The Seattle SuperSonics are sitting pretty with the No. 2 overall pick in the NBA draft, but the team still has an offer on the table to improve its draft position.
The primary deal that remains on the table is trading point guard Luke Ridnour to the Atlanta Hawks for the No. 11 pick, which could be used on Eastern Washington standout Rodney Stuckey. According to sources, the deal remains alive while the Hawks figure out a way to make a bigger deal using the No. 3 and No. 11 picks.

...why would Atlanta do this? Seattle is probably the only team that Ridnour would have been starting for last year. He had to be one of the lowest-producing point guards out there, among players who regularly started games. The Hawks could do much better by using that pick on someone else.
