Re: Lakers First Free Agency Move: Reaching Out to Ramon Sessions
Players like Sessions can't afford to think like that. He's 26 and he's made 13 million in the NBA. He's going to want to make as much as he can off that next deal and he's a fool if he doesn't. The Lakers need him more than anyone else though and they aren't going to let him walk unless they have a better option.

Re: Lakers First Free Agency Move: Reaching Out to Ramon Sessions
Get him signed but still try to find a better quality starting PG. Let him come off the bench and get rid of Blake if possible.

Re: Lakers First Free Agency Move: Reaching Out to Ramon Sessions
Dragic would cost more than Sessions, and wants considerably more than the MLE, he's tried to get closer to 9-10 M, that's why the Rockets don't think he's returning to Houston.

Re: Lakers First Free Agency Move: Reaching Out to Ramon Sessions
Yes, Dragic would cost more than Sessions, but that is none of my concern. The whole point with free agency is to improve your team and Dragic is a much better guard than Sessions. Do a sign and trade or exceed the salary cap if you have to, all I want is for the Lakers to have the best possible chance to contend for a title next year.

To absolutely no one's surprise, the Lakers announced that they would no longer pursue Ramon Sessions.

Re: UPDATE: With Nash agreement, Sessions is off the board
I enjoyed watching him during his very brief tenure here. Funny that just like Ariza he opts out (or in Arizas case turns down our offer) to try to get more money and then the Lakers are able to get a better player before they can even counter-offer.
Let that be a lesson to future Lakers, everyone wants to play here, so if you are relatively happy with your minutes and money just shut up and sign.

Re: UPDATE: With Nash agreement, Sessions is off the board
he opted out to get a longer contract - it's common procedure these days - has nothing to do with whether he wanted to stay a laker, in fact could have meant he wanted to stay a laker an extra year
