Well there goes Batum to the Spurs this summer.
I dont understand how trading a lottery pick in this draft for Gerald Wallace is supposed to entice D-Will to stay.
What do they have to offer?

Cleveland will get the Lakers 2012 first-round pick in the Ramon Sessions trade, league source tells Y! Brian Windhorst 1st reported deal.
Lakers get Ramon Sessions for a future draft pick.

The nets are better with Wallace, are they not? D-will can walk, but he will be leaving alot of $ on the table if he does...
Plenty of young cheap and/or expiring contracts plus a first round draft pick.
Good trade for the lakers..Did they ever trade Blake?
On Paper they are but we all know what happened with RJ.
Yes, but you are only going to get cheap contracts in return..Not sure of many teams who have good players with cheap contracts who want to get rid of them
I don't think it has sunk in on a lot of fans yet that this is the reality of the new CBA. That graduated lux tax is too much even for teams like Dallas and LA to pay. Something's gotta give. Max players are still going to be max players. (Although I think that eventually there will be fewer of them.) So the days of marginal players with stupid-big contracts is probably over.
Just my opinion, but I don't think this is just one-time salary dumping. It's also a correction of those mid-range salaries. In the future, we'll see some max-contract guys getting dumped, too, when they aren't living up to their top-tier promise. I would guess that teams with cap space will pick up some big name players for peanuts most seasons.
Nope. Blake still with team...
Dude, could you even name the SF for the Nets before this trade? I couldn't, they are much better with Wallace..
Come on Spurs FO, at least float a rumor that you're going to do something...
....or that you're trying to do something
So luke walton was apart of that sessions deal from what I'm reading...
No. But if Wallace is the best you have to offer for D-Will to stay, then your really playing with fire.
I find the complete silence surrounding the Spurs promising.
I thinks its a great trade for the Nets. Not only do they get a good SF, they good good player with a contract for only 2 years, thus leaving open the possiblity of major cap room following next season for D-howard still. A starting lineup of D-will, Brooks,Wallace,Humphrey,and lopez is not too bad..
ing Sessions for Walton? Walton's not even an expiring. WTF Cavs?
Spurs, with various combinations of players can take back about ~5-6M for one player. I don't think it's an issue of a player (Beasley just as an example), but an issue of Spurs not wanting to eat cap space and making a decision to save as much money as possible. It's not about pushing for a le because they know they arent good enough unless they trade or add a decent buyout candidate (even then it's prob not enough).
No trade signals to me they value cap space at this point.
I heard it was originally for the Lakers' 2012 1st rounder and their TPE.
