Seattle has talked to the Denver Nuggets about acquiring Watson, who played his rookie season of 2001-02 with the SuperSonics. And Memphis, where Watson played from 2002-05, is looking for a point guard after losing Damon Stoudamire to a season-ending knee injury. "I can't control where I go," said Watson, Denver's third point guard, who has been the subject of much trade talk. "If I go back to any team that I played for, it's all great situations for me as far as with management and with coaches. I never burned any bridges." The Sonics have much interest in Watson, who signed a five-year, $29 million deal in September. Watson said the Sonics were the first team to call him when he became a free agent, dialing him up at 12:01 a.m. on July 1. "I've got a lot of respect (for the SuperSonics)," Watson said. "I really owe that organization. They kind of paved the way for me. Any teams that drafts you and you play a lot your rookie year, you just owe them. It's kind of like a beginning. . . . You just respect them for that.'' </div> http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives...urn_to_seattle/
Well I'm not surprised, he joined a team that had probably the best starting/back-up point guard combination in the league in 2004/05, so a team with a fragile starter and Mateen Cleaves and Damien Wilkins sharing reserve duties probably looks pretty enticing, given the money he wanted before the season isn't going anywhere regardless.
