if this is true, then it looks like a S&T. best bet is duhon for sessions. which again adds $6 mil to the cap next season.

again i ask, why?

if the argument around these parts is why hasn't david lee gotten an offer, then why hasn't session even received an MLE offer from anybody yet? why doesn't that argument apply to him?

I can't speak for everyone else but that argument does apply with me. Lee and Sessions made the first team on the All Fantasy Basketball Squad and both are finalists for that league's MVP, the Shareef Abdur Rahim Memorial Award

Sessions for long term MLE contract will have no impact on the cap situation next summer. Apparently, DW thinks making a long-term MLE offer will get the deal done (i.e., no matching offer from the Bucks) without having to give up Duhon.

Obviously, this makes the possibility of signing Lee to anything but a one-year deal very unlikely.

Maybe he believes improving the team is key to getting a top 2010 FA? Maybe he thinks a young 15/8/4 PG on an MLE contract is an excellent S & t asset in 2010? (I sure do.)

Real talk, they're both flawed. Why has everyone else secured deals but these two?

Guess its just a C-O-N Spiracy.

The Bucks do not need Duhon. They already have Jennings as their starter and Luke Ridnour as the backup point gaurd.

It would probably be in their best interest to have Duhon start one year and have Jennings serve as his understudy rather than throw him to the wolves as a rookie.

It is best that Jennings learn the NBA system now. Not later. Jennings has too much talent to ride the bench. The Bucks are not going to win anything this year so why not let Jennings learn from his mistakes now? If Jennings was on the Knicks would we really want him to go to the bench for Duhon? If Jennings is not ready Luke Ridnour can show him the ropes. Remember the main reason for Sessions being let go is Jennings talent level.

You wouldnt want to commit to Sessions for multiple years if you draft Jennings, but having Duhon start for one year is perfect for them.

You dont want to burn out a rookie by having him start the whole season. He could start to doubt himself, anxiety could set in...better to let him back up.

Luke wont show him shyt. Duhon wont be much better for that matter, but he's better than Luke.

Bucks can waive Bowen and then still have rights to trade him for the 7 days after August 1. So, hopefully all this gets resolved sometime over the next week.

Why would it be burning out a rookie when Luke can get the minutes that's left over? No one said that Derrek Rose would be burt out last year. They just let Rose play. The Bucks are a bad team. This is not a team that needs a veteran player because they are not going to the playoffs anyway. Jennings needs to get his feet wet as soon as possible. Players built up stamina by playing. We are talking about Duhon. Not Jason Kidd. As far as doubting himself, Jennings is too ****ing for that. If anything, not starting because of a player like Duhon would be more hurtful than getting worn out in a season. If we are concerned about Jennings confidence then not starting would the main factor. Not too many minutes. Flynn is starting this season as well as Tyreek Evens. I don't see why Jennings can not do the same on a bad team. Imagine if the Bulls last year said they were not going to start Derrek Rose? Rose would had to wait until this season to show his skills when it is clear that he was NBA ready from day one.
