More Sonics trade rumors
Posted by Eric Williams @ 07:43:55 am

With the February trade deadline looming, Seattle point guards Luke Ridnour and Earl Watson's names have been involved in trade rumors.

The latest has the New York Knicks possibly interested in Ridnour, with guard Stephon Marbury opting to have surgery to remove bone spurs in his left ankle.

Also, ESPN's Chris Sheridan has Wally Szczerbiak as a potential person for the Sonics to trade before the deadline for expiring contracts because teams might be interested in adding another shooter.

Says Sheridan: "He (Szczerbiak) makes $12 million this season and $13 million next season, and he can still shoot it. If the Sonics could get him off their cap along with Earl Watson (two more years at $6.2M and $6.6M) in one fell swoop, they'd likely do it if they could get back expiring contracts and some kind of sweetener. Jason Williams, Dorell Wright and Ricky Davis for Wally and Watson is said to be in the works, by the way. And Miami could sweeten it with one or all of the three second-round picks it has in the upcoming draft (its own, Philadelphia's and Indiana's)."

The worse the team performs, the less opposition tot he move to OKC....... I think we're trying to pass Minnesota as worst team in the league. This trade would seal it.

do the trade

wally and earl hold so much money and davis and williams would add depth and veteranship with dorrell is young and could be a role player especially if draft picks are added

do it

Is anyone annoyed that all it takes to start a trade rumor these days is to have a writer say "perhaps this team may be interested in so & so" and then everyone else runs with the idea?

The Sonics point guard play is atrocious. All of them are severely flawed players. If they got rid of all three they would do themselves a favor. Ridnour just hasn't worked out. he is no Steve Nash. He can't even hold Nash's jock strap.

My fingers are crossed that the Sonics strike gold in the draft and get a PG who actually can play in the NBA. We were spoiled with Payton.

There are just too many sleds on the Sonics who don't even deserve an NBA roster spot.

Ridnour 24:17 Minutes against LA 10 Points and 11 Assists. No hes not a steve nash - there is no other nash, there are chris pauls and a few others - people need to clear it up and realize ridnour has the right skills for a point guard on this team.

I'd like to ask Earl what constitutes a PG. What's one of the first things they teach a PG - never lose your dribble - and thats the first thing he does.

I wonder what all the trade rumor victims from the other teams are thinking right now! I'm sure not a one of them want to be traded to the Super Sonics. That would be so sorry if you were one of them, to be traded to the second and soon to be the first loser team in the NBA.. Ahhh how rough it is to be in the NBA these day's.

I think Luke is our best "point guard". I would sooner trade Watson, but if Ridnour is who teams are interested and we can get something back and some draft picks, go for it! This team is soo far from contending, may as well just start from scratch. Durant is the future of the team, and I'm very impressed with Collison, but as far as I'm concerned almost anyone else is fair game for trades.
