Your thoughts? I think these are all realistic trades.

Did you know that Sene won't be playing this year due to surgery? I kinda think you get robbed by the Supes there actually. I like both Foster and Diogu.

Edit: also, last I checked, Lee and Hill will go a lot higher than where you have them.

I see no use for Foster or Diogu on the Sonics. Both of them will be gone by the time Durant matures and are just career backups. We need to use the #24 ourselves to get a player who will be around in a few years. Sene may become a shot blocking big once his knee recovers. Maybe Bennett wants another $6M expiring but I don't.
