2009 Free-Agency Thread

I doubt Miami matches, they wanted to trade him after they got him.

 

[Mexi]

yeah miami probably wont match since they want to get Odom and want money for next year too

Ron Artest called Lamar Odom in hopes of getting him back in LA <3

Gery Woelfel reports that the Knicks are likely to offer their mid-level exception to restricted free-agent Ramon Sessions.

The Bucks would have seven days to decide whether or not to match the offer sheet.

Woelfel says the offer could be made "by Tuesday or sooner."

Steve Nash told the Suns over the weekend that he will accept a two-year extension worth an estimated $22 million, according to team sources.

Nash is expected to formally announce the decision on his Twitter feed at some point on Monday.

Phoenix offered Nash a two-year, $20 million extension two weeks ago, then increased the offer during a meeting in Las Vegas last week.

The agreement means he's under contract with the Suns through the 2011-12 season.

The Los Angeles Clippers agreed to trade Quentin Richardson to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Sebastian Telfair, Mark Madsen and Craig Smith on Monday.

Madsen spoke to his agent on Monday to confirm the deal.

The trade is expected to be announced later Monday after the teams complete a trade call with the league.

Ramon Sessions' agent, Jimmy Wells, said Monday that an offer to his client may be near.

"We're getting close with three teams," Wells said. He confirmed that two of the suitors are the Clippers and Knicks.

It is possible that the Clippers' trade to acquire Sebastian Telfair will cause them to drop out of the running for Sessions.

Wells said he did not know whether Milwaukee would match an offer sheet that the restricted free-agent Sessions signs.

"I don't know what the Bucks are thinking," Wells said.

Like I said before the Bucks would probably match an offer sheet for the MLE, but If they choose to let him go, and go with Jennings/Ridnour then I would love to have Sessions in NY.

Doubt it happens, but we should still explore an S&T for him.

 

[Pugz]

Sessions and Charlie V both weren't wanted in Milwaukee. I said that right when FAcy started. But the MLE is cheap so they may opt to keep him. I;d still say that it's higher then 50% you guys get him though.

I hope so, Duhon played alot better last year then I expected, but he got tired towards the end of the season since we didnt have a backup PG. Nate got most of his minutes as an off-guard.

Idk who would start, since Duhon has a year of the offense under his belt, but Sessions shown games where he played great.

 

[elcheato]

The Bucks would be dumb not to match, they could trade him off after December when they're allowed. It would be a bad business decision not to match a one year offer.

 

[Pugz]

From what I read it would be more then one year at the MLE, I'll try to find the article. But I think it said 4 years.

 

[The Young One]

No the bucks like sessions its just skiles had a man crush on ridnour idk why cuz dude is a scrub. They should match it.

 

[Mexi]

TYO he's not a scrub

Ramon is better, but Ridnour had almost identical stats in the same amount of minutes
