The only thing sillier than both the Sonics' move from Seattle to OKC and their generic new name was actually believing Carlesimo would make a good first head coach for Kevin Durant.

It's not official yet and nothing's for sure till we see a press release from either the Warriors or Knicks, but here's my initial reaction: Fantastic move for the Warriors and the Knicks are really, really angling for that 2010 free agent campaign.

Definitely stop by Posting and Toasting for some Knickerbocking thoughts.

Here's a piece that's depressing and frustrating, but still very interesting.

But let's do it Dubs style in the comments. Who are your most depressing Warriors players of all time?

My first nominee is Larry Hughes. I honestly thought this guy was a star in the making and a permanent fixture at the 2-guard spot when he instantly averaged 22.7ppg after Warriors GM Gary St. Jean pulled off that midseason trade for him back in Y2K. Sure he shot a depressing 38.9% from the field during those first 32 games with the Warriors, but he was young, athletic, and pretty fun to watch. Aside from his single All-Star season with the Washington Warriors in 2004-2005 his post Warriors career has been pretty, well... depressing. Too bad. Hughes always seemed like a good guy.

It wasn't that long ago that NBA head coaches voiced their frustrations about having to be mic-ed up, so that TV stations could get fans supposedly more up close and personal with the game. To tell you the truth what I'd really like to hear more of are the on court sounds of the players. Sure it's probably far from being PG (or even PG-13 when KG's playing), but it'd be really entertaining to check out what the real screamers and trash talkers are doing nightly.

Big ups to my man Dave who runs the mighty fine Blazers Edge. Good game Blazers Nation. Good game indeed.

Geoff Lepper breaks down the cap ramifications.

Love Jack and I'm happy he's getting paid, but what an odd signing. Further proof that the Warriors mismanagement has some of the worst contract negotiation skills in the business. They have this bizarre habit of outbidding themselves. The Fisher/ Foyle free agent signings were just awful moves. J-Rich, T-Murph, and Dunleavy were all extended BEFORE they were even restricted free agents. Why does history keep repeating itself?
