Post-Sonics Watch
Feeling lost without your Seattle SuperSonics? Seattle-area NBA fans face their first season without an NBA team in 41 years. Primarily, our coverage here will focus on the City of Seattle’s attempt to bring the NBA back to Seattle. But we also will provide updates on the Portland Trail Blazers, the Oklahoma City Thunder and area players plying their trade for other teams in the NBA.

Keeping an eye on the NBA and Seattle's efforts to get back into the game
Monday, October 15th, 2007

A quick trip around the Northwest Division. I’ll have an update from practice later today.

Seattle: If you have not seen it yet, ESPN’s J.A. Adande wrote a piece on the Sonics.

Portland: Trail Blazer coach Nate McMillan calls out his big men and they respond with a good win at Atlanta. Bremerton’s Marvin Williams had a team-high 18 points for Atlanta in the loss. More about the game from Mike Barrett’s Blazer Blog.

Denver: Regulars Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony sat out as coach George Karl gave some of his reserves an extended look in the Nuggets 109-106 loss at Detroit. Former UW standout Bobby Jones took advantage of the veterans sitting, totaling 17 points, six rebounds and four assists in 27 minutes.

And Eddie Murphy films a scene of his upcoming movie Nowhereland with cameos from Iverson and Anthony. Read more about it in this Nuggets notebook.

Utah: A reporter for the Salt Lake Tribune contemplates a potential Andrei Kirilenko for Wally Szczerbiak trade in this Q&A session.

And Jazz owner Larry Miller says point guard Deron Williams is definitely part of the team’s long-range plans.

Minnesota: Looks like the T-Wolves are in a similar situation as Seattle, as Minnesota coach Randy Wittman says there are no guaranteed starters.

Not related to anything, but just thought I would share this clip that shows Adam Morrison talking about crying.

Talk to you this afternoon.

A few weeks ago I proposed a Wally + Wilcox to Utah (-with AK47 going to Phx and Marion coming here) over at the realgm forum, but I wasn't all that serious. Since then I don't think I want Marion since he's wants waaay too much money. Andre would be nice to have so I think now I'd just deal directly with the Jazz.
However, I do NOT want to give up Swift in any deal and I wouldn't want to give up on Mo Sene yet either. If we got Kirilenko it would only make sense to give up a PF, not a C. I think the price of Wally and either Wilcox or Collison is a little too steep at this point. I'd like to see what Wally can do here, and I don't want him coming back to haunt us. Plus Wilcox looks like he's going to thrive under PJ...

Just my humble opinion.

Adam Morrison is so cool, i hope he has a good season this year in Charlotte.

Dr. I think the Jazz would want significantly more than Wally plus either Wilcox or Collison for Kirilenko.
