And I realized that some ten minutes ag...I'm drunk. And I realized that some ten minutes ago when I came up with this: <BR/><BR/>(remember... it's not cool to judge...)<BR/><BR/>The Sonics wasted that 31st pick. Why in the f*** would they do that?Didn't they have room for another young player in their roster...? Of course they f*****' did! Not for both second round picks (and that's why Presti didn't mind givin' up the 35th), but they sure could use another guard. Or better yet: they NEED one. But still, they drafted some 6'7 PF who almost anyone with half a brain predicted to go undrafted... We drafted Carl Landry. Carl f*****' Landry! With the 31st pick in one of the deepest drafts ever, when we seemed to be in desperate need for a guard! Then, when things couldn't possibly seem more bizarre, we traded this guy for CASH to the Rockets! This got me to thinkin', man...<BR/><BR/>An here's what I think the next move will be:<BR/><BR/>Rashard Lewis cried when the Rockets didn't select him with one of their 3(!) 1st round picks back in 98. His family still lives there, right? He's still very popular in Houston, am I right? He would make a lot of sense in that team, right...? There's been rumours about a trade between SEA and HOU, but I'm thinkin' everyone is wrong about who's involved: I think it's Rashard.<BR/><BR/>BUT NOT FOR BATTIER.<BR/><BR/>After tonight's draft, why the hell would we want Battier for? Sure, I like him, whe's great, but if there's one thing we don't need is another SF. In fact, we just might have to get rid of one! And I really think it'll be 'Shard.<BR/><BR/>But, what does Carl Landry have to do with this? Well, the Rockets just traded Juwan Howard, and used their only draft pick to select Aaron Brooks. They need size, probably another PF. And they wanted Landry... but didn't have a second round pick to get Landry. And here is where it all starts makin' sense...<BR/><BR/>The Sonics wouldn't really mind that much to see Rashard go - the Rockets would more than welcome him. They probably offered us Battier, and some other crippled dude to make the trade work, but Presti (the name, people!!! Presti. Presti... PRESTI - this dude is probably Vito Corleone's godson!), decided to make them an offer they couldn't refuse:<BR/><BR/>"The Sonics will give you Rashard... and Wilcox, 'cause you're probably be needing a PF. Even if it is Wilcox, he'll be a good fit for your roster. Plus, we'll do you the favor of picking for you in the second round. Just tell us who do you want and you'll get it for... let's call it cash considerations. As this is a great favor we'll do you, we'll be expecting somethin' back..."<BR/><BR/>And that something, as you all have figured out by now IS TRACY MCGRADY! TRACY F*****' MCGRADY!!!<BR/><BR/>Did you really buy that "5 SF's starting lineup" s***? Did you really believe we'd have a roster without a true SG... without a veteran star to guide our young studs??? C'mon...! Didn't it seem suspicious to you lettin' Ray go like that? For THAT? Oh, Presti, you clever f***! You almost had me goin' for a while!<BR/><BR/>Check it out: with Houston throwin' in some other dude with a small contract, it'll work! They're probably just waitin' to sign Rashard to make it official. Plus, it wouldn't be cool for Ray to announce another trade, especially a blockbuster like this in the same day. The man deserves not having to share the headlines...<BR/><BR/>Oh, man, am I excited!!!<BR/><BR/>Tracy McGrady... Who would have thought???<BR/><BR/>We can keep Ridnour and that 3 headed monster for all I care now...

