Ray Allen is hoping that his GM Rick Sund pull off a coup this season, similar to the one Joe Dumars executed last season.  With the right deal, Allen believes that the Sonics could go all the way to a championship.

"If you think about Detroit adding Rasheed Wallace last season, it's a great chance they don't win without him," Allen said. "They were very proactive in trying to get better and win the championship.

"There's always a chance we could add somebody - if it makes us better to where we can win the championship. There's always guys who can help us out around the league that are on teams that won't be going to the playoffs.

"I hope that our management is thinking along those lines. If we could, then we definitely have to try it."
