Sonics quiet on GM search

There is no way that Acie falls to the 31st spot, so perhaps the Sonics are looking at a Rashard Lewis trade for a draft pick. Hmmmm.....

Think he could fall to 27th? Then the Pistons could get him at 27 along with another player with the 15th pick.

So some players would have to move as well. Tay and the pick for Shard?

That would really be a hard choice. Tayshaun is one of my favorite players, and his defense is much better than Rashard's.

However, after watching many Sonics games up close this past season, I am sold on Lewis. He is very fast, has great handles, passes well, can shoot the lights out, and just dominated games when Ray Allen was out. He could really help solve the Pistons scoring drought problem.

I'm not sure how all the salary stuff works out, but the Pistons may be able to pry a Center project out of Seattle with the pick as well. Petro and Sene will see very few minutes with Swift returning, and we may be able to pick up the next "mystery man" for our bench.

I don't know. The mock draft I looked at has him going 20th to Miami. Dropping to 31st seems like wishful thinking, unless they have a plan...

I think Noah might fall as well. I don't know how far though.

His measurables were pretty impressive, same size as Oden with way more spring.

I can't believe he's a legit 6'11"... wow.

Not saying I'd take him over Oden, but that sure didn't hurt him at all.

before the Cleveland series, I'd say no way. Cause Tay gets it done in the playoffs and is such a great team guy and defender. Now it's more of a HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM?????????????

I'd still probably keep Tay just because his contract is so good and he makes so few bad decisions.

-Does Rodney Stuckey have a promise from Detroit? That’s what some people are starting to believe, even though we don’t really buy these types of rumors, since it makes very little sense. Some people (including one NBA team) say that Stuckey is privately claiming to have received the guarantee, while others believe he is one of a handful of players Detroit is considering with the 15th pick.

Stuckey's agent, Aaron Goodwin, told us in response that "This rumor was started and perpetuated by other agents, and all will see that Stuckey will continue to workout and definitely for teams with picks before the 15th. I’ve heard it from teams also, and I have told them this also. "

Interestingly enough, Stuckey has one workout scheduled with the Seattle Supersonics, who hold the #2 and #31 picks, neither of which are in his range. That workout, to be held on June 11th, will be conducted with Acie Law, who isn’t really in that range at all either. We were told to “draw our own conclusions” from that, while being assured that there is a “method behind the madness.”

Similarly to what we discussed yesterday with Portland, this could very well be another situation where Seattle could easily jump up and land a late lottery pick if they so desire. Stuckey is also scheduled to work out for the Phoenix Suns on the 18th. The Suns are telling people that they are planning on packaging the picks to move up and nab the player they like most, which is exactly what they said last year as well (holding the #21 and #27 spots) before selling/trading both picks.

Interesting stuff. Thanks Slippy.

Hopefully Blakely will keep the info coming regarding the players coming in and related draft stuff. It's about the only thing Pistons that I can think about without becoming upset.
