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
Sunday, February 24th, 2008

Seattle only has 10 healthy bodies again tonight. Chris Wilcox and new arrival Donyell Marshall both have the flu and have been sent home, and Damien Wilkins has a sprained right wrist he injured when he fell hard after trying to dunk the ball against Portland on Friday. So Wilkins will be in street clothes.

That means newcomers Ira Newble and Adrian Griffin should see plenty of time tonight, along with Francisco Elson.

Starters for tonight are Earl Watson, Kevin Durant, Jeff Green, Nick Collison and Johan Petro.

Probable starters for Los Angeles are Derek Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Luke Walton, Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol.

Ex-Sonics Wally Szczerbiak and Delonte West saw their first time for Cleveland tonight, as the Cavaliers defeated Memphis 109-89. Szczerbiak finished with 10 points on 4-of-10 shooting from the field and two rebounds in 32 minutes.

West started at point guard and finished 2-of-12 from the floor with five points, six rebounds and three turnovers in 31 minutes.

Szczerbiak had this to say to the media on Saturday

“Delonte and I went through a tough experience. It was definitely a franchise in a different phase,” Szczerbiak told the Akron Beacon Journal. “I am ecstatic to be in a place where the main goal is winning — and winning a champion
ship.”

No news on Robert Swift. He was at KeyArena working out, and there's no word on when he will travel to California for a second opinion.

Listen to Newble talk about the trade here.
