http://www.nba.com/sonics/news/malone_501011.html Consultant? What's that? Like an assistant coach but doesn't sit on the bench? Anyway, I think he used to be one of Chuck Daly's buddies in Detroit, maybe he even invented the Jordan Rules. If Dwayne Casey was our defensive mastermind last year, maybe Malone can help replace his expertise.
Bobby is really building an experienced backbench to help him along this season, with Malone and Bob Hill on board. I expect the addition of these guys will probably help Jack Sikma more than anyone. Anyway, it can't hurt, can it? Unless the monkeys started hurting people... which they almost certainly would.
