The other two players are Ronald Murray and Damien Wilkins, who came off the bench for the Sonics this past season when the club won 52 games and the Northwest Division title.</div> Full Story courtesy of ESPN.
Murray coming back to Seattle = Ray Allen gone?..I read somewhere on this site[some user posted about talkin to JJ]..that Ray Allen didn't like to play alongside Flip.

I suppose if Allen bolts they may resign him but really I think they are just holding as many cards as they can so that maybe we can get a couple 2nd rounders or something for Flip.
They are just covering all bases, nothing more and nothing less. Remember, just because they make a guy restricted, doesn't mean they are obligated to match offers.
I'm getting the impression that we are going to do everything possible to keep Damien Wilkins on the roster next season. I'm interested in seeing the numbers for these proposed extensions for Flip and Damien. Flip would be a fool to come back, but in the event that both Nate and Ray don't resign I'd be estatic to see him come back. Otherwise it's time for him to set the league on fire on another roster, preferably one w/ a need for a combo guard.
