With the Sonics training camp set to begin on Monday, the team plans to release its roster invitee list tomorrow (Thursday). I’ll have the full list along with a short story. And I plan to write a preview looking at some of the main story lines heading into camp, as we make the switch to reporting what is happening on the basketball floor.

I’ll have daily updates from training camp starting next week, including interviews, injury updates, analysis on how guys are playing at practice and other tidbits. What else are you interested in knowing next week? Let me know in the comments section and I’ll try to address your concerns.

I also will be adding to the resource list on the right side of the page links I think will be helpful to provide more information throughout the year, including statistical breakdowns and analysis. I’ll let you know when I start to post those links.

I’m looking forward to covering camp, but I’ll keep you updated with what is happening on the arena front as well, so stay tuned.

For now, check out these links.
