We're Number #15!

"Check out all the rings Jordan and Duncan got me!"

According to Steve Kerr's column at Yahoo! Sports, the Supersonics (or, SuperSonics as he calls them) are going to finish last in the West. Worse than the Clippers. Worse than the Warriors. Worse than every one of the fourteen other teams in the Western Division.

The article confirms one thing for sure: Steve Kerr is a dumb-ass.

Kerr isn't alone in his dumb-assedness, though. ESPN has the Supes ranked next-to-last in the NBA. Yes, that means worse than the WIZARDS!

Obviously, these "experts" haven't heard of a fellow named Ibrahim Kutluay. Ibby is going to carry this team to at least tenth place in the west, so watch out Bobcats!

Wheedle Vs. Squatch: DEATHMATCH!

Since the dawn of time (or at least the dawn of the Sonics), two forces, one good and one evil, have battled for the heart and soul of Seattle Supersonic fans.

Now, their day of reckoning has come.

It is up to you, the loyal fans, to decide who lives and who DIES:

WHEEDLE VS. SQUATCH!

Two mascots enter. One mascot leaves. You decide.

Who will be the one, true, mascot of the Seattle Supersonics?

Update: The polls have finally closed. Squatch won, 40-33. The Wheedle is dead. Are you happy NOW, you heartless bastards?! THE WHEEDLE IS DEAD!!!

It's Official: Sonics Sign Ibrahim Kutluay

Breaking news:

SEATTLE (AP) -- The Seattle Supersonics signed 30-year-old Turkish guard Ibrahim Kutluay on Wednesday.

The 6-foot-6 Kutluay is expected to help fill the void left by free agent Brent Barry, who signed with San Antonio.

Kutluay, the captain of Turkey's national team, scored 19 and 26 points in exhibition games against the United States leading up to the Athens Olympics.

So, will Ibrahim Kutluay be the second coming of Detlef Schrempf or just another Vladimir Stephania?
