Ridnour, another 3 years in Seattle

By Jill Woods

The Seattle SuperSonisc extended for another three years a contract for $19.5 million to Luke Ridnour, who would be able to earn $5 million in incentives.

The team already made the announcement but they will have until Tuesday to sign the player for the extension, otherwise the player could become a restricted free agent at the end of this season even though the deal will keep him in Seattle during the 2009-10 season.  

It seems as Ridnour and the team are very happy with the agreement. The player seemed really honest when he talked about the responsibility he got and how compromised he is with them.    

Just as an important note he averaged a career-high 11.5 points and 7.0 assists last season, his second as the Sonic starting point guard.

The Ridnour average in three seasons has been 9.2 points and 5.2 assists, the player is part of the US national team, but did not play at the past World Championship.

As too many people know the SuperSonics were on sale process during the past few days and because of this reason the previous owners also had to sign also the deal.
