Via True Hoop, the News Tribune's Frank Hughes reports today that the Sonics' organization is "enveloped by a cloud of paranoia, mistrust, distrust and, now, anger."

Say this for new Sonics owner Clay Bennett--he knows shitty basketball when he sees it. And he's replacing the men most responsible for bringing it to you, GM Rick Sund and coach Bob Hill.

--If you try to light people on fire, 82-year-old Gus Jones will whack you with his cane. Awesome picture in the Times.

Sonics' record under Bob Weiss last season: 13-17 (.433 winning percentage).

The Oklahoma City Seattle Rootin' Tootin' Rim Rockin' Hombres Presented by Walmart Sonics open the season in less than a month--on November 1st, vs. our new favorite team Portland.

-Is there a haze to the air today? A certain weight suspended in the atmosphere? Have you noticed anyone discreetly masking a shotgun blast to the face? Is it... sniff sniff... Cheney!

The Sonics said goodbye to three-point-shooting forward Dale Ellis Vladimir Radmanovic today. The fifth-year Sonic is headed to the Clippers. In return, the Sonics get Chris Wilcox, a fourth-year center out of Maryland. "In Chris, we get a great rebounder who can run the floor," says Sonics GM Rick Sund. InsideHoops.com likes the deal.

Befuddled Bob Weiss, whose sideline body language reminded us of overwhelmed Husky coach Keith Gilbertson, is gone, replaced by Bob Hill. Hill's last team, the 2002-03 Fordham University Rams, posted a 2-26 record (though they did nearly knock off then #25 Dayton). Hill is a safe and underwhelming choice--just like Weiss was.

Apparently Sonics management didn't like Bob Weiss spouting off on why the Sonics stink any more than we did. He's been fired. Current assistant Bob Hill, the former Spurs coach, takes over, bringing his "philosophy of basketball" and fabulous hair.
