WOJ: Sessions on Hornets radar
- Thread starter N0tmyfault

Wowwww, they have no one on their roster who can help us basketball-wise. That said, I guess I would gladly take one of their expiring contracts for him.
Now that I think about it, maybe if they make Ray and Collison the only two PGs on the team, Corbin can't play either of them over Nik, which would help us basketball-wise, but knowing the coaching here, all those free SG minutes would go to Derrick Williams.
I guess it would be nice if we could get Cody Zeller.

Sessions was actually a big part of why the Bobcats (now Hornets) were competitive early in the season until they traded him to the Bucks for Gary Neal (largely because their wing rotation at the time was a mess) and Neal is a Pop-system knows-his-role guy.
Neal's having a statistically awful year from behind the arc but for his career he's an ideal rotation guard on a big man-centric team but if the Hornets offer him (and hopefully a second round pick or two) in a swap for Sessions, I say yes in a heartbeat. Hell, at this point, I'd even take Biyombo off their hands and he's practically a waste of space.
But since this is PDA we're talking about, we're probably going to wind up with another small forward out of the deal (Jeff Taylor probably) because small forwards are to the Weasel as two guard/ small forward swingmen were to Geoff Petrie (for those of you who have forgotten, at one point in 2007, the Kings SG/SF depthchart once consisted of Ron Artest, Kevin Martin, Francisco Garcia, John Salmons, Dahntay Jones, and Quincy Douby).

Double it up and expand the package..Sessions and ? To get Vonleh and an expiring. They are in the playoff hunt so they could use a Landry or DWill or Reggie Evans or Casspi although I want Casspi to stay. I'd even look at the Sessions and Stauskas package if we could get back pieces to help us..Vonleh and ?
Or just give them Sessions for a2nd rounder and be done

This is his fourth year in the league, and he hasn't improved one bit since day one. He's an average rebounder, and average shotblocker. Offensively he has no game away from the basket. Basicly, he can dunk the ball and occasionally show a little hook shot. The first time I saw him up close and personal in summer league, he was as dumb as a rock on the floor. Had no idea where to be. Was constantly being yelled at by his teammates. His third year in summer league, same thing... Sorry, I just don't see him ever being a decent player.
Hey, for his sake, I hope I'm wrong...

I don't see them throwing Stauskas into a package to get Vonleh, when they could have just drafted Vonleh in the first place. GM's don't like to admit mistakes, and to be honest, I don't think they made a mistake. Vonleh is far more raw than Stauskas. You'd be going after him for the future, which around here is always tomorrow morning. The only way I would move Stauskas, who has value around the league despite what some might think on this forum, is to get a veteran player that could make some sort of impact on the team. To trade young talent for different young talent, is just re-arranging the deck chairs.
Yes, but the impact on the Kings would still be negligible. I can't say I have been watching Biyombo as closely as my buddy from Dublin but what I have seen is a big, muscled and somewhat uncoordinated oaf. I will quickly shuffle off to Youtube but trading a guy who has been with the team all year and added very little actually makes less sense than acquiring someone with similar talent level and no time with the Kings. Let us remember more importantly that this is not ...THIS IS NOT .... a typical year for Sessions. His normal year is better.
Again, I'm not Biyombo's biggest fan, but he's 22, and an above average rebounder and shot-blocker. Nothing offensively, but doesn't take what he can't make. There's still hope for him to turn into a defensive impact maker, even if it's off the bench.
I may be swayed by the fact that I want to turn off the game every time Sessions is in. He literally makes us worse when he's on the floor.

As has been mentioned already this is Sessions' worst season ever. He is on a very reasonable contract. I don't see any reason to trade him for nothing or even for a lateral talent at a different position. I would prefer to combine him with DWill and perhaps others and get a quality veteran who can start.
