Some NBA notes...

NO SHOPPING SPREE: Somewhere, we hope the family of Latrell Sprewell is not lined up at some soup kitchen.
Still no job in sight for Sprewell, who keeps being turned down by teams almost daily.
A couple of rumours sprung up this week that had Sprewell destined for the Atlanta Hawks and/or the Miami Heat.
"We're loaded at the wing positions and we really have no interest in Latrell Sprewell joining our team," said Hawk GM Billy King.
Same for Miami coach Stan Van Gundy.
"I don't know anything about it," he said of a report that had Sprewell's signing imminent. "That has not been anything that anyone has spoken to me about."

SUPER STINK: Take heart, Raptor fans.

Check out this blunt assessment of the Seattle SuperSonics from coach Bob Weiss this week, after a loss to Memphis.

"You saw the game. We stunk," said Weiss.

The Sonics are here Sunday to face the Raptors; someone will have to win. We think.

Seattle

Vladimir Radmanovic is sniping at coach Bob Weiss, the Sonics are routinely blown out and the only saving grace may be a game in Toronto on Sunday.

"Melvin Ely has a virtually new body, which has led to a new role with the Charlotte Bobcats. Makes you wonder if that will lead him to a new team come this summer. Ely is the most improved Bobcat. He also will be a restricted free agent in July. With the team committed to power forwards Emeka Okafor and Sean May, can it afford what Ely might draw on the open market? "I think it's premature to even discuss that" coach-general manager Bernie Bickerstaff said. "If it gets to that point, it's a pleasant problem to have."

That's great to hear about Ely, I've come to like him. He really started to show what he was made of when Okafor was out for a bit, and then now.
