Ramon Sessions, a simple answer

I was devastated when we lost Ramon, but he didn’t do ANYTHING in Minnesota (8pts/3asts/21min), so he didn’t inspire me to try to get him back. That being said, if Rubio decided to play for the Wolves for 10-11, Sessions immediately becomes an expendable piece. A third string PG making $4 million would be a mistake.

Kevin Love would be awesome, and it seems like he doesn’t fit in Minnesota. However, I think even though he isn’t getting burn that Minnesota still knows his upside. We wouldn’t be able to get him for free. That’s for sure.

Charlie Bell for Ramon straight up works. Only way I see that happening is if Rubio comes back.

A realistic trade scenario would likely be:
Bell/Delfino/1st Rounder
Love/Sessions

I don’t think I’m willing to throw that 1st rounder and Delfino for Kevin Love. I’d rather go for a star like in my other thread:

What were you thinking for a trade?

Trading for both Love ans Sessions would be perfect. Bell/First Rounder/Gadz’s Contract/(poss. Second Round Pick)

That might do it. I would hate to lose Delfino. His D is a necessary, and seems to come alive when no one else will.

I understand your concern over Sessions not getting much burn in MN, but we all saw him develope from the D league into a starter, He had 9 double doubles, a triple double, and a game with 44 points in 08-09. It’s MN’s fault if they can’t figure out how to use him.

Good point. At this stage, he becomes an asset. But I don’t know that I really do in this case. He is an expiring contract, but for this trade I think we’d need to trade talent for talent. And I don’t think Hammond would give up two draft picks for Sessions and Love.

Agreed on the Wolves. Given the right system I think he could be a great backup. However I think I’d rather take Ridnour depending on what we could sign him for.

and give him a free pass…..it was like the twilight zone……running a system they couldnt make work with their players, then benching Love for Darko/Hollins combo

cant see them even considering Love without Getting Ilyasova in the deal but maybe im over estimating Kahn ;)………..plus if Delfino is involved we are screwed at Small forward pretty much

guess it depends on how the Bucks see this draft playing out as to whether they make a move……….listening to Hammonds they are going to have to get creative

As mentioned they have already have a ton of draft picks, and we’re not loaded with other tradable assets. I agree that Gadz and Bell probably don’t have any use right now—probably need to wait until the trade deadline to move Gadz, unless the Bucks want to do a big trade where they take on some serious long-term salary.

As for Sessions, I think now would be a good time for someone to snap him up while his value is low. The draft will determine a lot for Love/Sessions—if they draft Cousins/Favors then obviously Love becomes very expendable, while drafting Wall would have to make Flynn, Rubio and Sessions all very available.

The Bucks have only 4 keepers: Bogut, Jennings, Salmons and Mbah a Moute. K-Love would fit in very well alongside a true C in Bogut, who would also cover up for any of his shortcomings on the defensive end. He’d also have good chemistry with Brandon and Luc, both of whom he’s played with.

The starting price for Love would be Ilyasova and a 1st. I’m sure that the Wolves wouldn’t mind dumping Sessions’ 4mill/year contract considering their overload at the PG position.

So maybe an Ilyasova + this year’s 1st + Delfino’s expiring for Love + Sessions deal would be what it takes to get Love in a Bucks uniform.

Lemme know what you think guys.

Id say only Bogut/Jennings are untouchable, ok Dan Gadz also but in a different kinda way ;)………everyone else should be available if the right deal is there where we feel we can add a third long term chip……….and lets face it the the guys with any trade value that appeal to other teams would be Ilyasova, Prince and maybe Defino all three whom are on very good deals………..

Now in Ilyasova’s case it depends entirely on where the Bucks see his potential, If they see him as a key then ok I guess he is off the table, and when Indiana were talkin about Murphy the Bucks didnt want to deal Ilyasova from what I read so we have some precedent………..I wouldnt want to give him up but for Kevin Love a great rebounder who could fit in well with Bogut and allow us to then look at a shot blocking 2nd rounder…..and means we have 3 long term guys in place

No way Bucks give up both Ilyasova & Delfino in the same deal…….I could see it being Ilyasova+pick 15+Bell for that package

I’m glad Hammond didn’t bite on that Murphy trade, but I’d definitely part with Ersan to get Love. I just think Love’s ceiling is higher than Ersan’s, and KL is already a very productive player.

He could be a combo guard. Also Love and Bogut is a scary combo. I also hope the Bucks can someway sign Al Harrington, maybe in a trade Harrington for RIdinour. Thats if the Bucks get Sessions. Then draft a forward.
Jennings
Salmons
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute
Love
Bogut
sixth man Harrington
I think that this trade goes down if Minnesota gets 3-4 which they probably will and draft either Cousins or Favors. Then trade Love, Ryan Gomes, and Sessions for the Bucks first and second rounder plus Delfino and either Dan Gadzurich or Bell

Also whats the word on Salmons does he stay or go

tell u what gice us redd, illyasova or however u say it and u can have ramon plus our 16
