Tacoma News Tribune - The agent for Vladimir Radmanovic said the disgruntled forward will give the Seattle Sonics “10 or 12 games” to figure out how to use him before they ask for a trade.
David Bauman, who is based in Washington, D.C., will meet with Radmanovic over the next two days while the Sonics are in town to play the Wizards. The two will discuss Radmanovic’s lack of playing time.
They will formulate a plan, Bauman said, but in no way will they accept the status quo.
“We are not prepared to go that (trade) route yet,” Bauman said. “But 10 or 12 games in, I think that is where decisions have to be made by both sides.
“At the end of the day, (a trade) may be an option. We are not going to play 15 minutes a game and stay in Seattle. That was never discussed this summer. That was not what we contemplated. And if that is what Bob Weiss thinks Vlade’s worth is, then he needs to tell (general manager) Rick Sund that Vlade is the odd man out.”
Bauman’s comments came after Radmanovic expressed his displeasure following Tuesday night’s loss at Memphis, a game in which Radmanovic played 20 minutes.
