I saw where we are meeting with Bazemore but he is more of a third PG.

yeah, it is definitely surprising. he could really help a lot of teams that need a scoring combo guard. he'd actually work in dallas. someone will get a steal because he isnt getting paid now.

Clifford just told us Sessions will play a lot with Kemba this season (depending on if he can guard the other SG)

They played together a lot under Dunlop. Worked reasonably well.

Anyone else use the Tapatalk app? I now remember how annoyed I was each time this thread was bumped, because the app shows a sample of the OP. So I see this:

There's some Kemba hate, but the first few pages are kinda entertaining. The Lakers had just signed Nash and fans were hoping to sign-and-trade Sessions for a first round pick.

I wonder what Leo thinks :lol:

We need Myck Kabongo as our 4th point guard

I disliked the way Sessions played in his previous stint here. He looked to score more than he should have. I want him to defend and look to get others involved first, and then look to score if nothing is there.

If he plays selfish like he did before I hope we look to trade him as soon as December 15th rolls around. Maybe try to package Hawes and a pick with him to see what kind of guard we could get back.

Sessions looked better for one night but his style of play still doesn't fit Cliff's system He knuckleballed a bunch more 3balls. I'll never understand bringing back a player traded away because he didn't fit the system

This is my regrettable comment of the offseason. It's at the top of the page and haunts me every time someone bumps the thread.
