    KP has an extremely huge Ego. Picking bayless 11th and giving up on him for someone that was had in the second round would concede deafeat...

    Just dont see it happening.... :sigh:

    I must have missed the memo that KP has a huge ego. Where is all this coming from? An unknown East coast executive? A radio personality, or from someone on this board?

    In any event if KP has this so called huge ego like you suggest then he will be able to justify in his mind that he was brilliant in picking up Sessions and trading Bayless for some other talent. I would not worry about his ego.

    Sounds like something put out by Session's agent. If a team really wanted him, they would extend an offer before the other two extend an offer. I guess the market isn't quite so hot for average point guards who can't shoot the 3? :dunno:

    This is ridiculous, both these teams can only offer the MLE, correct? The Blazers can offer significantly more than both these teams. I don't think there's any excuse for not offering this guy a contract.

    The NBA seems to disagree with you at this point, as well as Sessions' own team.

    What does that have to do with Sessions? I don't think there's much evidence that he's "average".

    Why should the Bucks offer him a contract when they don't have to?

    What does it have to do with Sessions? His agent is the one saying 3 teams are getting close to making offers, yet nobody has made an offer. Obviously his agent is trying to add some urgency to get his player an offer...any offer.

    As far as my view on him as being average, well, teams aren't exactly tripping over themselves trying to sign the 23 year-old to a contract. Why is that, if he's such a hot commodity?

    Despite all the evidence to the contrary (wanting a point guard that can shoot, the front office having faith in Bayless, etc.) I'm still hoping for us to make an offer to Sessions. Much like Miller, I think he'd be a good addition to our team.

    It's not which offer he receives first, it is which offer he signs that matters. There is arguably strategic value in waiting until the other guy has made a commitment before making yours (see, e.g. Hedo Turkoglu).

    To lower the risk of paying a lot of money to keep him. Lock him up for around the MLE and take Portland out of the mix. Basic stuff if he's that important to your team.

    He has yet to even receive an offer, and Milwaukee can match any offer. What that has to do with Hedo, I'm not sure, since Hedo was an UFA and Sessions is a RFA.
