Apparently grunge music and over-priced coffee are not enough to keep Vitaly Potapenko's interest. The Seattle Times reported on Thursday that the center has asked his agent, David Bauman, to request a trade away from the Emerald City because of his lack of playing time. Potapenko has played in only 11 games this season.

Potapenko was a starter for the Sonics last season, but they were also only 24-26 at the All-Star break. Now they are 35-15 at the break and he hasn't seen the enough court time to have this year count towards his pension. Is it a coincidence? We'll let you decide. Vitaly clearly doesn't fit in with the up-temp style of this year's team, so the Sonics will likely send him packing if can get anything of value for him.
