And NBA sources said the Sonics have renewed interest in former Sonic Earl Watson, who is in the first year of a five-year deal with the Denver Nuggets. The Sonics had interest in Watson in December, but they would need to trade players whose salaries come within 15 percent of Watson's $5 million salary. Forward Reggie Evans has requested a trade, but he only makes $1.1 million. Seattle would love to deal Danny Fortson, but his $6.4 million salary that increases to $6.9 million next season is likely to scare off many teams. "In a perfect world, you want a consistent backup point guard," Hill said. "There are a bunch of them out there but getting them is hard."
