Ramon is young. 26, not sure there will be many out there looking to trade or sign and trade to the Lakers without giving up all.

AGAIN!!!! People need to stop saying sign Odom lol. Do you realize that Odom by NBA RULES cannot be signed to the Lakers until about a month or so into the season? He wont be available and if he is he wont be as big as a factor he was when we had him with Phil. Odom is done. The man will be 33 soon. Let it go. He didnt help keep the Lakers from being swept in 2011 and stop fully blaming his efforts on Dallas. And even if you do, what does that say about Lamar Odom? Why would you want a guy like that on ur team? A man that cant even handle adversity. LET IT GO!

Sessions is basically Smush Parker without the size. He can't shoot. And is only good for scoring off pick n rolls when he is hot.

Youth doesn't mean anything. Cleveland killed us in the trade.

I've been critical of Goudelock at times, but I also think he'll contribute more at PG next season. Hopefully he'll put in the time this summer to learn the system and be able to play with Sessions like Blake did except better. Being able to work/train with the staff and summer league XP should really help.

he is still a very good player but he got held back by our system, he would benefit much more from coming off the bench. he can be great point guard but he needs time to gel with this team

Sessions has speed and playmaking ability smush could only dream of. It's pretty clear you didn't actually watch Smush play throughout the season.

You have to love the fact that Smush Parker was absolute trash on every team he played...except playing next to Kobe.

I just don't respect Sessions at all. He was playing great in the regular season, because face it, it should be much easier playing next to Kobe, Pau and Bynum.

But he choked. He chocked something awful, and it had nothing to do with being held back by our system. If he had played close to the the same level in the postseason, we would be playing the Spurs right now.

It's mental with Sessions, and if you want to roll the dice on him again this season, that's fine, but let's not overlook the fact that he was a major liability on both ends of the floor.

Look Mike Brown gave him every chance by starting him every game and giving him major PT, but Sessions couldn't beat Steve Blake out of meaningful minutes because you couldn't trust the guy to play basketball.

It's a huge risk to roll again with a failed project, but then again, Smush Parker was our starting point guard for 2 years and he didn't even belong in the NBA. The power of positive thinking!
