    oops I forgot to mention how many rebounds sessions got cos I thought he'd get like 2 defensive rebounds per game, turns out in his last 3 games he got 7.8.6 rebounds in each of those games respectively...

    and hes a rookie

    he's amazing.. but you really cant take out the factor that those several games has minimal level of contentions coz both teams are out of playoff pictures... hope Bucks make a dumb decision and we acquire him in the off season

    Bogut wants him there next season. Also Sessions isn't a free agent just has a non-guaranteed contract.

    Isn't he a restricted free agent? He was like the 58th pick last year so he should be a restricted FA. I really hope the Rockets pick him up in the off season, he's won a game with 0.1s left(1.1sec on the inbound), and yeah lol anyways can we get him in return for like chuck hayes or something

    I think its a long shot to get a big time free agent.

    1. We don't have any cap space.

    2. We only have our MLE. Big free agents demand more.

    3. We still need to sign Landry.

    4. S&T is the only way but we'd have to give up some players.

    5. Expiring contracts(for next year) are NOT an asset when it comes to free agents.


    Our best bet is to pull off a big time midseason trade before the trade deadline. :)

    Corey Maggette

    or Josh Smith would be awesome additions! After seeing Josh Smith in work against the Celtics, I'm in love with his game, he has been pretty good this whole series with Boston.

    I rather Maggette, but I would welcome Josh Smith with open arms.

    Why would you want to keel Carl?

    What did he do to you?

    Remember the commandment....thou shall not keel?

    Come on, man, don't do it !

    I wish we could somehow lure Mike Miller from Memphis, after the Gasol trade i think they could be stupid enough to do that.

    Those are contradictory statements. We can S&T with a team using our expirings. This could get us a good player. We can use part of our MLE on Landry and the rest on a decent role player. With Yao coming back we would have upgraded plenty. I don't know if we'll do that but they are possibilities.

    Landry's injury devalues him significantly, he just hasn't been the same since except in small moments. We shouldn't overpay for him.

    That's like trading a TE for an expiring contract.

    couldn't TMac restructure his contract similar to what Duncan did this year to give the team more cap space?
