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.

Eric Williams covered the Sonics' last season in Seattle. A Tacoma native, Eric graduated from Mount Tahoma High and the University of Puget Sound.

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

Kurt Thomas to San Antonio
Posted by Eric Williams @ 03:24:49 pm

ESPN is reporting that Seattle center Kurt Thomas has been traded to San Antonio. I don't have details of the trade right now but I'll make them available here as I learn more.

If Seattle were to make a trade before the deadline Thomas was expected to go because his contract expires at the end of the year and the Sonics need to make room to give Robert Swift and Johan Petro more minutes.

Thomas served the team's needs well this season, working as a mentor for the young bigs and showing the young guys how to compete and how conduct themselves as professional in the NBA. I'm sure he will be missed by the Sonics organization. I'll have more later.

Looks to be the scoop so far. Hey Eric, would you have a chance to break down our draft picks we have coming in the next few seasons?

Thank you!

Opal: I believe Seattle has 12 picks in the next two drafts, but I'm not sure how many of those are first rounders. I would think the Sonics are almost certain to use those picks in potential deals over the next year or two. But Presti also has proven a pretty good judge of talent, so maybe he believes he can find some decent players with these late-first round picks.
