Back to back losses for the Lakers
One to the Wizards other to the Pistons :chuckles:
Ramon Sessions value is going up, up, and away!

I hope we suck the life out of the Lakers and nab both 2012 first-round picks from them somehow. I'd be willing to take on a bad contract to do that, too.
And I wish I was a pretty ballerina, dancing on the moon.
I wonder if people would be able stomach Sessions for Luke Walton plus the Lakers first rounder. We would be taking on Walton 5.7 million deal for next year so that would eat up some capspace but it's only for a year. I think because the Lakers not only don't take any salay on but actually save some money they would seriously consider this type of deal but not something using Odom's trade exception

Sessions Out In Cleveland?: The word is the Cleveland Cavaliers are ready to trade Ramon Sessions.
This one was somewhat obvious considering Sessions has an opt-out in his deal and has made no secret that he’ll use it this summer to try and land a better deal.
The Cavs were holding on to Ramon in part as insurance for rookie guard Kyrie Irving, but given that the Cavs are now 14-23 on the season and 4 games out of the playoff picture, the writing is on the wall. The Cavs have lost seven of their last ten games and 11 of their last 17 and seem ready to take care of business.
Sources close to the situation say the Cavs are not looking for much in return for Sessions and would rather have a draft pick and a roster spot than a cap filler type player.
The Lakers are considered the front runner for Sessions, although the Lakers still have their eye on a bigger fish like Orlando’s Dwight Howard or Boston’s Rajon Rondo – although both are extreme longshots.
Once it becomes clear that the major piece the Lakers are targeting cannot be obtained, moving on a Sessions deal seems likely, unless someone else swoops in with a better offer for the Cavs which is always possible in the march to the deadline.
According to Hoopsworld (yeah I know) the Cavs do not want to take any players back for Ramon:

Having an extra roster spot would be beneficial for many reasons. One is because we wouldn't be taking on any additional salary in return. Another is because we could use that roster spot to take on more players in other trades. Another is our total salary would actually be lower not only in the off season, but right now, meaning we would be more able to take on salary in trades and more easily be able to fit into trades with other teams. In order to not take back any players, I don't see how we could do it other than by the Lakers using part of their TPE or a TPE is created through the trade somehow. Would that mean we have a TPE of 4-5 million to use?
When push comes to shove and Howard doesn't go to LA, the Lakers would probably take that deal too, and then we could turn around and possibly make more trades.
The fact that the Lakers pulled the Odom deal and then refused the TWolves Beasley deal means they don't want to pay ANY additional salary.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Atlanta Hawks are two teams rumored to have interest in Sessions. The Minnesota Timberwolves, fighting for a Western Conference playoff spot, might also be calling the Cavaliers after the season-ending knee injury to point guard Ricky Rubio.
In one proposed deal the Cavaliers would receive Jonny Flynn from Houston, the Rockets would get a first round pick from the Lakers while Los Angeles would get future considerations from Houston along with Ramon Sessions from Cleveland.
