At long last, Allen says he's ready

Dec 23, 2003 9:19 AM EST

Seattle Supersonics guard Ray Allen will make his regular season debut tonight at home against the Phoenix Suns.

He probably won't start but that doesn't matter to him now.

"It doesn't really matter," Allen said. "I know eventually I will work my way into the starting lineup. At this point, it is time for me to get back in the lineup and give the team a boost. However I can do that, I am looking forward to it."

Allen has missed the team's first 25 games due to surgery on Nov 1 to remove a loose particle from his right ankle.

"Flip" on the move?

Dec 22, 2003 9:58 AM EST

Are the Seattle Supersonics looking to make a deal that involves Ronald "Flip" Murray? It sure sounds like a possibility.

Said one GM: "They (the Sonics) could dump some of those bad contracts if they parted with Murray."

Sonics general manager Rick Sund acknowledged that Murray could be packaged with less-desirable players (We are guessing a big contract like Vitaly Potapenko and/or Jerome James).

However, Sund sounds hesitant to make a move.

"The worst thing we could do is move too soon," he said.

Allen returns, but warns he is not Sonics' savior

Dec 18, 2003 8:41 AM EST

Seattle guard Ray Allen will return to practice today.

However, he warns that it's not going to automatically get the team more wins.

"Just because I'm out there, that doesn't mean we'll win more games," he cautioned yesterday. "I hope it does. But this is a different team than last year. ... There's no guarantees."
