We look forward to seeing you at the NBA Draft Party and Sonics 40th Anniversary tip-off event!
I'd doubt they'd be having a draft party if they were just using their 2 second round picks. A lot of rumors have been swirling around that the sonics will trade their first rounder for a veteran PF, but it seems that they'll likely keep this one now.
