The 2002-03 NBA season was the SuperSonics' 36th season in the NBA.[1] The season is notable for trading Gary Payton and Desmond Mason to the Milwaukee Bucks in exchange for Ray Allen. More changes continued as Kenny Anderson, who was acquired from Boston before the start of the season was traded to the New Orleans Hornets for Elden Campbell, who spent only half of the season with the Sonics. Campbell left the team at the end of the season and he later signed with the Detroit Pistons, where he won a championship. The Sonics, now led by newly acquired Allen, finished the year at 40-42, missing the playoffs.
Before the trade, Payton was named to play in the All-Star Game for the final time in his career.
