The Sonics will not conduct a massive audition for the single spot open on the roster and will bring just one player to training camp who does not have a guaranteed contract.
Jermaine Jackson, 31, a 6-foot-5 guard, will join Seattle on Tuesday when camp begins with the hopes of resurrecting a journeyman NBA career. Signed as a free agent in Detroit in 1999, he's played with five teams in five years. His final stop was with Milwaukee during the 2005-06 season.
"Our focus in camp is going to be on teaching and [coach] P.J. [Carlesimo] implementing his system," general manager Sam Presti said. "We feel like our group needs those reps, and that's where we're going to spend our energy and our time."
The 15-man training roster: guards Luke Ridnour, Earl Watson, Delonte West and Jackson; forwards Nick Collison, Mickael Gelabale, Kevin Durant, Jeff Green, Wally Szczerbiak, Kurt Thomas, Chris Wilcox and Damien Wilkins; centers Johan Petro, Mouhamed Sene and Robert Swift.
