What about that guy Fredette? Bust? At least we have good players up front, something we lacked for years since Shawn Kemp and Vin Baker (should I mention him?) departed. Wilcox/Potapenko/Booth/Drobnjak/Radmanovic(at times) weren't getting it done.
We have to get this deal done..It would mean A LOT to the league and city of Seattle
1) Fredette can't play defense at all(his footwork and speed is just awful) and will get stripped off the ball everytime he tries to dribble it.
He can shoot, but he's not even all that good(so far) at it since coming into the league.
They could've gotten Klay Thompson(Warriors starting SG) with that pick but instead wasted it on a bench player(if he's fullfilling his potential) in Fredette.
2) We can't do anything at all.
We, the fans, have shown that we want a team back and are still talking about it, even five years after the Sonics left.
Our guys, Hansen/Balllmer, have done everything needed so far in reaching that agreement with the Maloofs, working with the politicians of Seattle, spending quite some money(could be something around $1 billion, if it works out) and doing all the steps needed with that new arena.
Right now the only thing we can do is wait for the other owners to sign off on the sale and relocation of the Kings franchise.
Nice takes Det. I remembered you were the guy from Germany that said Peter Fehse was a nice pick up ...obviously I am jkg Have you ever seen this kid play?Did he pan out?
