Sonics lose free-agent guard Antonio Daniels to Wizards By Percy Allen Seattle Times staff reporter PREV煺?span id="ImageNumber">漑f?span id="TotalImages">煺?a href="javascript:ChangeImage('1');">NEXT ROD MAR / THE SEATTLE TIMES Antonio Daniels won an NBA title with the San Antonio Spurs in 1999 The Sonics lost another key contributor to last season's team when guard Antonio Daniels agreed to a five-year, $30 million deal with the Washington Wizards last night. Daniels and his agent Tony Dutt each confirmed the deal this morning. A source with the Sonics said yesterday the team was prepared to lose its backup point guard, who spent the past two seasons in Seattle. He averaged career highs in points (11.2) and assists (4.1) last season.p> The Sonics were willing to give Daniels their mid-level exception of $5 million per year, but they were unwilling to go beyond three years primarily because of his age (30) and nagging knee problems last season. Daniels, the top point guard on the free-agent market, also drew serious consideration from Utah, the Los Angeles Lakers and Portland. He's expected to sign the contract Friday when the NBA lifts its moratorium on free-agent signings. Since the end of their 52-30 season, the Sonics moved quickly to retain All-Star guard Ray Allen, who agreed to a five-year, $80 million deal, but they lost coach Nate McMillan to Portland and center Jerome James to New York. The Sonics' focus now turns to restricted free agent Vladimir Radmanovic. They can match any deal he receives from another team and have extended a five-year proposal worth an estimated $30 million to $36 million. 平均一年6.7百万 祝福他吧 --
