http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/37462/20051004/sonics_re_sign_reggie_evans/ Evans would have been a great signing after yesterdays trade and he would have made a great signing even before then but oh well, the Sonics finally smartened up and signed him back up.
Press Release - Seattle SuperSonics General Manager Rick Sund announced today that Reggie Evans has signed a one-year qualifying offer to remain with the Sonics.
“We’re thrilled to have one of the top rebounders in the NBA back in a Sonics uniform this season,” said Sund. “Reggie is a tenacious rebounder and he has always found a way to have an impact on the court. He’s like a bulldog around the boards.”
Last season, Evans’ third in the NBA, he averaged 4.9 points and a career-high 9.3 rebounds in 79 games. Evans, who was not drafted by an NBA team, signed with Seattle as a free agent on Sept. 30, 2002.
In a related move, the Sonics requested waivers on swingman Omar Thomas (Texas El-Paso).

he's a good fit off the bench with Frye and Curry already in place. I think Malik Rose can have a real role on this team now also
Rose will barely get minutes behind Antonio Davis
I disagree. Larry played ALOT of guys on the Pistons, there were about 10-11 guys on that roster that averaged over 10 minutes a game. I think Rose is going to be an EXCELLENT role player for this team.
