    I'm kind of surprised he's turning down that second year, does anyone know how much he was set to make?

    Ramon Sessions is now a FA. I would not be mad at all if he was in a Blazers uniform next year.

    As our starter? For how much? He had Kobe, Bynum, and Gasol on his team and did not impress. What is he going to do with our lineup. Don't understand the love affair you guys have with him.

    His PER has always been pretty damn good. Minus 1 year of 12.9, it has been 16.2, 17.6, 19.0, 16.7 (16.4 with the Cavs and 17.3 with the L*kers)

    fg% of 479
    3pt of 486
    Per 36 he is a 15/7 guy

    Sessions is not worth 5 mill a year unless we have consistent outside shooting (which we don't). Sessions is bad on D and on O he isn't a very good shooter outside of 15 feet. Needs to be able to slash into the paint and is a decent P&R. There are about 5 FA pg's id rather have and one of them I don't wabt to ever see in a Blazers uniform again.

    Looked solid during the regular season but was atrocious in the playoffs.

    He was the backup to STEVE BLAKE!

    Not a huge fan of Sessions, the guy cannot shoot from the outside.....you put him out there with the inconsistent dup of Matthews and Batum...and ugh....another season of teams packing it in on Aldridge and watching our SG\SF and PG brick shots from the outside.....

    Hmm, could you possibly make Batum/Lin work?

    He's not starter quality yet, but if we're looking at Kendall Marshall... wouldn't Darius Morris warrant consideration as well?

    Afford both.

    If Batum gets his $10m/per would the rest be enough for the Knicks to be unable to match under the new CBA?
