No trades for Sups

Hyperbole aside, they are hovering around the Ray situation before making any other moves. They could have done something minor but what's the difference when your magic number is 16 (throwing Brian a bone).

The problem is (on this I'll be shocked to see an argument) that the Sonics don't talk, leak anything. Once in a while I'd like to have something "get out" that they laughed off a trade, who was in it, and that it should be clear to you and I that it was better to not deal. A few years ago it was refreshing to hear Wally Walker say on the radio that he literally laughed at the Knicks calling to trade Ewing for GP. We could all look at that and say "thanks for not doing something stupid". That stuff counts with fans, or at least this fan. Once in a while, they have to throw us a bone and that will go a long way to squelching some of the criticism. Sund mentioning that they were going after a couple players last summer is meaningful to me, saying that they only wanted 4 guards confirms why there were rumors from Houston that they might get AD during the BB negotiations. Brent signed with SA and the AD rumor want away.
A little more communication to support their actions would actually help support their actions (or, inactions).
