Kurt Thomas What a Pick-up?

So the Sonics pick up Kurt Thomas from the Suns after signing PJ Carlesimo as coach...What a great move. They get the veteran leadership top "Tutor" Kevin Durant and Jeff Green? Are you kidding me?

Let's see Kurt Thomas is a scoring and rebounding machine right? Not quite. Over the last 2 years he has averaged 6.4 points per game and 6.6 rebounds. Great mentoring numbers huh..I'm sure that's just the kind of stats they want out of Durant and Green!

And at what price did they get this great product: $8.1 million for one year plus there $8 million cap exception. So in reality $16.1 million.

I think that is a crazy price to pay for a one year tutoring session from someone averaging less that 7 and 7 over the last two years!

They picked up Kurt Thomas, not Tim, as well as two first round draft picks also.

yeah, the 2008 and 2010 draft picks made it riteous though.
especially since this one year isn't the year they're necessarily aiming for a championship. This will definately pay off in the long term, and Seattle is in some dier need of whatever big men they can get their hands on.

They didn't trade for Kurt Thomas. They traded for salary cap relief, and draft picks. That first round pick next year could be a nice trading chip. That is the same reason why they traded for the washed up
