Horace Grant Sonics Jersey
In 1999, in a typically brilliant move by Wally Walker, the Sonics traded first-round pick Corey Maggette for Horace Grant, who stuck with the team for one season. He averaged 8.1 points and 7.8 rebounds, but more importantly helped a young Mike Seely feel secure about his decision to wear goggles on the basketball court.
