I really like Bogut, but the only way we could get our hands on him is if the Bucks don't give him the money he wants and if Bennett is willed to pay the man, so we're able to do a sign and trade. All things considered, i don't think Bogut will ever come to Seattle.

Curry could be had for a bag of brezels, but he does not, at all, fit into what Presti is trying to build here and he'll eat the brezels before we could send them in exchange to New York.

Rasho would be nice, but the Pacers don't need Watson or Ridnour and i don't think we should trade Wilcox for him.

You and me both. What about some sort of sign/trade with the Jazz? At $2.5M for two years I think the following deal works.

Earl Watson for Jason Hart & CJ Miles

Jason Hart is an expiring. He could be either released or kept around to back up Russell Westbrook in the event Ridnour is traded for an expiring as well. A great follow up would be Ridnour & Wilkins to the Knicks for Malik Rose.

Anyone have any thoughts about Desagana Diop?
Any chance the front office signs him to fill the void at Center?

Diop would be nice, but he's rumored to go back to the Mavs.
We should also keep in mind which situation this franchise is in right now and i doubt that Presti would be given the green light to pay a free agent as much as Diop will ask for(yes, the Sonics won't even pay the full MLE over a couple of years right now).

Yeah I just haven't heard anything about him.

Another thing that just caught my attention. I can buy a Durant or Green replica jersey for 75 bucks but I happened to notice that that if you want a Wilcox, Ridnour, or Watson jersey it only costs $22.50. Now thats not a regular sale it's more like a clearance, 70% off. Do the merchandise people know that somethings on its way of happening?
