Here is the latest of what I am hearing …
SONICS MOVES
· The Denver Nuggets have told the Sonics that they will do the Earl Watson deal to the Sonics for Flip Murray and Reggie Evans and a contract if everything else falls apart. The Sonics would likely have to take Bryon Russell as well. The Nuggets are in the midst of numerous conversations around the league including New York and Orlando most prominently. This is looking more and more unlikely.
· The Sonics and the Chicago Bulls have had conversations about Chris Duhon for Reggie Evans. The Bulls are all over the map at this time and there is no deal that is imminent. The Sonics would probably rather do this deal then the Denver deal if Chicago buys in. According, to some sources the Bulls are unwilling to move Duhon.
· The Sonics have also had conversations with the Toronto Raptors for Jose Calderon and the Pacers for Anthony Johnson.
· According to sources, the Wolves and the Sonics had conversations about Marko Jaric however, the Sonics went cold on the conversation.
· Ideally, the Sonics would like to hold onto Danny Fortson and Vitaly Potapenko because their contracts would be valuable pieces to trade along with their draft pick if the right deal came about.
REST OF THE NBA
· The Utah Jazz are actively shopping Carlos Boozer
· The Denver Nuggets are trying to move Kenyon Martin
· Numerous reports have the Magic and the Knicks close to culminating a deal for Steve Francis to New York that would include Rainer Beach product Jamal Crawford going to Orlando
· The Blazers deal of Ratliff and Miles to New York for Penny Hardaway is supposedly very close.

can someone explain to me why we're so anxious to trade reggie evans and why he's riding so much pine? was it something specific that happened or does bob hill just not like him?
admittedly i haven't been plugged into the sonics lately.
Reggie Evans is an offensive nightmare and plays terrible help defense.
not disputing that reggie evans sucks offensively, but we suck at rebounding right now - and he's good at that. it's the same guy we started last year and had success with, so i don't understand why the negativity all of a sudden. he fills a role in which we are currently struggling.
we don't need scorers in the starting lineup, so i'm not concerned with his lack of offense. he sets good screens, he's physical, he hustles and he plays with emotion. seems to me like there's a serious lack of emotion on the team this year. basically, i don't think he's the reason we're losing, but i think it could be argued that we've done worse without him in.
