If accurate the Sonics' 28-year-old (on Aug. 8) All-Star (2005) has two guaranteed years ($10,129,870 and $10,909,091) remaining on an agreement signed five years ago when he was represented by Kevin Poston.

Fastened to that stipulation is a five-day grace period; hence. June 5 was the cut-off go out. Late May reports (AP/ESPN) out of Houston where Lewis lives in the offseason quoted Dutt saying he'd officially alerted the Sonics in writing on Friday. May 25 (or maybe Saturday.
