With a little more than a month remaining before the Sonics begin training camp, I’ll try to shift gears and focus more on basketball instead of the arena issue.

So I’m interested to hear what types of questions you have heading into the preseason.

I’ll pose a few.

Who will start at point guard?

Can Robert Swift be the long-term solution at center?

What position will Kevin Durant play?

Will Jeff Green start or come off the bench?

Let me know what some of your basketball-related concerns are with the Sonics’ current roster and will get into some discussion this week.

But in case you missed it, here’s a link to Saturday’s story on Sonics chairman Clay Bennett’s meeting with Sonics employees, which apparently included a discussion on why the Sonics ownership group would be interested in moving to a medium-sized market like Oklahoma City.

TNT columnist John McGrath offered this interesting take on the NBA fining Sonics part owner Aubrey McClendon for his comments on moving the team to Oklahoma City a few weeks ago.

And the New Orleans Times-Picayune has an interesting story on the long-term prospects of the Hornets’ economic viability in the New Orleans.
