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.

It’s not the best time to be a Seattle sports fan right now. Sure the Sonics were able to re-sign Vladimir Radmanovic for the upcoming season.

Pump Up the James
Until Saturday, the most memorable moment Jerome James provided as a Sonic was the time he was suspended for falling asleep during a team film session. "I wasn't asleep, I just nodded off," he later said. Or when he was late for practice when he couldn't get his car--a Hummer H2--out of his driveway after a Seattle "snowstorm."
SuperSonic Sick Out?
Are some Sonics adopting the labor tactics of 1930's autoworkers' unions?
Seattle Center-less
The Supersonics are hot. Prior to last nights victory against New Orleans, the Sonics beat the Houston Rockets in Houston, largely by shutting down superstar Tracy McGrady. But the Rockets' center Yao Ming scored 30 points and this highlights the Sonics biggest problem - the Sonics center-less.
