<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">AUBURN HILLS, Mich. – As the Seattle SuperSonics dropped their fourth consecutive game, a 97-93 loss to the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night, it became apparent that they need another big man in the middle. With Robert Swift out for the season with a knee injury and with a clear problem at center because Johan Petro is not comfortable in the starting role, the Sonics (10-15) are on the lookout for a veteran starting center. General manager Rick Sund and director of player personnel David Pendergraft, both of whom were at The Palace of Auburn Hills on Sunday night, are evaluating talent and making calls to other general managers in an effort to pry loose a player that could help them. A player such as Detroit’s Dale Davis is a perfect candidate. “Until our young bigs improve a little – and by young I mean Petro and (Mouhamed) Sene – a veteran big guy would give us a better chance to win,” Pendergraft said. “If we had Robert (Swift), we wouldn’t be having this discussion. He is a legitimate starting center in the NBA. “We are hopeful that Petro will continue to do what he is doing and we will continue to look for help. I think having a starting center would be a comfort to Ray (Allen) and (Rashard Lewis).” The issue is prickly for several reasons, and there is absolutely no guarantee that an acquisition will be made.</div> Source
DD's impact has been huge thus far this season. Pistons will need him around to win the east believe It or not.
