MOST VALUABLE PLAYER
After a start in which he was shooting a career-low field goal percentage, Ray Allen finished the season incredibly strong. In fact, he had a career year, averaging 25.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists.

MOST DISAPPOINTING PLAYER
Vladimir Radmanovic, who turned down $42 million over the summer, never could seem to get past that, whining about playing time, being divisive on the court and in the locker room and never having a positive affect. Eventually, both sides had enough and they mutually agreed to go through with a trade to the Los Angeles Clippers.

FREE AGENT FOCUS
The team's only real free agents are Chris Wilcox and Mike Wilks. Wilcox is restricted, and the Sonics have little choice but to keep him. He emerged as the third scorer they were seeking all season and has shown he can be a force on an uptempo team like the Sonics. The team would like to keep Wilks as a third guard, but if they don't it will have little effect.

PLAYER NOTES

--Danny Fortson says he would like to be traded before next season. If not, he has insinuated he would make it difficult for the Sonics by misbehaving.

--Fortson will make $6.9 million next season. The Sonics will not buy out Fortson because if his knee is not fully healed, then insurance pays 80 percent of Fortson's salary.

--Luke Ridnour will compete for a spot on the Olympic team in July.
