Why wouldn't you?


What's he going to do? Fly to Australia and go around town saying "Do you know a guy who posts on realgm by the name Citizen.Eras3d? I'm pissed at him and want to kick his ass."


Ever since I read the story about the guy from Germany flying to England and killing a guy he had a fight with online I've never been the same :lol:

I can't believe the bucks would really want a draft pick as part of any sign and trade for Sessions. realistically , the Bucks will have a high lottery pick and a high second round pick next year. they really don't need any more draft picks. i also highly doubt the Clippers would be willing to give up their first round pick. they are no guarantee to make the play-offs next year. it would be a stupid move on their part to give up a draft pick as part of a sign and trade deal for Sessions.

looking at the Clippers' team, i have to ask - reality check - why are they even in the Sessions bidding at all? they already have baron Davis - who nobody is going to take off their hands. they have eric gordon at Sg. they now have telfair. and they have mardy Collins - a young point guard . i can't understand why the Clippers would even make an offer unless they were just trying to get the bucks to give sessions a bigger contract. normally a team makes an offer if it intends to actually use the player. i can't see the Clippers using sessions at all. there is no need or hole to fill.

Reed, I rarely read your posts anymore, and these most recent couple were good examples of why. Way to cherry pick one player on the list who looks even remotely like an anomaly, to try and prove your point. And Randolph isn't even a player who gets knocked much for his on the court ability, he's pretty good in that aspect, his issues have always been off the court and how he creates division in the locker room. That, and his defense, but that hardly fully counteracts his offensive repertoire and ability on the boards to make him a negative or even neutral player on court. He's Anthony Mason in his prime, who did make an All-Star game, BTW.

P.S.: Try and get my name correct for once, we've only posted on the same boards for years.

That's alright. I'll just stop and pick up an Irukandji. Your splade is doomed.

Probably one of the dumbest things I've read on here for quite some time. The Bucks don't need more draft picks, really? That's the one thing that could potentially net Milwaukee a real superstar and difference maker. Especially when the draft pick is coming from a horrible team who is bound to get a great draft pick. Wow..

No way the Clips offer the Full MLE to Sessions to play backup. The market for Ramon dried up fast. 4/16m, get it done John.

MajorDad:
Picks are always useful in a rebuild. The Clips own the Wolves' unprotected 1st in 2011. Someone posted it was unprotected in 2012. I read on the Clips page that it was in 2011. Wouldn't you want that pick instead of the Clips 1st rounders? In 2011, Hammonds wants to be a free agent player, and with picks, just more leverage. :D

I still think a Gadz-Sessions for Thornton isn't a total wipeout deal. Hammond then has full MLE for this summer and next summer if he wants.

I do not want to trade the third-best player on this team for cap room/salary savings when that player is 23, improving every year, has the potential to improve even more in the future and plays the most important position on the court. If the Clips won't part with a 2010 first then I tell them to sign Sessions to an offer sheet and hope it's not matched. If they're going to offer less than ML deal for Sessions, I think they know the Bucks are poised to match it. So if they really want Sessions, they have to pony up to get him.

I have a funny feeling that if we made that deal, Al Thornton would then be a 25 year old third best player on this team.

Or actually fourth best player for both guys since Jennings is heading for number one with a bullet.

Gadz/Sessions for a 1st/thorton or Camby. Pretty good deal.

Only if you look at PPG numbers. Thornton made the Clippers worse every time he stepped on the floor last year. I'd take Sessions over him 107 times out of 100.

The critical difference is I don't believe Thornton is as good as Sessions and he doesn't play a position of extreme importance like Sessions does.
