Warrior Sonic expected

Posted by Jayda Evans

No, the Sonics haven't made a trade, yet. Instead, Sonics F Wally Szczerbiak is expecting his first son with wife Shannon. Her C-section is scheduled for March 1 and Szczerbiak is going to be in New York, possibly missing the beginning of the Sonics' seven-game road trip, to be with his family.

Szczerbiak, 30, has been carrying the name of his son, Maximus, around since 2000 when his favorite movie "Gladiator" was released. Since the child will have to deal with a lot of "Zs" and "Xs," Szczerbiak said the middle name will be something easier.

"Like Jack," he joked with media after practice today.

The Sonics wouldn't have a problem, because Gelabale is coming back to be the shooting guard. That said, the Sonics might be interested to experiment with an all tall team; that is, Gelabale(6'7") at point, Durant at shooting guard (6'9"), Green at small forward (6'9"), Wilcox at power forward (6'10") and Petro at center (7'0")! No player smaller than 6'7" and with height advantage. Petro's backup is 7'1" Robert Swift, Wilcox backup is Thomas, Green backup is Collison, Durants backup the coach's decision and Watson and Ridnour to handle the rest! Its a nice tall combination for the team like Rockets, Pistons or the Jazz!
