Magic fans should just forget about Kurt Thomas. New info came out today by John Denton, that Sonics GM Sam Presti, originally wanted 3 first round picks AND the expiring contracts of Arroyo and Garrity for the 35 year old Kurt Thomas. Then the Sonics eventually lowered their demand to two first rounders, but there was no way Smith was giving up that collossal amount just for Thomas. Arroyo, Garrity and a 1st in 2009 was what Otis offered, but anything more was too much just to use him for the rest of the season.
But then Denton closed with this: "Is it any coincidence that Presti worked out deals on deadline day with his former employer (San Antonio) and Cleveland with his former Spurs front-office co-worker Danny Ferry, now the Cavs’ GM?"
