Sonics Lose Daniels To Wizards 20th July, 2005 - 12:32 am
ESPN - The Seattle Supersonics have lost another member of their team to free agency.
Guard Antonio Daniels as decided to the Washington Wizards for a five-year $30 million deal. He instantly becomes the replacement for Larry Hughes.
Tony Dutt, Daniels' Houston-based agent, said his client will join the Wizards as soon as the moratorium on free-agent signings is lifted, which could be as soon as Friday, though it appears that it will be extended.
"The more we talked with Washington, we just felt very comfortable," Dutt said. "When Larry Hughes went to Cleveland, it just became a perfect fit for Antonio."
Losing Daniels is another hard blow to the Sonics as they have already lost their head coach Nate McMillan to Portland and center Jerome James to New York this offseason. [READ]

What is the deal with the Sonics? They are losing players left and right after they re-signed Ray. Of course, losing JJ and Antonio Daniels is no major catastrophe but the team is breaking up! Reggie Evans will be soon to follow. He can rebound!
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
I think a) there is a reason Nate left and b) there is a strange coincidence that Ray stayed.
I nominate him as this year's Kobe.
