I disagree.   First, Ridnour will likely again be their starter 
(with Watson as backup) once he recovers from his broken nose 
and associated nose guard problems.    Delonte will mostly be utilized 
at SG.   Secondly, I would have preferred we had Delonte here now
instead of Rondo.   I think he would be a better fit.   And not to incite 
the list, but I think Danny would also agree with that.   

I have been holding this little tidbit back for a while, but I heard the 
following immediately upon the Allen trade and again a few 
weeks ago.   

Seattle originally wanted our pick, Delonte (as a SG) and Theo. 
But Danny wanted to send them our pick, Rondo and Wally, thus
holding on to Theo's expiring contract for a possible Garnett trade 
or cap benefit to us come next season.   Seattle thus compromised 
by accepting Wally's remaining two-year contract instead of
Theo, while Danny compromised by sending them Delonte 
instead of Rondo.
