At 2-5 this year, the Seattle Sonics appear to be struggling to find themselves. Let's be honest, this team is not that different from last year. What I think is lacking is a consistant shot blocker (don't worry, I won't say that getting rid of James was a bad move...he's doing nothing in NY). The Sonics this year have been getting lit up and have not been consistant defensively (109 pts by NJ, 137 pts by WA). What really is missing this year is McMillan. He was a defensive wizard and could make average talent into cohesively smart basketball team. I think Weiss is a good offensive coach, but needs to make more adjustments to the defensive schemes.
As I've also said all along, Swift was a bust @ the #12 pick.
