Cleveland will get the Lakers 2012 first-round pick in the Ramon Sessions trade, league source tells Y! Brian Windhorst 1st reported deal.

I'd guess it's for the Lakers' first rounder.

EDIT: Yeah, it is. Lakers needed a PG so it was a deal they had to make.

@JasonLloydABJ: #Cavs trade Ramon Sessions, Christian Eyenga to Lakers for Luke Walton and Lakers' #1 pick (top 14 protected) in 2012.

Ok, now that at least makes sense. I don't agree with it from the Cavs end, but I can see the logic.

Including Walton would have been ridiculously good for the Lakers.

Post #15 » by **dockingsched** » Thu Mar 15, 2012 6:01 pm

it does include walton, confirmed by windhorst himself (the guy in the link that HW just gave.) plus several other people including amico, hoopsworld, sheridan, and others.

I wonder though, why don't we just use viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1165489 as the Official thread for this? Enjoying it too much

That wasn't in the link 1 minute ago. I finally gave up and edited Walton out of the title, then the article updated and he popped in. Title back. :oops:

Extremely good for LAL, although in light of the Portland trade, I will simply call it decent.
