AP (SEATTLE) - Rumors out of Seattle have Sonics GM Hoyo de Monterrey attending a charity function in Dallas recently. While the Sonics brass claims it's nothing more then a show of good faith, a source close to the team says there may be negotiating involved.
"We doin' s---!" said Sonics Vice President In Charge Of Being Gary Payton, Gary Payton. "Aww yeah!"
The Sonics also announced the hiring of Jack Sikma, Bob Cousy, and Dave Cowens as assistants to fill out head coach Tom Heinsohn's staff. Cowens has also been granted an immediate eight week leave of absence, citing "burnout."
"Well, Cowens is here to drive the team bus," said Payton. "You seen this man drive? He was a cabbie in Boston for awhile, and this man don't signal for no one. He knows how to move."
