Contrary to a report in the Jerusalem Post, the Sonics are not close to signing rookie Israeli guard Yotam Halperin to a one-year deal.
The 6-5 shooting guard, who was taken in the second round of the draft (53rd overall), was tendered a standard non-guaranteed rookie contract, which allows Seattle to secure his NBA rights. It sounds like he’ll end up with the Sonics, but the deal is not done as some reports indicated in the last few days.
