Sessions' performance in the playoffs had nothing to do with "crumbling under pressure" or any of that BS. Fact is, he was relegated to a spot up shooter role for this team... what did you guys expect? That's NOT his game.

Nah, that's not true at all.

Once the playoffs started, he lost confidence in his shot, couldn't finish his drives, and ended up just handing off the ball to Kobe at the top of the key because he couldn't even dribble against pressure.

He didn't know how to play basketball, and he looked scared.

I'm just glad people hopped off the sessions wagon.

It was a rental until he is resigned to a reasonable contract. Impossible to grade right now.

I don't like that we traded away 2 picks + LO & Fish for rentals during a short lockout season. I think we should resign both players and package one or both in a trade w/ Bynum to hit that home run Mitch wants to hit.

Hill and Bynum should fetch D-12.

Sessions/Blake
Kobe/Goudlock - play this kid, Kobe doesn't deam just anyone mini-Mamba, develop this kid
MWP/Barnes/Ebanks
Gasol/McBob
D-12/Gasol/Murphy

Use TPE to get another piece. It's an arms race and we have 2 years left that Kobe can win us #17. ALL-IN! ALL-IN! ALL-IN!
