Do you guys have any good 3-point shooters? With Bynum/Kobe drawing doubles and Nash dropping dimes everywhere, it would help to have a good shooter.

reggie williams was shooting around 40 for a while, and he could back up metta and kobe for about 18 minutes a night or whatever.

Thx for the info - Most Lakers fans want a draft pick, so they can use it to get Howard, but i'm in the minority in that I want to build our supporting cast instead.
The lowly Bobcats just got better.
The Bobcats have come to terms on a deal for point guard Ramon Sessions, according to Marc Spears at Yahoo Sports and the Charlotte Observer.
This is a good move, it gives the Bobcats a more known, steady entity to pair with Kemba Walker at the point. Sessions is a good pick-and-roll point guard who attacks and gets points for himself and sets others up. With the Lakers at the end of last season he averaged 12.7 points while shooing 47.9 percent (48 percent from three) and he averaged 6.2 assists per game. Sessions struggled for the Lakers in his first playoffs ever. The Lakers still talked about brining him back, but after signing Steve Nash there was no need.
Sessions is an upgrade at the point for the Bobcats. Good signing. And he won’t have to worry about his playoff performance this year.

Sounds like a starter to me

But here's my concern; he's a better true pg than Kemba Chucker. What if KC starts jacking up stupid off balance shots and not getting the ball to the right players and Sessions comes in and does great? Will this cause KC to regress even more? I just don't see the move working when you have a young pg that is still trying to learn a new position, having a veteran looking over his shoulder, waiting to take his job. This could make KC's self confidence lower even more.

Uh....................no.
