He still has the MLE to play with and the 1 is our biggest need. If it's true we aren't getting serious with Ramon, then I hope we either we have an inside track on Miller (rather have Sessions) or some sort of S&T is in the works, hopefully gettig us a PG for MDAs system. Sessions seems like the best bet, so I don't know. Maybe he opts for Miller at 1 year to maintain max flexibility in '10. Still, rather invest in Sessions and roll the dice on his improvement.

I wonder if Walsh is bluffing or maybe the Jerryd Bayless rumors are heating up?

It could have something to do with Andre Miller.

The Bayless-NY rumor has only been suggested here, so right now its unlikely that has anything to do. Things can change so who knows, but this seems to be a strategy to get Miller or Sessions cheap.

Well yeah about the Bayless to NY rumors, but there have been rumors that he's trade bait. I'm just sayin...

Whether it's Bayless, Miller or someone else, something's probably going on that's taking DW's attention from Sessions.

Bottom line here - if we get Sessions for a multi-year deal at about $6 or 7 mil. per and do nothing else we'll have a payroll of about $40 mil. eventually - only about 10 mil. to offer a 2010 FA, so not enough. And if we add Lee then it balloons to about $48-50 mil. for the summer of 2010 - right at the projected cap.

We might have to start thinking about 2011. Maybe that's the way to go - get Sessions, reup Lee and maybe even Nate too and start focusing on 2011. That might be our year in FA, not 2010. Sad to say but I just don't see how we'll be able to do anything in the summer of 2010 even if we just brought in Sessions alone, forget even bringing back Lee. I don't see how we'd be able to go get even one of these top 2010 FAs. Curry and Jeffries are the world's biggest cap killers I swear...

See my signature for Plan B in case Plan A (2010) doesn't pan out. We've waited this long. What's another 2 seasons? Only 164 games of suffering!

Sources tell WAOW in Wisconsin that the Knicks are ready to offer Ramon Sessions a five-year contract.

With a first-season salary around $5.8 million, the Knicks would be using all or nearly all of their mid-level exception.

The Bucks would have seven days to match the offer sheet or let Sessions join the Knicks.

I am glad if this is true. I think Sessions is the right PG for the Knicks. In a few years, we can take a fresh look at Rubio. But we need our playmaker now. I think Sessions has lots of potential. Hopefully he can improve his help defense and 3pt shooting, but I like his vision and hoops IQ.

** Gah, again missed the topic already posted. **
