THE BENEFACTOR
Just confirmed by KJR...
The Seattle SuperSonics have traded Calvin Booth to the Dallas Mavericks for Danny Fortson.
All together now...
HAAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAAAHAAAAA!!!!!
I know who the benefactor in this deal is, and it's not Mark Cuban.
Initial discussion on KJR says that the starting lineup for the Sonics next year consists of this...
PG - Luke Ridnour
SG - Ray Allen
SF - Rashard Lewis
PF - Danny Fortson
C - Vitaly Potapenko
Long story short, Rashard doesn't have to worry about rebounding anymore. Also, Vlad Radmanovic...he's gotta be on his way out or something, because they've got to decide between Rashard and Vlad, and they can't have both.
But hey, they finally got someone who can clean the glass.
The quote from Sonics GM Rick Sund...
Don't get us wrong here, the Sonics still won't be that good, but at least someone will be able to freakin' rebound on this team.
[Edit ~1:16p -- KJR just had one of their regular updates, along with a Kevin Calabro radio clip. After the clip played, Dick Fain said that it was the only Calvin Booth highlight he could find, and it was only Calvin Booth setting a screen for a Ray Allen layup against Cleveland.]

The quote from Sonics GM Rick Sund...
We're very happy to have Danny on board as part of our front court. In an effort to improve our rebounding, the addition of Danny, coinciding with Nick Collison returning from his injury, will enhance our physical toughness and defense. Ever since Danny came into the league he has been among the league leaders in rebounds per minute. His rebounding skills will help us tremendously.
