    Re: Knicks About To Offer MLE To Sessions?

    Being the PG in a D'Antoni offense is a good career move.

    I'd be surprised if Milwaukee didn't match an MLE deal but I suppose it could happen, KOHL is not doing so hot.


    If matching gets Milwaukee close to luxury tax I wonder if they'd give us a first rounder for taking on Kurt Thomas? We'd get that backup PF, but even cooler it'd be the 4th first rounder Kurt would've swapped!

    If he accepts it. Once he accepts the offer, he'll either be a Knick or a Buck, depending on if the Bucks match.

    Until he accepts it, though, other teams can offer him deals. Whichever one Sessions accepts, the Bucks have the option of matching.

    This means little yet. It's likely Sessions' agent putting pressure on other teams (hopefully Portland). He hasn't signed an offer sheet, let alone been offered one.

    Meh.

    It doesn't matter, as the Blazers have shown zero interest in Sessions anyway. Those pictures Blake has of KP must be really something.

    Sessions would make quite the fantasy sleeper if he went to NY. I hope the Knicks offer it up to him.

    So NY is giving up on King James. This is taking away their cap space for 2010 season if Sessions comes to NY. I don't buy this.

    Is sessions Gone?

    The New York Post is reporting that the Knicks are planning on offering Bucks restricted free agent PG Ramon Sessions a four-year contract worth 26.5 million. This news is according to Sessions’ agent Chubby Wells, not the same Chubby Wells who is famous for pitching a perfect game at Yankee Stadium with a hangover.

    Dont think there is any way KP matches this one....:sigh:

    I want Blakey.

    He is a nice guy who wants to live in Portland. I don't care that he can't defend, drive, or draw fouls. He has a nice smile.

    Yes, my mistake. Neither one of them should be our starting PG this season though. Although Blakes wife would draw a lot more hand check fouls I am sure.
