Luke Ridnour and Nick Collison have been a package deal since the Sonics selected them 12th and 14th in the 2003 draft.

Keeping them together beyond the 2006-07 season, however, might be extremely difficult.

General manager Rick Sund has had preliminary discussions with each about a contract extension and he will likely make them long-term offers in a few weeks, but the chances of both of them re-signing are slim.
