Keeping an eye on the NBA and Seattle's efforts to get back into the game

Chris Wilcox participated in today’s morning shootaround with the starters and is expected to start tonight against Phoenix, Seatttle coach P.J. Carlesimo said.

Wilcox had missed the Sonics’ last game against Philadelphia on New Year’s Eve with a sprained left knee, but according to Carlesimo moved OK in practice today and probably will play limited minutes tonight. Seattle can use Wilcox’s mobility against the up-tempo Suns.

Luke Ridnour (sore left quad) and Kevin Durant (sprained left finger) also are expected to play tonight, with Durant expected to start.

Here’s the story from The Daily Oklahoman on the Oklahoma City Council’s vote to put the tax measure on the ballot March 4. Looks like they still have some questions about the funding package.

Jeff Green has moved into the No. 10 spot of ESPN writer David Thorpe’s rookie watch. Of course, Kevin Durant is ranked No. 1 on the list. Here’s what Stein had to say about the two this week.

The light shining on Kevin Durant casts a shadow on a few other rookies who in most seasons would be ROY candidates -- none moreso than his teammate, Jeff Green. The more I watch him, the more I think Green may be a top-tier player in this league. Scottie Pippen to Durant's Michael Jordan? Not quite. But his multiple offensive skills and basketball IQ, combined with Durant's scoring talent, means that in many big games in Seattle's future, defenses that aim to slow Durant are going to have fits defending Green. He'll be too good to have just anybody rotate onto him.

There have been numerous comparisons of Green to Pippen. If he is even 75%of what Pippen was it makes losing Ray Allen worth it.
Hopefully Green wont become a smack-talker like Pippen.
