[IronMaxipad]

The Los Angeles Lakers have acquired Ramon Sessions, according to sources close to the situation:
Amico:

Cavs send Sessions & Eyenga to LA for Luke Walton and 2012 first rounder.

:lobt2:


The Los Angeles Lakers have acquired point guard Ramon Sessions from the Cleveland Cavaliers as part of a multi-player deal that will bring the Cavs the Lakers' 2012 first-round pick, according to league sources.

The Cavs also will send young wing player Christian Eyenga to the Lakers and veteran forward Luke Walton will be going to the Cavs. The Lakers' will keep their draft pick this year if they miss the playoffs. As part of the deal, the Lakers also will have the right to swap first-round draft position in 2013 with the Miami Heat's first round pick, which the Cavs own.

Sessions is averaging 10.5 points and 5.2 assists for the Cavs this season and fills a need for the Lakers, who have been in the market for a true point guard. Sessions is earning $4.2 million this season and is scheduled to earn $4.5 million next season, which is his option.

Walton, who has battled injuries over the last several years, has one year and $6.1 million left on his contract -- he's played in just nine games this year. Eyenga has played in just six games and has spent time in the D-League.

Good pickup for Bynum and the boys, tbh.

Sessions helps to moderate the regular season...Fisher will be our title game closer...once we sign Beasely for a bag of chips just make sure your boys show up to the big dance

[ChrisRichards]

I don't know why you guys are laughing, I keep telling y'all Luke Walton is a valuable commodity next season. He's a 6 million expiring.

Cuz Fish has actually closed.

Walton will just love Cleveland. tee, hee.

OK then. Thanks for the link!

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Man, what the fuck Cleveland?

[ChrisRichards]

You guys got Eyenga too? Dude has a lot of potentiall tbh, great speed, length and athleticism, but he probably wont see minutes with Barnes, Artest, Kobe getting most minutes at his position.

[Banzai]

lmao..I'm wondering..maybe the nixed CP3 deal might have been a good thing. Keep Pau..and basically give up nothing later on. Thanks Stern?

Let's examine this:

Sessions is averaging 10 and 5...can shoot, can finish, not afraid to fail. All the qualities he needs to play with Kobe..and Kobe will make him even better...Giving up a guy averaging less than 1 ppg for Sessions is a real fuck Session :hat

[IronMaxipad]

30 minutes left. Seal the deal Mitch

[DJ Mbenga]

the 2 boyfriends traded on the same day.

[Banzai]

"Looks like a Lakers championship run is....

*Puts on sunglasses*

In session."

[Koolaid_Man]

If we can pull off of Beasly for Blake in the next 20 min I just might shit myself...getting rid of Blake and Walton in the span of 1 hr is just too much to bear....lol

[ChrisRichards]

Its funny how Dan Gilbert was so worked up about the Lakers improving and saving money a few months ago yet he did exactly the same for them by giving them a legit PG and swallowing Lukes contract and his trade kicker :lol. Granted its not as huge as the CP3 deal but you get the point.

Cavs have something like 5 1st rounders in the next 2 drafts. He sees it as an investment for young players

Good move for Rockets. They will have someone to mentor their young PGs.

[Sportcamper]

In all seriousness this seasons personnel acquisitions have been atrocious for the Lakers…David Stern was not just going to sit back & watch the Lakers fall apart…:toast

[HarlemHeat37]

Great trade for the Lakers..

Sessions won't fit as well, since he needs the ball to be effective, but a massive upgrade over LA's other PGs..

DPG and I were right about 'dem Lakers..

[LkrFan]

I'll read this thread later. I'm gone say this shit for now:

The Lakers traded Luke MF'n Walton and upgraded the PG position with Sessions!! That shit right there is Kwame for Pauesque!! :rollin Can't wait to read the responses to this shit!! :lmao

[024]

lakers getting away with murder. did the cavs really take back less talent and more money for a measly first round pick??

[DPG21920]

While the Cavs are extremely stupid for doing this deal (in terms of value, the extra money for Walton is cheaper than buying a first rounder for 3M which is the going rate).

Golden State is even dumber for paying 11M for the Spurs first rounder which is about the same as LA's.

[JamStone]

In the meantime, I want to make one statement to you tonight:

"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER 'KING' WINS ONE"

You can take it to the bank.

Sessions owned the Lakers last year. They were impressed.

Dan Gilbert: owner of the Cleveland Generals

Dude bitches about the CP trade then he does this for the same team? Maybe guilt?

^Beasley is a loser. And he's in a loser's circle. It happens.

[Giuseppe]

Could've been our Odom off the bench. He's a crackhead but he's not an emotional train wreck

He's as crazy as a shithouse rat.

Please.

[KidCongo]

Damn Eyenga is on the Lakers...new screen name stat!

Sessions is a great pick-up but has been rumoured for quite a while. I'm keen to see if Kapano has anything left these days to see if he can space the floor for Kyrie.

The Cavs needed to get ready of him, need more L's and that extra draft pick could be something special who knows.

[Donkeybong]

Fish would have been irritated. And brown doesn't have the balls to bench him.
