Will you waive Baron if you can't move him this season? 14. I already did, I offered someone $300 to take him off waivers, no one claimed.

Poor questions, so I'll ask another. Besides Durant and Bosh, do you believe anyone else on the roster will be with the team long term?

Why is the trade so focused on moving Andrew Bogut? The previous GM was very supportive of Bogut. Are you not?

There is really no one else on the roster I can see staying long term besides Budinger. I like Chase and I believe he can improve to become a solid role player in this league. But if I were to get a good trade offer with him involved I would be okay with letting him go

Like most new GMs taking over a team, I want to start fresh and bring in my own players. What I really want to do is try and clear all salaries besides Durant and Bosh and rebuild this team myself.

The previous GM - despite having basically the same team - never endured long streaks or large amounts of success. Hopefully your goal is to eventually contend and win a ring. What's the one thing you need to do most to win, or are you looking to make a quick rebuild and get rid of some players that don't quite fit your core?

All I want to do is bring rings to the Seattle organization. My first goal is too get rid of everyone under contract except Bosh and most likely Durant. After I can do that, I can assess my team and see what is best. If it is best for my team to take a year or two to rebuild then I will do that and if I can compete right away then that is even better.

Despite being in rebuild mode, you're in 7th position. Is this a bane or a boon to your team?

I expect this to drop again next sim and hopefully we will be out of the playoffs. One more year of lottery and life will be great.

thoughts on Durant and the path he's taken in his career? What do you like, dislike and everything in between?

I like everything about Durant, he is playing up to his expectations and I expect him to only improve from here. Even after going through all those trade rumors, he still stuck loyal to Seattle and signed an extension with us. I couldn't be any happier with this man's career so far.

Will we see Bosh, Nash, and Terry back in Seattle after this season? (Assuming that they don't retire)

Most likely Terry will be gone, and Nash will be back depending on how the season goes and if I am able to get a young pg this season to fill his spot for next season.

Why do you have such a large inclination in trading Bosh? How hard will it be on your team to see Bosh go?

With a long shot to reach the playoffs and no first pick, what are the THUNDER playing for for the remainder of the season.

Had a good sim last night, just going to hope for the best and see if we can sneak into the playoffs we are not that far back so I can see it happening. Also we are the SuperSonics the commish can force us to move, but we will not conform!

will you be resigning Bosh this offseason? If you are, will you be looking to move him once resigned?

It looks like Durant has finally come into his own. Do you think he could win MVP this season?

What are the Sonics missing to make the playoffs and contend? 27. We need to find a true center, right now have Simien there and that is not a good fit. Also need to find a third scoring option after Durant and Bosh.

Bosh and KD are both B defenders but that's the best you've got. Will you look to add some defence this season before the playoffs or wait for free agency?

Here is a little lesson for you my friend, those letters you see next to players aren't everything. My team is #1 in forced turnovers (2nd in spg, 3rd in bpg) we are allowing only 96ppg. So too answer your question, my defense is nothing to worry about.
