The commitment of the other assistants should mean that the Sonics are set on changing their roster this offseason instead of blaming it on the coaches.
I think Dwayne's off to Toronto, personally. Was very close to landing the job last season, this time around I think he will. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The commitment of the other assistants should mean that the Sonics are set on changing their roster this offseason instead of blaming it on the coaches.</div> Very good point. Next on the agenda should be committing to changing management.
