The story has Pritchard screaming in the war room to draft Paul or Williams despite already having Telfair, but he was overruled by PatterNash. That is the reason he was given the GM job supposedly.
Oh I know that, but I'm hoping he isn't making the same mistake Nash did. I don't think there's any excuse to not look at Ramon Sessions as your first candidate right now. I would consider the summer a success if we're able to resign our two guys and get Sessions.
I said he is as much of an enigma, as the guys we have already. He HAS proven more than Sessions yes.
I can think of an excuse. He's a brutal outside shooter who dominates the ball. Hinrich would be a much better fit, although I'm not keen on that move either.
You know, I've noticed over time that this place operates much like one of those holding tanks at the fish hatchery. If somebody tosses something in the water, it's a feeding frenzy whether it's fish food or just some piece of trash. But then, what else do we have to do this summer?
I'd personally like to be able to have a board toast to locking up Brandon Roy for 5 years at a max, and LMA for 5 years at $11/million.
Meh, even a blind squirrel finds a nut. I do what I can, though. This thought just makes the most sense to me. Those two positions, because of our current makeup, have a direct correlation on one another.
Why don't we just sign Miller? Let Bayless and Blake battle for the backup spot in the pre-season. Blake's contract is expiring next season anyway.
I am totally on board for Sessions. S&T if Milwaukee will do it. If not, make a nice, big offer. For a very good (almost top-10, and only 23) PG, the max we could offer is not expensive. PLEASE, KP!!!! iWatas
Bulls fans (at large, not leaving out our resident) just finally caught wind of this rumor. They seem to think that Boozer can be had without trading Hinrich in a different deal, so it might be possible in their interests.
I think his lack of outside shooting is overstated. Ramon can stick the midrange jumper fairly well. He can get to the free throw line at an excellent rate which offsets the lack of three point shooting. Plus, he shot very well iln college so I'm not dead set on thinking he can't improve his shot. Kidd was a horrible shooter from 3 and now he's pretty darn good. I don't see how Hinrich is a much better fit, maybe if you want someone who will give you almost the exact same thing as last year. Maybe if you want a guy to not penetrate and give it to the bigs, then yea I suppose. Ramon would make our bigs so much better, which is of bigger significance than how he fits next to Roy.
Thats it.. we could S&T them Outlaw and filler, for Sessions, or maybe just Outlaw, and then throw our cap space at Odom!!!
Elite? None. That's not a problem since we don't have any elite big men of our own either. The same argument could be said of Chris Paul, Deron Williams, and Derrick Rose. What's your point?
You said Sessions would make the Portland bigs better, didn't you? I'm wondering what you are basing that opinion on. You know, examples of dominant post players that have benefited from playing with Ramon Sessions. That sort of stuff. Bringing Paul, Williams, and Rose into seems silly, since Sessions is nowhere near the first two in terms of ability, and he's not even at Derrick Rose's level in terms of an all-around game. Last I checked, LMA is better statistically on offense than any big on Milwaukee, and Greg Oden had better become an elite big, otherwise he'll have to be considered a bust at some point.
All of the above, plus it would indicate a welcome change in philosophy. Get a PG who will spoon-feed our big men, instead of being so perimeter oriented.
