The Sonics and Vladimir Radmanovic are negotiating financial terms for him to return next season, but they are also discussing what role he'll play if he rejoins the team. "If he stays with Seattle, he's going to be a starter," David Bauman, who represents Radmanovic, told the Seattle Times. "If there's any doubt or question about that, then they should trade him ... We're asking for starter money, and we anticipate that he'll be a starter.

Last season, in 29.5 minutes, Radman averaged 11.8 points and 4.6 rebounds. His agent, however, is under the impression he'll score 17 and knock down 8 boards if he plays 5.5 minutes more, which must be the league minimum for starters… Radman is a decent all-around player, but chances are he won't give you huge numbers or a full season.

Radman is not a bad player, but few teams could use him as a starter. Maybe the Hawks.
