Potential destinations for Ramon Sessions

[Soda]

Semi-related question. If, or when Sessions is traded who backs up the pg spot?

Please dont say Manny Harris or Boobie. They are 2's.

Does anyone feel like we could invite Ben Uzoh back for 10-15 minutes a night? Is there a deadline on signing players to 10 day contracts or for the rest of the season?

What are some other options?

It doesn't matter. Kyrie played 39 minutes last night, which means that the back-up PG would play a whopping 12 minutes, on average, per night. Uzoh is along the right line of thinking.

I'm guessing that was rhetorical, but I'm answering that anyways. Potentially he is a lot better. Worst case scenario he is slightly better. No way in hell he's worse.

He's 25 years old and in his 7th year in the league. At some point, you have to let go of the fact that he has all this potential. He pretty much is what he is at this point in his career.

Yeah that's a valid point. I still take him over Omri!

In case you missed it ... Lakers likely to "accelerate" pursuit of Cavs' Ramon Sessions over All-Star break, says Western Conference source.

To piggyback off MoFlo's point, who cares who the backup PG is for the rest of the season? Wins and losses this year are irrelevant.

Well in the process of building a championship team you might not want to waste opportunities, even if it's 10 minutes a night, to evaluate or develop players who may be able to help the team long term. I'm not saying Uzoh is that guy but why stop the search for a quality backup guard? Who backs up Kyrie DOES matter, to an extent for the well being and development and identity of the team.

One other thing to keep in mind. When Kyrie's on the floor he's not always playing PG. Because of his size, shooting ability, and the system Scott runs, we'll see Kyrie play SG at different points in games as long as Scott is the coach. In other words, you don't have to account for 10 minutes a game for a back-up, but at least 14-18 min or more depending on the lineups and match-ups in any given game. Everyone should know by know that Scott likes to play multiple PG's at the same time and usually carries three on the roster. He's done it his entire coaching career.

Lakers eye Beasley? 8:18 AM ET Michael Beasley | Timberwolves TopEmailComments 4
UPDATE: Charley Walters of Pioneer Press has had it confirmed that the Lakers do have interest in Michael Beasley.
The Wolves would probably prefer a pick over a player in return and that's something the Lakers could offer as they own two 2012 first round picks -- their own and the Mavericks.
Walters reports other teams have expressed interest in Beasley, too.
"I just play basketball, and if that happens, it happens, and I still play basketball," Beasley said. "For now, I'm a Timberwolf. I love my team and my coaches. If it's time for me to go, I have no control over that. I'm just playing the game and keeping my mouth shut."

Great. I bet LA gives Minnesota both first round picks for Beasley and we get stuck with Sessions.

Sessions fills a much larger need for them then Beasely....can't think their GM is dumb enough to give two first rounders for him.

 

[RonG]

I would do metta and 2 firsts for Sessions and Hollins. Buy out metta and move along.

I don't know, Barnes and Metta are pretty bad.

With rumors of a 3 team deal between the Lakers, Raptors, and Magic, I feel that our window to trade Sessions for a 1st is rapidly shrinking. We need to pull a trigger somewhere now.

Hit the pause button and step back from the ledge. This is your first trade deadline on this site I'm assuming. Things are way, way too early yet. The NBA is in entering smokescreen mode now and it's going to get worse. There was also another report where the Magic were not interested in Bynum.

Everybody has agendas this time of the year.

That right there is hilarious. If ppl only knew how much we've been through.

If we trade Sessions for Marvin Williams instead of a 1st round pick...I will not be pleased.
