Allen, Lewis, etc... I report this only because it gives me an excuse to haul out the greatest NBA quote of all time—which took place in the wake of some significant trade action eons ago.

Thx for putting a pic of the flying fro. The doc has no equals.

Gee, the Sonics are going to be great in 5 years when they're playing in OC. At least, we're not paying for an arena.
