I thought he wanted a starting job, he ain't get that with Walker on the team. Should have come back to be our 6th man

I think I was one of the few that wanted him back on the Lakers as a backup for Steve Nash. As a starter Sessions wasn't what the Lakers needed but he would have been one hell of a backup under Nash's guidance.

Wiretap says it is a S+T, we will probably get a "fake" 2nd rounder, and more importantly a TPE, which hopefully we will somehow find a way to use to acquire Mayo in a S+T. I hope Sessions has a large enough contract to allow for that, hopefully his first season is $5 million.

I wanted Sessions back also, as our back up behind Nash (about 16 mpg) and Kobe (14 mpg), that would have been a lethal 3 man guard rotation.

I hope things go well for him in Charlotte, maybe they plan on starting him at PG with Walkeer at SG, but having Walker guard the PG and Sessions guard the SG.

Weird... Spears' twitter, which WT references, says nothing about a S&T...

Nah, Sessions is a bust because how overpriced he is and he is not even that good to be the sixth man. I'll admit I did get caught up with the hype when he got traded to us, but it died in the playoffs.

he'll always thrive on the bad teams and he is not a gamer when it comes to being a winner. It is obvious so no thanks for him. Bobcats is perfect for him to just to fill the stats line, get paid well, and go home.

Another TPE would be awesome.

We'll use that to get Dwight Howard.

Source: Charlotte Bobcats, point guard Ramon Sessions agree to terms

The Charlotte Bobcats have an agreement in principle to sign veteran point guard Ramon Sessions, an informed source told the Observer Thursday.

A contract signing is expected soon, as Sessions was traveling Thursday and unavailable to finish paperwork. The Observer first reported the Bobcats’ interest in signing Sessions Wednesday night.


The Bobcats have yet to resolve what to do with point guard D.J. Augustin, a restricted free agent. There’s been talk of a possible sign-and-trade involving Augustin going to the Indiana Pacers. But it’s also possible the Bobcats could rescind their $4 million qualifying offer to Augustin, making him an unrestricted free agent.

Hmmmm, says nothing about a S&T deal... Bobcats are under the cap so they don't need to.