What if his skinny butt gets knocked around and he gets injured? He could easily go from a POTENTIALLY great player to a mediocre one after rehabbing a torn ACL. I F-N hope that this kid does come out to Rip and Destroy - but all the years logged as a Sonics fan have conditioned me to reserve judgment until I see the guy actually play some NBA games. There have been many highly touted draftee’s who end up sucking on the teat of mediocrity.<BR/><BR/>You can’t assume that the new kids are going to be the answer. Each year I watch on draft day as the talking heads talk about how great the player(s) is/are going to be. Guess what? Over time, very, very few players reach consistent levels of excellence. Trading a known commodity for promise does occasionally work, but there is more luck than science involved.<BR/><BR/>These trades may eventually work out in the Sonics favor, but they definitely help Bennett's underlying agenda to both rebuild and relocate. That is a hard pill to swallow and an even harder sell to ticket buyers without the face of the franchise.<BR/><BR/>As a Ray fan, I will miss the extreme professionalism and class he brings (er brought) to the club. As much as I like a vicious dunk, I am just as amazed seeing Ray come off a screen and rip a 3 to win a game. Unlike most NBA players, I was glad to pay to see Ray perform. Should he have been traded? Yes, but mid-season to a contender would have yielded more value than Green and a handful of beans.<BR/><BR/>I've been such a loyal Sonics fan over the years; I just hate to see what is happening here. It is the culmination of Wally Walker and Howard Schultz’s legacy that led us to this sorry fate. I wish I had a spare couple hundred million handy to bail us out of this situation.<BR/><BR/>I only hope next year will be a Calabro/Johnson or Calabro/Bones Barry team for telecasts.haizman_brainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17611495683130679836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-61775326053633667812007-06-28T23:55:00.000-07:002007-06-28T23:55:00.000-07:00It's interesting to contrast a lot of the opinions...It's interesting to contrast a lot of the opinions on here with what seems to be the general consensus from the media and bloggers -- that Presti made a smart move to change a franchise that wasn't going anywhere (i'm talking about the Ray trade).<BR/><BR/>It's hard for us to let go of Ray -- he's an awesome talent and a great guy. Let's all wish him best of luck. This is an inept analogy, but the Mariners did much better after losing their "best" players - ARod, Griffy, Johnson. This certainly doesn't translate, but building around Durant makes sense. I'll be curious how Presti describes what positions they will play....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-82467436347794431262007-06-28T23:49:00.000-07:002007-06-28T23:49:00.000-07:00Couple comments:Ryan - I know you post a lot on th...Couple comments:<BR/><BR/>Ryan - I know you post a lot on this blog, but you gotta stop with this crap of Lewis, Ray and Durant as a playoff team. I wouldn't work, because Ray is a selfish, me first shooter who needs 15 to 25 shots a game, this directly effected Rashard in the season that he would wait to see what ray would do rather than demand the ball and be assertive. Add Durant, what we know of him is that he's an assertive player and you got a disaster on our hands. <BR/><BR/>Plus, Lewis is going to command about 12 to 15 million per season and with his personality would most likely be the 3rd option. If you look at Golden State (the 8th and the team I have season tickets to) they had the same problem with J-Rich. They're paying him like the #1 go to guy (10 million esscalating to 15 million a year over the next 4 seasons) when in fact after the Harrington/Jackson deal he was really #3 or #4 option on offense. So they move him to the Bobcats in a cash dump for Wright and now they can focus on their core. <BR/><BR/>Now, look at the Sonics. They've freed up the last season from Ray's contract. They get an adequate offensive replacement for him in Wally (I agree with Ryan, that Wally is no Ray, but he is one of the league best percentage shooters for a guard when healthy). They get West would is a good defender and can also play the 2 and be our 4th quarter PG to play defense for Ridnour.<BR/><BR/>As I said before. Lewis is gone and we're going to have to do a S/T unless he want to sign for 7 or 8 million as a mid-level exemption with someone. Seeing as he was set to make 10 million if he opted out it's almost a certainty that he'll be moved via S/T.mcwalter44https://www.blogger.com/profile/05565716498050495890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-79620372454899759002007-06-28T23:42:00.000-07:002007-06-28T23:42:00.000-07:00A little scouting report from Boston for you guys:...A little scouting report from Boston for you guys:<BR/><BR/>Delonte West:<BR/><BR/>- does a lot of things decently, none great.<BR/>- plays like his right hand is chopped off. you will marvel at some of the creative ways he attempts every layup with his left hand.<BR/>- likes his women older and crazy.<BR/>- hustles and dives all over the floor.<BR/>- seems like the type of guy that might smoke a lot of youknowwhat, but in a friendly (he'd share) non-thugish way.<BR/>- very unique personality. he will make great sonic promos and commercials.<BR/>- will be a Sonic fan favorite and missed by Celtic fans.<BR/><BR/>Wally World:<BR/><BR/>- handsome guy!<BR/>- sweet jumper.<BR/>- on second thought, it's more of a set shot now.<BR/>- while he's healthy, will infuriate you when he tries to 'takeover' the game and back people down.<BR/>- you won't have to be mad for long though, his body is falling apart and he will be broken within the first couple of months.<BR/>- will be a favorite of the ladies in the crowd as he sits on the bench in his stylish suits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-20026798228511422472007-06-28T23:40:00.000-07:002007-06-28T23:40:00.000-07:00The problem is not that they traded Allen for the ...The problem is not that they traded Allen for the right to select Green. The problem is not Green's talent. The problem is that they could have used that #5 pick to address two HUGE voids: SG (now that there is no Allen) or PF/C. If the Sonics take Corey Brewer, then Seatle fans could go to sleep like a baby. Imagine the combination of length, offense, defense, solid attitude, and complimentary positions. Brewer and Durrant would be amazing for years to come and compliment each other on both ends. Green plays the same position as Durrant and they are both better offensively than defensively. HUGE mistake to not take Brewer. If not Brewer, then Noah. If not Noah, then Brandon Wright.

