It is believed Presti is close to naming a head coach and NBA sources say that former Sonics assistant and Minnesota coach Dwane Casey has emerged as the favorite. 目前还是 Dwane Casey 呼声最高。 The question for the Sonics is whether Carlesimo would be able to connect with the younger players. With Ray Allen gone and Lewis a free agent, the Sonics have just one player over 28 years old -- newly acquired swingman Wally Szczerbiak. 另一位热门人选 Carlesimo 被怀疑能否跟年轻人互道麻吉，毕竟现在球队最年长的 球员是３０岁的 Wally Szczerbiak。 Presti said the team is not pressed to hire a coach before summer league and the club could tab former assistant Ralph Lewis to run the club in Las Vegas while the search continues. But the new coach would probably want to see the younger players -- Kevin Durant, Jeff Green, Mickael Gelabale -- in game action before the preseason. With Wednesday being the Fourth of July and the team practicing this week to prepare for Friday's summer league opener against the Dallas Mavericks, the Sonics are likely to name a coach Monday or Tuesday. Presti 说球队目前还不急着在夏季联盟前确定教练，下周一或周二再揭晓答案。 -- Rashard Lewis The Sonics were the first team Lewis met with but they won't be the last. The Orlando Magic is expected to speak with the small forward Monday, while Houston Rockets GM Daryl Morey said the club wants Lewis to return to his Texas roots. 超音速是小路第一个面谈的球队，但後续还会跟其他队伍谈。火箭与魔术对他有兴趣。 Dutt told The Associated Press on Sunday that 20 teams contacted him about Lewis, but only three -- the Sonics, Milwaukee Bucks and Charlotte Bobcats -- could sign him without a sign-and-trade deal. 小路的经纪人说有２０队与他接触，不过当中只有山猫、公鹿还有超音速自己可以直接 签下他，其他队都必须要用先签後换。 Presti has to determine whether the Sonics need more new players on what is already expected to be a completely revamped roster. He said last week he wants to bring back Lewis to join Durant and Green in what could be a night- marish matchup for opposing teams. Presti 上礼拜说要以 Lewis、Durant、Green 打造一支令人闻风丧胆的球队。 The Sonics apparently left for Seattle without the two sides agreeing on an offer, but Lewis can't sign a contract until July 11. Because they are Lewis' original team, the Sonics can sign him to a six-year deal (others can offer only five) while giving him 10.5 percent increases each season (others can offer only 8 percent). 这一段是签约规定嘛？感觉上超音速要竞争 Lewis 还挺有利的。 --
