    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Sonics had been waiting for today to clear some roster space and potentially add some pieces that could spark a postseason run.

    The club requested waivers on guard Desmon Farmer and center Andreas Glyniadakis on Thursday, trimming the roster to 13 players and giving the Sonics a chance to sign perhaps two players to 10-day contracts.

    One of those 10-day contracts could be offered to former All-Star Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway, who worked out for Sonics coach Bob Hill on Dec. 18 and impressed club officials with his conditioning and mobility. He is nearly five years removed from microfracture surgery on his right knee and has been impressive in workouts in Houston.

    The Sonics did not have to make decisions on Farmer and Glyniadakis until Wednesday, which gives a strong indication they could sign Hardaway today and he could potentially be in uniform for tonight's game with the New York Knicks .

    The team's brass met before Thursday's practice at the Furtado Center and Hill said they would meet again during the afternoon for "Phase 2" of their plan.

    Hill has been clamoring for a starting center while Hardaway could provide some scoring punch in limited minutes off the bench.</div>
    I would be ecstatic. I have always loved Penny Hardaway, and I would absolutely love for him to come back into the league. Seattle is a good situation for him right now too: Lewis is out, no good backup wings (since Wilkins is starting). Good luck, Penny!

I'm still a fan of his not to mention a sonics fan so its a big plus if he improves this team, more importantly improving his play.

    I hope he gets signed because that would be sweet for Penny to make it back into the NBA
