LAL/MIN Sessions for Vujacic

[simsev23]

LAC gives: Vujacic
LAC gets: Sessions
Min gives: Vujacic
MIn gets: Sessions

Why for Minny: They get a good shooter to spread the floor and also lose a year on sessions contract. Vujacic only 2 more years, sessions 3 more years.

Why for Lakers: They get a good backup point guard behind derek fisher, who can run the floor and already has 1 year running the triangle. The lakers looked like they needed a solid backup PG all throughout the playoffs and finally get it.

I just wrote this - I thought it might give you a handle on how MIN looks at Sessions

Here's the story on Ramon Sessions.

David Kahn kind of lucked into Ramon Sessions for under market price last season. While MIN was delayed with the Rubio situation, MIL used up all its money under the lux so they couldn't re-sign Sessions, and other teams filled their PG vacancies elsewhere, expecting Sessions to cost more. By the time it was over, MIN realized it didn't have a legitimate back-up PG, and Sessions didn't have a legitimate team to go to, so he took the remainder of our MLE, and we locked him up cheap. Moreover, he fits Kahn's vision for the team, giving young players with skills the opportunity to emerge.

When the season began, Kahn was commited to trying to develop Flynn, but still tried to get Sessions minutes by using the unorthodox move of not even carrying a third PG. Sessions picked up Rambis more complicated system more quickly than Flynn last year, and there are questions of whether Flynn's talents really are a fit for this offense. Kahn has said that Flynn and Session will both be competing for the starting job this year.

I agree that before next summer, either Flynn or Sessions will have to be traded, but right now they both have a legitimate job, and a legitimate chance to raise their trade value. I think both are on good contracts, and its doubtful we'd trade either for just an expiring.

Vujacic is an overpaid expiring deal, but Sessions has three years at a good price. LAL would certainly need to offer more than Sasha to secure Sessions.

I'd try a three teamer, where you take back a worse contract and an asset for Sasha, then trade us the asset. Maybe Sasha + #1 mil in cap space + future protected 1st for Posey + NOH + #11" to get the asset, but after that, I don't know how you move the salary.

Why do people insist that Sessions is just a contract?

Maybe if Rubio was coming this year I would entertain a Sessions deal (not necessarily for Vujacic), but without Sessions, we really have no one to backup Flynn..

[Esohny]

Ugh.

[teven_1]

Pacers are giving it away

"Minn gets: Sessions"?

dont we already have him?

[KariTakko]

We can get a better return for Sessions.

[PHTown]

Brilliant trade idea. I like the part were Minn gives up a relatively cheap pg with lower level starter potential for a douchebag who is not even close to the player he was a couple of years ago, which even then wasn't very good, and only lives to please kobe bryant(possibly orally...if you don't believe me, watch the postgame celebration from last night...awkward to say the least).

Vujacic is horrible. He would be Pavlovic 2.0
