Sessions & Alexander of the Bucks for Conley of the Grizziles could possible go down soon. http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2009/jan/15/deal-or-no-deal/
What is a rumored trade idea? I don't understand how something could be a rumor and an idea at the same time... If it happens, it happens but the wording seems off.
why do we want a backup? LUKE RIDNOUR is starting over Sessions, doesnt that ring a bell to anybody here?
Maybe Ridnour, but he isnt much of a upgrade. Sessions is definately not better. Sessions doesnt have much of a shot, Ridnour does but hes too inconsistent and they both play in the East for a crappy team where they are given a green light to do whatever they want. They also have a dangerous shooter in Redd in the wings and Richard Jefferson to draw double teams. We have Yao with the double team but neither Artest nor TMac has been there enough for Rafer to get a good shot.
I like Sessions, but he's not coming to the Rox. I'm afraid Morey won't pull the trigger this season .
Ridnour shoots worse from the three then Rafer does. If we are going to get rid of Rafer, shouldnt it be for a guy who shoots better from long range then he does? More importantly, its not like Ridnour does anything leaps and bounds better then Rafer. Jason Kidd isnt great at the three ball either, but you know what he adds. I dont think Ridnour adds anything.
Ridnour is awful. Getting him would be a terrible idea. Sessions has had some solid games this year but he just isn't very good. Honestly, why in the world do you think they are better than Rafer? You chose probably the only team in the NBA with sorrier PGs than the Rockets.
This has got to be a joke. I might be convinced that it would be a lateral move but certaintly neither player is an upgrade to Rafer. Your Rockets' fandom is admirable but any time I read one of your posts I thank Christ that you have no control over our roster. Hate Rafer all you want - I certaintly grimmace any time he is looking for his shot - but it's laughable to think this team would be any better with Luke Freaking Ridnour on it.
Agreed. The only benefit Ridnour would bring in place of Alston is age. I like Ridnour and followed him religiously when I went to UO. He's shown flashes here and there but I thought he would've turned out to be a better pro.
He was overrated. A great workout session but his post game didnt translate to the NBA and his athleticsm that was superior in the college level was on par with the NBA
People should actually look up stats of players before they make judgements Both Ridnour and Sessions are better than Rafer......the ball don't lie. DD
I'm surprised Portland doesn't make a play on Conley AND Miles ;-) It'll reunite Conley with Oden and give them a way to avoid the luxury tax poison pill if Miles plays another game.
I've looked at the stats, watched Ridnour since he's been in the NBA and seen the Bucks a few times this season. Neither he nor Sessions would be better on the Rockets than Rafer. Neither is good and they make a lot of mistakes late in close games. You could argue that Sessions has the potential to get better in future years, but that's about it. Ridnour is probably a lost cause.
