Payton and Karl get along well together. I don't follow basketball very closely, but I wouldn't take free tickets to a Sonics game right now--they suck. I was expecting Payton to be traded, but I was stunned that they let Mason go along with him. Losing both of them for Allen, an old guy, and another guy who's seen 9 teams in 6 years doesn't leave me feeling like Seattle got the best of it. My favorite Sonic player of all time is the coach now. Payton comes in a distant second. And why dump Kenny Anderson? I hope Payton can get himself a ring. Through the years here, he rarely whined and complained. Having to sit through Griffey, The Big Unit, and Shawn Kemp was painful. I wanted to see those three fall flat on their faces. Two out of three ain't bad...
