Vote on who would be the best of the realistic options to run the point next season. I'm not really liking the options at this point. I think I'd go for Iverson and try to run Iverson and Duhon together.

Duhon and Sessions. We don't need Tinsley as a one year rental. We need to build.

lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

Any four-year deal offered to Sessions would have to be similar in structure to the five-year deal that Trevor Ariza just signed with the Rockets: $5.8 million in the first season, roughly $6.3 million on the cap for the 2010-11 season, 6.8 for 2011-12 and $7.2 for 2012-13.

Y'all happy with Sessions at these #s?

I went with Raymond Felton. I think he's better than he's given credit and also think he's a bit of late bloomer. He's fast and think he'd thrive here.

Second choice is AI.

Alan Hahn: Nate Robinson has been on a ridonkulous scoring tear lately (remember when he couldn't hit Jerome James with a Big Mac in early January?)

Yes, a player who shoots 17% from down town, can't hit the side of a barn from more than 10 feet from the rim, plays little defense, and makes a slew of mental errors is exactly the man we need to lock up for the full MLE and proclaim him our starting PG and the guy who will entice LeBron to sign here and lead us to the NBA Finals.

Not seeing this working out at all. You read Bucks forums and the majority of the fans really don't like Sessions one bit. Say he can't shoot, can't defend, and is sloppy with the ball.

Where are you guys seeing such a great young talent? Why is Milwaukee eager to let him walk? I admit I haven't looked much into Sessions but what I have seen makes me puke when I see people type that he's a future star PG for a contending team.

Dudu is OK.
By the way why LaBron needs pointguard on his team? He has the ball all he time regardless...
We should start thinking about a point after he will finaly reject us. No rush. This will happened in a year or so...

grass is greener...

unless you watch a guy play 50+ games, you really don't know what kind of player he really is. i don't know if sessions is good or bad, but if bucks fans say that about him, then i trust their opinions more than guys here.

just like other fans may like david lee, y'all know more about his game than they do.

Good points and I feel the same way. I just hope other teams looking at our S&T of David Lee process watched the 2 games per year he played against them, youtube highlights, and read the posts of his closest followers.

Yet, seriously, I don't see why Sessions is so talked up highly on Knick forums, talked lowly on Bucks forums, and has zero market outside of us potentially signing him to a deal, that is dictated in size on whether or not the Bucks drop Bowen. They keep Bowen then they can match Sessions up to say 3M. They drop Bowen then they can match an MLE Sessions offer I think.

This guy is so great that the bidding is down to two teams waiting to see what Bowen's contract status is?

Really?

This is our future All-Star PG that will lead us to the promised land and have guys like LeBron or Wade licking their chops to take our 2010 cap space? Yeah?

Uh.. NO.

No way....

17% from down town. From a guard. This isn't just about 3pt shooting. This is about shooting in general. You can't throw it in from down town you also can't throw it in from 18 feet.

We have one of these, he's a forward but we have him and have seen what him not being able to shoot can do to our offense. His name is Jared Jeffries. When he's out there his lack of offense triples whatever his supposed defensive abilities do for us.

Sessions....eh....really, no thanks. 17% down town. That is just a HUGE red flag. Mike D's offense might allow players to be their best but jeez. 17% from 3? And you're a GUARD!? Hell, Mike's offense demands that POWER FORWARDS shoot better than that from 3!

Move along, people, nothing to see here.

One last thing: If the guy was crap on a crap team in Milwaukee how is it that he's going to be great on this crap 2009 roster?

DJ: You said it best. Grass is greener. And we all know how that works. Once you cross the road without getting mowed down? It's not greener.

Let the Bucks outbid themselves to retain Sessions. We got better things going on. I'd rather watch DOUGLAS play than Sessions! I'd rather retain NATE than watch Sessions. Whatever this fascination is with Sessions I implore all my fellow Knick fans to punch themselves in the face and breath deep and come to your senses.

This guy is a nobody that no one wants but you want him and muse he's a star in the making? Que?

Funny pic, but, useless... Duhon is better than Sessions.

What are we in the Isiah age now? Flavor of the week? Unreal.

The global Knick fan uproar over not signing Sessions is just unfathomable. There is zero reason for it. We might as well be marching up to Walsh's house with pitchforks and torches because Rick Brunson isn't being tabbed as our starting point guard for the next century.

Honestly...what gives with this bizarre obsession with a mediocre guard that, get this, NOBODY WANTS NOT EVEN HIS OWN DAMN TEAM, WHO SUCKS, WANTS HIM.

You guys are crazy.

Douglas looked pretty good in SL. Yes, it's only SL but he was everyhting else in college, top defender, a scorer ball handler and during the summer showed he can repress the shoot first tendencies to dish. Duhon looked pretty decent until the overworking wiped him out. If Douglas can spell him for 15-20 mins a game we can save the cap room for next year.

No flavor of the month here. I wrote that Knicks should go after Session for a cheap price and a short contract right after the draft before the paper said that as well as Andre Miller. I am not a person that follow others. At same time you can't get mad because fans want certain players. That being said, Bucks do not want Sessions because they the have Jennings. That is a good reason for them not wanting Sessions. I will say again, the Knicks should have built up their backcourt through the draft. Not only that, look at the team. The Bucks let T.J Ford go because they had Mo Williams. They let Mo Williams go because they had Sessions. That is Bucks pattern with point guards. The Knicks do not want Nate. So does that mean he sucks? The Bucks let RJ go. Does that mean he sucks?

The truth is we should have tried to drafted a player that could be a starting at point guard right now. That way the Knicks would not be looking to recuit a point right now. As far as Duhon, he has to be able to play a whole season. Is Session better than him? We have to wait and see but we do know that Session can get to the paint with ease. Duhon on the other hand is a different story. Either way the Knicks will only get around 30 something wins. It's just matters who the fans enjoy seeing on the court. Whatever happens If you are Duhon right now your spirt can not be that high trying to return. If the Knicks don't pick up a point guard this season they are still going to have the same problems next season. They still will need to get a point guard as well as sign one max player.

If the Knicks only option is Duhon or Sessions you better believe they are going to pick Sessions. Why get only mad at the fans when the gm will be the one pulling the strings?

If we get Sessions, Duhon becomes a nice ending contract we can move for a pick when someone's starter gets hurt.
