It won't happen cause what Morey sets his eyes on he gets. He's got the EYE OF THE TIGER! That would be ridiculous though I already hate em for taking BR before we got a chance to snag him and they keep jippin these Mid West teams to swap trash players for treasure, referring to the Aldridge/Thomas trade & Roy/Foye trade. UUUURRRGGGGHHHHH!!!! That would hurt.
Aaron is more comfortable as a starter,but he is a scorer. If he comes off the bench,it will make things harder for him. Sessions being a natural PG should be a starter on the Rockets(hypothetically speaking). Aaron would have to play as a 2 guard who can pass along side with him. This would cause us a lot of problems defensively. I don't see the Bucks giving up on Ramon,although it might get difficult for them with possible LT implications. OTOH,they might retain Ridnour and trade Sessions to get help for Redd. In any case,I don't think the Rockets have the resources to obtain him. The Bucks aren't likely to go after Ron and/or Wafer.
Good PGs are hard to find, and Milwaukee is going to match any reasonable offer that Sessions receives.
I like sessions a lot. Watched him a lot on league pass and he's a natural pg, but here is the problem. When u have a natural pg and u have yao, u take away the pg's biggest assett which is ball handling and decision making. So now, u turn sessions into a spot up shooter. Now if Yao expands his game to the ft line and feels confident in the baseline pop game, cool. Also with sessions, u need play finishers moreso than guys who try to create their own shot. I doubt the rox would get him and is even more doubtful he fits what they try to do from the guard position.
Maybe as part of a sign and trade, as a package along with Redd and possibly Gadzuric, for Lowry and TMac? If Milwaukee is looking to dump salary, that is.
Like I said, I read a meaningless comment on YouTube that stated Portland may take a run at him on draft day. Everybody knows they are looking for a PG. The only thing is Sessions reminds me a lot of Jerryd Bayless in terms of his physical attributes and the fact that his biggest weakness is his outside shot. I'm not sure if Bayless is as good of a playmaker but getting Sessions would likely stunt Bayless' development. They are both young, talented players who will want starters minutes sooner or later. I would think Portland would be better suited to get a vet like Andre Miller who is approaching the end of his career so Bayless can take over eventually.
Being a RFA Sessions (and the Bucks if under MLE) have to agree. IMHO Portland will target a more experienced Point.
I think a lot of people are hoping for just that. If Lowry can improve his outside shot,he will be able to beat out Brooks as the starter.
Good point but we need to stop passing up on talent for the sake of Yao. I'd rather get the talent and try to find a way to make it work. We will screw our post-Yao rebuilding efforts by doing anything else. I'm not saying we'll be able to get Sessions but if we can, I say get him and worry about how Yao will limit his effectiveness later.
you are assuming that Yao will play many minutes or stays consistently healthy. Also more talent couldn't hurt us. Look at Denver and LA, they have Odom and Smith off the bench. Those guys could start for any team.
I never said I agreed with it, i'm just saying that a natural pg isn't really built for the starting lineup. Personally , I like getting the best players, but when u don't have play finishers, your not helping a guy like session,andre miller, jason kidd types. Also like I've said, adelman belives in his offense to be the pg just as phil belives the triangle is the pg. Not saying I agree, i'm just saying.
I also agree that Sessions is better and I think he is bigger (listed at 6'3"). I think it could make sense for both parties (Houston / Milwaukee) to trade Lowry and Cook for a resigned Sessions. I'm assuming he is a MLE player. This gives Milwaukee a replacement with an expiring contract. In my scenario, Sessions would start and Brooks would be a spark off the bench which I think he is better at. Sessions is not a shooter, but he does a good job of attacking the basket and I think he is a pure point.
I don't think he gets MLE $ in this market. I'm guessing more like 13-14 over 3; 17 over 4. I think Bucks would look at Milwaukee's Landry and Lowry in a deal for Sessions and...Charlie V? Joe Alex? If Rox are interested I'd suspect Bux would be, too.
What are the Bucks' needs? Can we meet those needs better than other interested teams assuming some kind of S&T takes place? There will likely be several teams interested in Sessions.
I think Sessions is better than Brooks/Lowry but it'd be a marginal upgrade at best. If we're going to upgrade the point might as well try to make a SPLASH considering we have the pieces to do so.
I would love that deal. However, the problem I see is that Landry makes $3mil and Lowry makes $2mil for a combined salary of approx $5mil. Given your numbers above, you think that Sessions will command something in the area of $4mil per year which I think is fair. So what about Charlie V? I think he will get a least $4-5mil as well.
I think Sessions may have better court vision and he definitely doesn't have as good of an outside shot. Sessions is also bigger, younger and probably a better defensive player.
