Sonics general manager Sam Presti addressed the media at the team's practice facility Thursday and did nothing to dispel rumors that head coach P.J. Carlesimo's job may be in jeopardy. Presti said he and Carlesimo would sit down and evaluate the roster and coaching staff, but the GM did not come close to saying Carlesimo will coach the Sonics next season. While it was widely assumed Carlesimo had a long leash during the reclamation project, his status is uncertain.

The only thing I like about Carlesimo is the look on his face when he talks to the camera. It's like he smelled a fart or something.

Oh yeah... and fire his ass so he can go back to commentating.

They don't have to fire him ....... just hire Latrell Sprewell as an assistant!

I like the Sprewell ideal

So fire PJ and exactly hire who?? I hate these kinds of reporting. it isn't like the market is flooded with great genuis coaches!! I hate PJ, but he is a decent coach. Given the youth and the circumstances of seattle, PJ is their best bet for now. Unless they want to go the NYK route. Isiah is always available!!!

Keep PJ...NO he isnt HOF coach but who is....Seattle has a young team, the owner just p.o.ed he fan base, and they play in the West....how good you want them to be???

Oklahoma City gets the Sonics? Maybe they'll rename the team the "Bombers". How about the "Okie Dokie's"?
What NBA player is going to want to play in that hayseed town? More importantly, who is going to want to watch them on the road. Just wait 'til when of their players gets pulled for drunk driving with a white woman in the car!

With the recent addition of Latrel Sprewell a message may have been sent to P.J. Carlisimo.
