My boss has Insider on ESPN. He tells me that Bucks have received calls for Sessions, but no offers yet. You would think that he would have some offers on the table by now, right? Or maybe he is just not as good as we think?
He's the best free agent point guard. I would really hope that Pritchard has inquired about him. He should be the #1 free agent on our list.
They are probably waiting to match. If no one makes an offer for Sessions, he'll have to play for the QO - Cheap money.
Though others can "agree in principle", my thinking is restricted free agents can't do anything, because you can't agree in principle on an offer sheet. It has to actually be signed, and then given to their current team to get a week to match.
a lot of teams dont want to tie up their money for a week with a RFA at least not in the first week of Free Agency.
Sessions and Portland aren't a good match. He is a PG with driving and dishing abilities. That is NOT what we need here.
But he does draw fouls and get to the line. It would be extremely useful to have more then one player capable of doing that. I don't think Sessions is the perfect solution, but he is a damn sight better the Blake.
I think he is being sarcastic. Sessions would be a terrific fit with the Blazers. Everyone wants to bitch and complain about his lack of 3 point shooting, there are other parts to the game of basketball besides shooting the three. He can attack the rim wonderfully and can get to the free throw line at a excellent rate. Not to mention he's an excellent passer and good finisher around the rim. While I really wanted Hedo on the Blazers, I wanted Ramon even more.
No he is not. Steve Blake can shoot a jump shot, and is a great guy. All Ramon Sessions would bring to this team is a PG who can defend, drive and create for others. He can't shoot, so he's garbage. I don't care one bit that the final nba teams this year all shot more FT's than us, that is not important. We need more 3 PT shooting, and less FT's and getting opponents into foul trouble.
no, if no one makes an offer for sessions, eventually the bucks will make him an offer. they'll want to lock sessions up rather than let him be an unrestricted free agent after next season. other teams probably haven't really made any serious offers because the bucks have made it fairly clear with their actions that they are going to match and there really aren't many teams out there with much money to offer him.
I agree. Just defense, slashing and distributing? What a, um, three-dimensional player? I'd hate to have a point guard who can actually stay in front of opposing point guards and who can drive and dish to Oden. Complete non-fit.
I was going to find that youtube clip of the Comic Book Guy's sarcasm blowing up the professor's sarcasm detector during the Mensa meeting as a response to MM's post, but it's too much work and video streaming is a HUGE no-no at my work.
