seattle will make the play offs this year. no problem
they lost a antonio daniels, which is actually not as big a loss as it would have been last year, although he added grit and penetration for when ridnour needed to sit.
and they lost jerome james, a high fouling, low rebounding/scoring 7 foot semi overweight center. the rest of the team they kept. allen, lewis, radmonovic, evans, ridnour, collison and wilkens. the last 3 which we havent even seen their peak production yet.
the sonics are still a force to be reckoned with, but the new head coach they will have trouble reaching the 50plus wins they got last year (i bet they still win atleast 47 games this season though).
edit - btw this is in response to the playoff predictions
