Kareem Rush can shoot very well. Did you guys see him in the 2004 WCF. He made 7/7 to rally back and Minny.

We almost had Marcus Banks According to a newsnote buried on CNNSI.com: <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The prelude to the recent Timberwolves-Celtics deal is more interesting than the trade itself. The Sonics were negotiating to send guards Flip Murray and Rick Brunson to Boston in exchange for Marcus Banks; the Celtics were then going to send Murray to the Timberwolves as part of the package for Wally Szczerbiak. Everything was put on hold, though, when Seattle point guard Luke Ridnour suffered an injury, prompting the Sonics to delay the trade for a day to see how long Ridnour would be sidelined. He missed one game -- on Jan. 26, the same day the Celtics changed direction by sending Banks to Minnesota as part of the Szczerbiak deal. The Sonics were disappointed that Boston wasn't willing to wait, but the Celtics say that the decision wasn't theirs to make. They insist that the Timberwolves ultimately decided to acquire Banks instead of Murray. In any case, the Sonics are now back on the phones seeking a defensive-minded backup point guard by the Feb. 23 deadline.</div> Dammit, Luke and his softness.
