Wow I like this if it goes through! With PJ and his aggressive defensive style adding a great offensive coach will be a nice adition!!</p>
Westhead signing is finalized.</p> <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>"I'm happy to join the Sonics staff," Westhead said in a statement. "P.J. and I have worked together and known each other for many years and I'm thankful for the opportunity."</div></p>
Sounds way too much like Paul Westphal for my liking, but in an assistant role he should be good.</p>
