Sonics win 2nd Overall Draft Pick in 2007 NBA Draft…but

    Is anyone else out there a little scared for the 2007 NBA Draft coming up in the middle of June? I started thinking about the Sonics Executives and the Organizations business decisions in the past couple years and I begin to fear the draft. If the Sonic pass on Kevin Durant and go with there current trend and draft Yi Jianlian, I will forever disown the Sonics whether they are located in Seattle, Oklahoma City, Kansas City, or Vegas. Lets take a look at the sonics 1st round draft pick pattern over the last couple of years, which has been Influenced by an extreme need for an efficient big man. Robert Swift in 2004, Johan Petro in 2005, and Mouhamed Sene in 2006. What’s with the trend of drafting a BIG guy every year that shows no signs of ever being dominant? Yet the team is still willing to blow their first round pick on the hopes of teaching a lackluster big men to do a layup off of the correct foot. Hopefully Lenny Wilkens can talk some sense into the organization and persuade them to draft Durant. Although if any team could blow drafting Durant, I would bet on the Sonics to do so. It’s been downhill ever since that Snooty Coffee Making Son of a Bitch wouldn’t give Nate McMillan an extra 1.4 million dollars to match the offer made by the trailblazers to keep the brilliant coach in Seattle. On top of it all he was coming off nearly a 60 win season, the best single season since the days Payton and Kemp ran shit in KeyArena. Here is a perfect opportunity for a young player to be drafted that can immediately join the franchise and make a real contribution. His potential is endless. At 6-10/11, he is offensive mix of a Dirk Nowitski and Kevin Garnett. His defense is solid too. Sonics ball would be worth watching and rooting for next year if we got the high flying scoring machine in Durant on our team. Sorry for the rant, I’m tired of watching the Sonics run themselves out of the city.

 The only thing the sonics have done right over the past 4 years….
