I was a bit disappointed when Gary Payton and the Sonics ended their 13-year association, but I have gotten over it. It's probably just a honeymoon period, but since arriving at Key Arena, Ray Allen has the tidy figures of 24.8 ppg, 8.0 rpg and 9.0 rpg including a 29,10,10 triple-double against the Lakers yesterday.
 
They`re both playing well with their new teams and no doubt check the box scores to see how the other is doing. A healthy rivalry to push each other along.

From a Seattle point of view, the concensus was that the Bucks got the best of the deal, but they`d have no complaints so far with Ray "triple double" Allen!
 
Desmond Mason is a worthy compliment to Michael Redd off the bench, though.

And besides Gary's little push and shove with Tinsley, he seems to have fitted in well.

In saying that, Ray has actually kept fairly quiet and has just got the job done with little unnecessary fuss - something that may help his development.

Actually he has had a bit of a whinge. Talked about how he loves to rebound and pass (shot at George Karl) and how he was drafted earlier than Kobe and is as good as him. Still, he`s backing it up where it counts atm.

Bucks have slipped from 7th to 9th in the East. The Sonics have won 4 straight and are actually still in the playoff hunt. Considering how Phoenix and Houston are going, Golden State on a 5 game winning streak and Seattle on a 4 game winning streak have pulled ever closer to a playoff berth.

Maybe it wasnt such a bad deal after all for the Sonics.
