    The Seattle Times had reported on Friday that Rashard Lewis leaving via trade was unlikely but after reading the article it did state that a trade with the Rockets is the most probable if any trade would be made at all:

    "Raiding the Rockets roster is more feasible because forward Maurice Taylor is scheduled to make $7.2 million next season and Kelvin Cato is due $6.7 million. Packaging one of them with another Houston player could make a deal with the Sonics possible."

    The link to the full article is:

    Just an update.. for those starving, like myself, for at least something to talk about!

    Sounds about 70/30 right now

    70% chance that Seattle will cough it up

    30% chance that the Mavs or Rockets get him..

    I do think we would offer more in a trade scenario because Cuban already feels his team has all the pieces!

    I have a feeling something will happen soon. I hate to say it but he needs to stay with the Sonics and take the guaranteed money. A one year contract is a to risky--- especially if you blow out and ACL or something.

    I'd trade Mo T for Rashard, but I don't know about Cato. I know we all hate him, but he is a valuable part of this team. He will be the starting center for the first part of the season, and will be a big body off the bench for 20 minutes a game after that. I'd love to trade Cato, but if we do, we have to get a center in return.

    I'll be glad when we don't have to hear about Ratard anymore.

    I agree. I am tired of hearing about Lewis. We don't need him, we are already set at the position.

    :D :D :D :D :D
