Sterling is thinking well if Baron cant fill sit, maybe we need to sign AI, or maybe try a new system where we play pgs and they can go out there and do And1 tricks. Note to Sterling: You win you fill sits!
Unless Sessions is going to develop a 3 point shots, what is the point of having 2 point guards that cant even hit a wide open 3? Now if u are trying to swap Lowry for Sessions, this deal would be a upgrade for us, but still not that big of an upgrade because Lowry play better def. Sessions is a good point guard, but we already have 2 great young point guard. Upgrade another spots on our roster is more important
Sterling's lust for Iverson has nothing to do with basketball and everything to do with ticket sales. It is likely that Iverson's presence would increase ticket sales by an amount greater than his salary. He apparently doesn't care, however, that Iverson's presence will also be counter-productive to the team's success. As for Sessions, the Clips actually want a young understudy to Baron who can step in and start whenever B-Diddy is (inevitably) injured. Plus, Sessions could wind up the starter in LA if/when Baron gets too old or is traded (sooner or later).
Yeah out of all the things that could happen in the offseason, if we could somehow swap Landry for Sessions I would be a very happy man. Then we could turn around and trade Brooks and someone else for a big. Sessions Ariza Battier Scola/Dorsey Dorsey/Andersen (New big possibly from Clippers, Kaman, Camby)
why do guys want a different pg every year??? wow be happy with what the Rockets have. Brooks/Lowry are a great combo. Deal with it.
Maybe because we don't know what we want and why we want them. This is why we can't have nice things. We always want more and more.
Sessions could be had if we really want him in my opinion. New York is the only other team in play for him right now considering Clippers got Telfair. We can offer better quality in a sign and trade, Morey should be all over this. We would be upgrading defensively in a big way. Dorsey at PF would be a defensive upgrade to Landry who could be used in the trade. Dorsey at PF makes up for Andersen's lack of defense. Sessions is much bigger than Brooks and better defensively and can take it to the rack. This would really make the Rockets fun to watch this year, for some reason I don't get excited watching Aaron Brooks play, I'd rather have a play maker and good passer.
Hey everyone that is Rocket's staff, what do you think the chances of Morey going after Sessions are? Is he even interested?
Morey obviously doesn't think Brooks is the point guard of the future or else he wouldn't have tried so hard to trade Brooks for Rubio! Half the trade discussion this offseason has involved Brooks and I think it's a matter of time till we see him go. It is pretty clear that Daryl doesn't believe Brooks is will raise this team to the next level.
I agree. This has the potential to be a great PG combo; but for some the grass will always be greener somewhere else.
Well the Knicks are prepared to possibly offer the full MLE to Sessions... The Bucks won't match it Bucks fans are pissed on the RealGM board right now http://www.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=930927 Did the rockets make the right move by getting Ariza or should they have waited for Sessions? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- There were strong indications Thursday night that the New York Knicks were assembling the final details of an offer sheet they believe will ultimately land Milwaukee Bucks restricted free agent Ramon Sessions. Terms of the proposed deal were not immediately available, but NBA front-office sources told ESPN.com that the Bucks were indeed bracing for the offer sheet and also more likely to pool the free-agent cash they're prepared to spend this summer to try to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers to the signature of athletic power forward Hakim Warrick rather than matching what's coming to Sessions from the Knicks. One trusted source insists that the Knicks believe they can extend Sessions far enough to dissuade Milwaukee from matching but without affecting their well-chronicled strategy to leave enough salary-cap space to recruit one maximum-salaried free agent in the summer of 2010. An offer sheet to a restricted free agent must be for at least two years, but it remains unclear how much of New York's $5.9 million mid-level exception Sessions would receive. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/columns/story?columnist=stein_marc&page=Chatter-090730
Ok, let's think about that one. - Milwaukee loves Sessons but it looks like they'll have to let him go because they can't take on the extra salary. - To get Sessions in a sign and trade, Milwaukee would have to sign Sessions and then trade him to us while taking back at least 75% of his new salary in return. - So, if Milwaukee can't afford to pay Sessions ,who they very much want to keep, then how would they suddenly be able to take on extra salary to pay Landry and whatever else they received to match salaries? If they were able to take on extra salary then they'd just resign Sessions. - Top that all off with the fact that a resigned Sessions will almost surely be a BYC player which further complicates things.
No. Why would Ramon Sessions want to come to Houston and duke it out with Aaron Brooks and Kyle Lowry for the starting PG position, when he could go to New York, instantly be named the starter, and rake in whatever endorsement dollars he can get by being the starting PG on the New York Knicks? Sure, the Knicks suck, but the combination of playing opportunity, economic considerations, lifestyle, and glory are likely too much for the young kid to pass up. Better to have signed Ariza quickly and gotten a (future backup) center with a portion of the MLE.
True. Continuity is important. Give Brooks and Lowry the opportunity to excel in the system. after a year of adjusting to a system, the true games of both players should come out.
It wont be that easy to get players like that. Plus he will have plenty of offers from other teams and remenber...free agents hates the Rockets.
