ESPN's Ric Bucher is reporting that the Sonics will swap picks with the Los Angeles Clippers, trading down and taking the Clippers No. 7 pick for a lottery-protected pick in 2009 in exchange for the Sonics giving up the No. 4 overall pick.
If the report proves accurate, Seattle could be in the market for UCLA product Russell Westbrook or Stanford big man Brook Lopez, who could fall to the No. 7 pick.
The Sonics are reportedly enamored with Westbrook's athleticism and defensive ability, but there's some question as to how soon he'll be able to run a team.
But he would have the benefit of having fellow UCLA product Earl Watson as a tutor in his first year with Seattle.
Lopez would help fill a void in the middle for the Sonics if he's available at No. 7, but there's still some question about his athletic ability and defensive presence in the post. Stay tuned.
Also, according to an ESPN report, the New Jersey Nets have agreed to send Richard Jefferson to Milwaukee for Yi Jianlian and Bobby Simmons.
