Here’s my story today on the new arena proposal presented by Fred Brown and Dave Bean on Tuesday, called the Emerald City Center.
For some reaction to the proposal, listen to Elise Woodward and Ian Furness of KJR talk about the proposal with Seattle Times’ columnist Steve Kelly here. Both Furness and Kelly were at the press conference on Tuesday.
Also, I talked to Brian Robinson of Save Our Sonics about the proposal after the meeting on Tuesday, and you can listen to his comments here.
Kevin Durant earned his fourth Rookie of the Month honor for March on Tuesday. Listen to Durant talk about the award here.
Seattle coach P.J. Carlesimo talks about Durant’s season here.
The big news in the NBA today is the New York Knicks have finally made a move in its front office, hiring former Indiana Pacers' CEO Donnie Walsh as its new president and making Isiah Thomas just the coach. There is a possibility that Walsh could retain Thomas as the coach for next season.
I don’t usually link to articles from our competitors, but if you have not read this piece I thought I should make you aware of a Seattle P-I article that sheds some light on when state lawmakers knew about the proposal to remodel KeyArena.
That’s all for now. I’ll have more from KeyArena tonight when the Sonics take on the L.A. Clippers.
COMMENTS:
Have Presti or PJ ever talked any specifics about the relative importance of the 3 point shot in the team's offensive design? Is it a system "choice" that so few of them are going up or do they see it as a response to low team 3 pt ability? Is this a temporary situation? Do they plan to emphasize finding high volume 3 point shooters to add to the offense?
It's possible they will emphasize the 3-point shot more next season as Durant (28 percent from beyond the arc) becomes a better 3-point shooter and Jeff Green (29 percent from beyond the arc) continues to develop his outside stroke, but right now 3-point shooting is not a strength of this team. After watching the last several games it hard to identify what the strengths are.
