.........................Between John Hammond(Bucks) and Donnie Walsh: www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/60876/20090730/hammond_and_walsh_discuss_sign_and_trade/This is all from a supposed Milwaukee newspaper insider and all but it is expected to be a sign and trade either involving David Lee or Nate Robinson. Now if this true, how could Walsh equate David Lee's value to Ramon Sessions. I am in favor of Sessions being here and all but David could get you better in a deal than this young yet talented PG from Milwaukee. Let's hope Nate or even duhon are the one's involved to me because you waste a better player who unless a pick is coming our way, Lee for sessions is uneven. Sessions for Nate is more even IMO. |

As Iron mentioned Jason Williams might be a good compromise between Sessions (there is a chance the Bucks match any offer) and Tinsley. I'm pulling for Sessions.

Should the sign and trade rumors be accurate, I don't believe David Lee will be going. I think Walsh wants to hold on to Lee, has played his hand brilliantly in letting the market create the dollars necessary to keep him. I would think with Douglas's arrival, possibly Nate would be the trading chip.

Pearl I believe that either trading Chris Duhon or signing and trading Nate Robinson to Milwaukee will be the method in which we acquire Ramon Sessions. This would explain the delays in signing Nate as well as the up and down nature of the reports coming out from the media. I think there is a very good reason for Donnie Walsh to want to use the sign and trade option, and that is to save the MLE for David Lee. Walsh, Bartlestein, and Lee met yesterday and while no talks of contracts or money occured, Bartlestein did say that the meeting was "productive". The first year of the MLE is very close to the $6 million dollar mark, which was the rumored figure of what Walsh's one year offer to David would be. |

If the Bucks match, then signing Jason Williams is our last best option. I don't want Tinsley, so a combination of Duhon, J Williams and Douglas, while not great, is not all the bad either. I just have a feeling that D'Antoni and Williams will be a very good combination. If he keeps himself under control and plays the system, good things can happen. Sessions and J. Williams................could we expect more for next year? With that combination, and David Lee under contract............the focus shifts to the center position. I predict that in about a week or two, we will be debating our options at center. Point guard will then be an afterthought.

I'm afraid we might lose a Knick in a trade too,and I get the feeling is someone I like not the crap I want to get rid of.I want Rubio and I would like to keep Duhon .I want to trade Lee and as far as N8 goes well if losing him makes us better I well let go my favorite knick but give me something worth while for dumping him.Otherwise sign him on the cheap for our sixth man.If we get Lebron I'm not worried about getting somebody to bring the ball up,getting Rubio changes everything.We need a star at the point, giving up 5.9 per to Sessions might be too much when we can get someone cheap to wait for a star to jump on.

one can only fantasize that all this sessions talk is a smoke screen for serious machinations on bringing Rubio
to NY
