I just added Peja. Right now I am leanings towards JR Smith or Peja however, the way my team is built, I dont know if I even could really use sessions. I may just hold off unless someone has a good argument for Sessions.

JR and Peja will get me more 3's and the same points that Sessions would provide. BTW I realize that I have NO source of assists. I just go without it and excel in other cats. Im in 3rd place in a very competitive H2H league with 10 teams.

I know Thornton's #'s wont stay up where they currently are after Randolph, Davis, and Camby return however he has been playing pretty well lately and I'm not sure if I can let him go just yet, I wish I could trade him + another guy, and then add Sessions but if I want Sessions I need to act quickly cause I know he will be picked up soon. One of the guys in my league is a huge Milwaukee fan and he owned Sessions earlier in the season and is aware of his potential. I know he'll be going after him real soon...

I have Al Thornton too and I'm not really thinking about waiving him even though Jeff Green is in my lineup.

I apologize to the poster but I also have the same dilemma: if Sessions is worth picking.

We all know Monta Ellis had his debut game vs. Cavs and Crawford was out in that game.

Michael Redd is going to miss like a year and the Bucks are inserting Ramon Sessions into the starting lineup.

My question: Should I drop Jamal Crawford and pick up Ramon Sessions now?

Sessions has 44% in FG, 79% in FT and is 10.2 ppg., 2.9 rpg and 4.2 apg. Made just 5 of 29 3-pointers this season.

Crawford has 42.1% in FG, 85.7% in FT and averages 20.2 ppg, 2.7 rpg and 4.8 apg. With Ellis back, I think Jamal is not going to have a lot of touches, especially with Steph, Mags and Kelenna around.

The thing is, in that avg, Sessions is playing 23mpg while Craw has 37mpg. With the Bucks inserting Sessions in their starting line up, there should be an increase in his productivity overall.

What do you guys think?

Currently, my lineup is:

Chris Paul
Jamal Crawford
Devin Harris
Rashard Lewis
Al Thornton
Jeff Green
David Lee
Brook Lopez
Chris Duhon
Andray Blatche
Carlos Boozer - INJ

I don't know.

I couldn't see dropping Crawford, he has trade value and when he gets minutes in Nellie's system he will put up big #'s.

He might be a no defense playing chucker in real life, but he is solid in the fantasy world.

Sessions is gonna be a really good pickup though.

In both my private leagues he was immediately picked up when the news of Redd going down came out.
I was pissed.
Yes, when Charlie bell is healthy he will rob some minutes, but without Redd jacking up 54 shots a game and killing the flow of the offense everyone's #'s will rise.

He will get you minutes at the point as well, figuring he was already backing up Ridnour before Redd got injured.

He'll put up big rebound #'s for a guard as well, especially when Bogut is out.

Maybe drop Blatche?
I don't know, I just picked Blatche up, but he did hurt his knee last night.
He said it isn't serious, but said he heard it "pop".
That isn't good and I am stunned the Wiz haven't made him go for an MRI.

I would definitely drop Thornton for Sessions.
He shoots a bad % from the field, doesn't get you any 3's or many rebounds or steals and once guys like Randolph come back his points per gane is gnna come down a little. He gets literally no assists either.
The only thinkg saving him is his points per game, fg's and blocks and the vast amount of injuries the Paper Clips have suffered.

Anybody else have any suggestions?? At this point I am on the fence on this one. I mean, Sessions wont save me on assists and could eventually be more of a scoring threat than Thornton. The FG% will stay around the same and 3's will be nonexistent for both players. Thornton with a few more rebounds per game and Sessions will provide fewer rebounds but several more assists a gm. Thornton gets about 1 and 1 on the stl/blk scene and that is nice.

Tough call. Sessions prolly wont be around long.....

Right now I am leaning towards just keeping things the way they are.

Any help is appreciated and I WHIR.

Blatche is out 2-4 weeks.

DeShaunRed · Post #9 » by **DeShaunRed** » Wed Jan 28, 2009 2:03 pm

Now Blatche is out. Waived him and picked up Kendrick Perkins. Waived Al Thornton for Ramon Sessions. Someone waived AK47 and will be watching to pick him off waivers, if someone beats me to him, there are a lot of SF's/PF's awaiting pickup.