The West is loaded and the only team that looks to have regressed is the Lakers. The Blazers are LOADED now. Oden, Roy, and whatever combo they want is gonna get a couple of rings. The Sonics have to better than an 8 seed or a little better, they need to rebuild around Durant and hope that Green is the guy that most of us think he is. If Bennett is gonna move the team it will really suck, but to attribute ever action the team takes to Evil Bennett Theories is ridiculous. Presti wants a more defensive mentality on this team, and Ray is the exact opposite of that. And, again, Delonte is gonna be good, he can play both ends of the floor, hit the perimiter shot, and is tough. A line up of Delonte, ?, Green, Durant, and Swift or Wilcox would at least be interesting to waych.

Nice work Presti, and thanks for making the last team in Seattle a 20-62 piece of crap. I can see why you were so highly regarded...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-40998323920952848172007-06-28T22:59:00.000-07:002007-06-28T22:59:00.000-07:00"Blazer happy":(just take a moment to reflect on t..."Blazer happy":<BR/><BR/>(just take a moment to reflect on their roster)<BR/><BR/>C<BR/> - Oden<BR/> - Aldridge<BR/> - Pryzbilla<BR/> - Magloire<BR/>PF<BR/> - Frye<BR/> - McRoberts<BR/> - Lafrentz<BR/>SF<BR/> - Nichols<BR/> - Outlaw<BR/> - Webster<BR/> - Miles<BR/>SG<BR/> - Roy<BR/> - Udoka<BR/> - Fernandez<BR/>PG<BR/> - Francis<BR/> - Jack<BR/> - Rodriguez<BR/> - Koponen<BR/> - Green<BR/><BR/>Of course, they have to get rid of some of the "stuff" here (maybe starting by sending Darius Miles to the D-League whould be such a bad idea...), but, overall, they were the winners in this year's draft.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-36630673806865398322007-06-28T22:52:00.000-07:002007-06-28T22:52:00.000-07:00I agree with Chad Ford's assesment, but in a few y...I agree with Chad Ford's assesment, but in a few years Tim Duncan will be on the wrong side of 30 and he won't be traded soon. Same goes for Garnett now and Kobe in a few years.HerseyChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803578850842593116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7758702.post-19538634962395981022007-06-28T22:47:00.001-07:002007-06-28T22:47:00.001-07:00For what it's worth, Chad Ford's analysis of the R...For what it's worth, Chad Ford's analysis of the Ray Ray trade:<BR/><BR/>"[Jeff] Green has been one of the hottest names in the draft the past few weeks. Some scouts say he has a chance to be a Scottie Pippen-like player in the pros. He's a great passer and very versatile. He may be the perfect wingman for Kevin Durant."<BR/><BR/>It's always upsetting to lose your star player, but I think Sonic fans need to embrace the fact that our new GM seems to have a plan and a vision for this team, and it started today with this trade. Ray Allen wasn't gonna lead Seattle to a title within the next three seasons, and considering he's on the wrong side of 30, that situation wasn't gonna improve.<BR/><BR/>The way I see it, if we're not gonna contend for a title the next few seasons, we might as well start rebuilding toward that goal now, rather than sit through another pointless 30-40 win season in which Ray Allen gets a few minor accolades, i.e. all-star recognition.<BR/><BR/>The more I think about it, the more I like the trade, especially the reasons behind it.Random-osityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00585934625268953060noreply@blogger.com
