Well, it certainly can't hurt us.

In the first place, Payton has been the Sonics franchise for years. Which means any rising young star can look at how they treat Payton and see how they are going to be treated when the end of their career is in sight.

In the second place, an unhappy Payton will make the Sonics lockerroom hellish next year.

And if he's not in the lockerroom, Seattle is joining Denver at the bottom of the Western barrel next year.
