If the Seattle SuperSonics and their talent-laden roster continue to struggle and the rumors of coach Bob Weiss’ early demise come to fruition, don’t be surprised if former Cavs coach Paul Silas emerges as a potential mid-season replacement. Silas, a well-liked former Sonics player, had some contact with the Sonics when they were looking for a replacement for Nate McMillan last summer.
Silas is currently a studio analyst for ESPN and is paid $8 million by the Cavs over this season and next.
