• Seattle native Doug Christie participated in pickup games with several Sonics at the team's training facility this week. Guard Jermaine Jackson also played with the team, and both could be added to Seattle's training-camp roster. The team has 14 players under contract.

Hmmmm, whatta think? Could the Supes use Christie this season? IF so, would you want him on the team?

Um, there's no point. Like Barkley said, you don't get better by being out of the league.

Could be the stupidest signing of all time. 37 now? Plays in the positions we are strongest at.

It would be a laugh seeing him doing his stupid signal to his wife though.

We don't have a shooting guard.

Yeah, pretty much no point in picking up Christie or Jackson. Christie is definitely done and Jackson wasn't good to begin with. Just let the young guys play.

I'd like to see Durant given a go at SG. Even Wally would be a better SG at this stage than Christie IMO. Plus I always thought Christie was more a SF than SG.

Yes this is a good point. I was thinking no to Christie but then thinking about it, a vet SG might just be what we need. He should still be a decent defender. I would take him.

Christie was a pretty good defender, wasn't he? With our new team focus on defense, he could be a helpful veteran to add to the team. It would be a matter of finding minutes for him to play.
It sounds like he is in shape. We could invite him to camp and check him out.
