I remember the day Shawn Kemp said he'd NEVER wear a Supersonics uniform again. It was after Wally Walker gave an outrageous contract to Jim McClivane. IIRC, Kemp had been told for some time he'd be getting a new contract, and he took offense of the organization taking care of an outsider before himself.
I have to wonder if Seattle's kind of in the same boat.
Especially (and almost exclusively) defensively, they're alot of players playing under VERY modest rookie/UDFA contracts. And, there's a real sense of family between all of them. I have to wonder if a Revis, Avril, Dockett (for example) coming in with a hefty contract would subconsciously have players saying "umm, that aint right". Especially on a team which sucked, got better, and became a legit together.
