That looks fairly normal to me. You can file them smooth, but I'm not a big fan of doing that. Personally, I would run that basket.

Use a quality flat file and go slow...works great and saves some cash!

A lot of time you can file the grooves back to a smooth surface, but if your not comfortable with this method go with a Barnett Billet Clutch Basket
