Sonics Extend Qualifing Offers To Radmanovic, Murray, Evans, Wilkins

The Seattle Supersonics extended qualifing offers to Vladimir Radmanovic, Ronald Murray, Reggie Evans and Damien Wilkins on Tuesday.

The small forward Radmanovic has put his Seattle house up for sale and there is much speculation he will go for a bigger contract elsewhere.

Ronald "Flip" Murray has seen very little time playing behind shooting guard Ray Allen, however, can be explosive in the few minutes he does play.

Reggie Evans had a breakthrough year as the Sonics power forward with tough defense and tenacious rebounding.

The youngster Damien Wilkins has shown much promise and had some very big games late in the season filling in for the injured Radmanovic and Rashard Lewis.

The state of Washington has the opportunity to produce three first found picks this year as Marvin Williams and Martell Webster seem to be locks as lottery picks and Husky Nate Robinson potentially sneaking into the first round.

Next draft promises to be the same with two Washingtonians coming into the draft with first-round potential, Washington's Brandon Roy (Garfield) and Gonzaga's Adam Morrison (Mead High in Spokane).

"It seems like every year we just keep getting better and better," said Roy of the status of basketball in Washington.

Current and retired NBA players from the state have paved the way for this new class to make the jump to the League including: Jason Terry, Michael Dickerson, Brian Scalabrine, Jamal Crawford, Doug Christie Luke Ridnour and Dan Dickau.
