While other teams in the Western Conference were trading Hall of Famers and signing big name free-agents, the Sonics had an inactive summer.  Letting Brent Barry leave and sign with the Spurs and acquiring Danny Fortson via trade were their only newsworthy stories.

According to a team source, they do plan on resigning Ray Allen to a longterm contract.  Allen will be an unrestricted free-agent after this season and there has been rampant discussion in Seattle whether he warrants a maximum contract.  

Allen's agent, Lon Babby, is currently negotiating contract terms with Sonics general manager Rick Sund.
