From Marc Stein's Weekend Dime : http://proxy.espn.go.com/nba/dailydime/_/page/dime-091126-27/ This probably won't crack the top-10 list of memories that haunt the minds of Sonics fans at night when they're longing for the team that traded Seattle for Oklahoma City starting with the 2008-09 season and keeps building so nicely around Kevin Durant. But I've been waiting for a reason to revisit the tale of Peter Fehse. The Sonics took Fehse with the 48th overall pick in the 2002 draft -- with no first-round picks that year and seven spots ahead of San Antonio's selection of Luis Scola at No. 55 -- largely because he was a blond 7-footer from Germany with (you guessed it) a perimeter game. Fehse, though, did not come close to becoming the next Dirk Nowitzki or even a poor man's Detlef Schrempf. He's endured an injury-plagued career and was essentially forgotten on these shores until earlier this week, when the Thunder sent Fehse's draft rights to Utah as part of a trade that netted the soon-to-expire contract of the retiring Matt Harpring and rookie point guard Eric Maynor. The Jazz, making this trade purely for payroll-slashing reasons, wanted Fehse because (A) Oklahoma City had to give them something to complete the deal and (B) they know Fehse will never play in the NBA and thus won't ever cost them a cent. How do we know Fehse, 26, has no NBA future? He's never logged even one national-team minute alongside Nowitzki … in a country that doesn't exactly have the depth to turn away NBA-caliber talent. The Sonics, at the time, said they learned of Fehse from Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni, who was coaching Benetton Treviso in those days and wanted to bring Fehse to Italy. D'Antoni, though, was hired by the Suns about a week before the Sonics made the pick. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.115.202.11
