    Luke Ridnour, Earl Watson and Delonte West all are auditioning for the starting point guard position in an ongoing evaluation period that will last until the end of the season. And West, who makes $1.9 million this year, becomes a restricted free agent at the end of this year. Seattle GM Sam Presti has said he will revisit contract talks with West this summer.

    "I kind of have been playing with a heavy mind just thinking about the rotations and all of the point guards here," West said. "And thinking about how that affects the business aspect moving forward. And I just decided to put everything aside and to get back and have fun playing basketball and see where that takes me." -- Tacoma News Tribune</div>

    I'd let West start, but that's just me. I think out off all of them, he is the best all around player. He passing skill are pretty good and he is better off the dribble then Luke. Watson, hasn't really impressed me too much.

    Considering that both Earl and Luke have two years remaining on deals that they were both highly overpaid I would imagine that Sam Presti should be looking to deal one of them in order to get some more flexibility for future deals.

    Sam Presti has made one good move since he has been a GM -- and that is getting Kurt Thomas and two first round picks from Phoenix for a trade exception that I was surprised he got from Orlando. Other than that he has not been worth a damn.

    He has a done a very good job of turning the Sonics into a team that fans won't want to go see and that is his main job.
