Danny Fortson Talks Retirement

See what you've done, Jerry Colangelo and Bob Hill and Eric Musselman?

Danny Fortson is thinking about retiring at season's close because, well, everyone hates him.
Once his $6.5 million contract expires in July, the Sonics will likely redirect those funds towards [Rashard] Lewis. Fortson likely will be forced into retirement. At times he says he wants to continue a turbulent 10-year-career, but admits that he has alienated many GMs and coaches.
Yeah, suing an NBA owner might shorten your list of possibilities.

Truth is: Fortson hasn't been effective on the court in years. He's a vicious rebounder at 6'8 and he scares the living hell out of opponents, but he's foul/turnover machine. Add in his locker room issues, and he's just not worth it.

We'll miss him, though, because he's an absolute riot. TNT, anyone?
