The LA Lakers are potentially interested in acquiring Ramon Sessions, using a first round draft pick and a trade exception.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

“Cleveland is interested in stockpiling draft picks in potential deals, sources said. Several teams have inquired about Sessions lately, front-office sources said. The Lakers have a handful of players on short-term deals who can\u2019t be traded until March 1.” [Adrian Wojnarowski<\/a>]<\/p>\n

I’ll reserve comment on the rumored trade for now, and instead just say that\u00a0it seems\u00a0Ramon Sessions’\u00a0value has fluctuated about as wildly as it can over\u00a0a short career.\u00a0 He was drafted 56th (low value), before playing two solid seasons in Milwaukee.\u00a0 Minnesota signed him to a $16 million contract that alot of people thought\u00a0was a bargain (high value).\u00a0 One year later, Minnesota basically gave him to Cleveland in a salary dump (low value); Ramon Sessions, Ryan Hollins AND a second round draft pick, essentially for Sebastian Telfair.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Since that trade, Sessions has primarily expanded his resume\u00a0as\u00a0a focal point\u00a0on a 19 win team, then\u00a0shooting 34% this season.\u00a0 So of course, now “several teams have inquired about Sessions” (high value?).\u00a0 The NBA is a wacky place sometimes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
