rad with a big contract, you will basically have Keith Van Horn). Don't do it. Let him have the 1 year deal and let him walk. Nick is the future of the PF position, Rashard is the SF. We should always be able to find someone tall who can shoot and play the 3/4 positions. Indiana would love to trade us Ausin Croshere, Dallas would move Keith Van Horn. Radman is not replaceable. He is a nice player for the right price. In fact, I will go farther and say that the team would benefit more with a player like Donyell Marshall playing minutes at the 4. He plays defense and rebounds.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
