    This is great....

    From devin Harris to speights and sessions. It's like being offered fine dining and then finding out it's taco bell.

    Overstated. Sessions may not be an ex-all-star, but he's pretty good, actually a pure point guard, and not injury prone. He'd probably meet our needs nearly as well as Harris would, and be more reliable.

    I actually suggested Speights a few days ago, saying I've never seen him play but that his per-minute numbers are very good.
    With that said, I wouldn't trade Dante for him. I would consider offering Babbitt but not Dante.

    I think we should offer Rudy for Speights. What do you think, Blazer4now? :devilwink:

    I'm a Blazer4ever but I'm no loser and will not be a fan of a loser-team.

    Speights isn't even on the Phillies depth chart, and they've had him 2 and a half years now.

    His next team will end up waiving himm and he'll be out of the league.

    I think you're trying to have it both ways. Either you're 'Blazer4ever' no matter what or you need to pick a new handle. Sorry, but it's only right.

    Speights intrigues me. Last year he showed glimpses of breaking out and becoming a solid player. I think I like him as a prospect better than A. Randolph.
