Charley Walters: Ex-Gopher Joel Przybilla from Monticello retires after making nearly $45 million over 15 seasons in NBA, residing near Milwaukee. Twitter




That is only 3 million a year, but good for Joel lasting 15 years.

I think that's enough to keep him in Coors Light for the rest of his life.

That would not be a terrible replacement for them for Lin.

OT: Report: Rockets and Ramon Sessions interested in sign-and-trade with Bucks

http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports....ions-interested-in-sign-and-trade-with-bucks/

Despite the unraveling of their depth this offseason, the Rockets are likely to make the playoffs next season.

Dwight Howard and James Harden are stars. Terrence Jones, Patrick Beverley and Trevor Ariza are solid starters.

It’s the bench that could really use work, including point guard. Houston downgraded from Jeremy Lin at backup one to recently signed Ish Smith and unproven Isaiah Canaan, neither of whom are proven rotation players.

How about Ramon Sessions, one of the best unrestricted free agents left on the market?

I get why Houston is interested in Sessions. He’s a pick-and-roll ace who can both get to the rim and distribute, though his defense is lacking.

But there are several small hurdles, which collectively add up to a decently sized impediment.

For one, there’s reaching a deal with Sessions. At this point, I figured a team could steal Sessions for a minimum contract, but if that were the case, Houston would just sign him outright. The Rockets have the bi-annual exception, which should be enough for Sessions, but they likely want to keep that available next summer. Hence, the sign-and-trade possibility – always a more-complicated option.

Houston is also over the regular-season roster limit of 15. Even if they waive the unguaranteed contracts of Alonzo Gee, Scotty Hopson and Josh Powell and the partially guaranteed contract of Robert Covington, the Rockets would have 15 players before Sessions.

That could be another reason a sign-and-trade makes sense, but the Bucks have 15 guaranteed contracts plus the desirable Kendall Marshall and expendable Chris Wright, both of whom have unguaranteed contracts. So, Milwaukee can’t mindlessly take back an extra player in a trade.

It’s tough to see all three sides making this work, but it’s easy to see why they’re trying. The Rockets could use a better backup point guard. The market has mostly dried up for Sessions. And the Bucks, who no longer have a place for Sessions, would love to get return for him. There’s definitely a chance for a deal to be reached.

For the Rockets, This would definitely make up the loss of Jeremy Lin.

I know it's The Dog Days FAMS, but did you actually start a thread about THIS?

This once beloved forum is falling apart one thread at a time!

Re: OT: Report: Rockets and Ramon Sessions interested in sign-and-trade with Bucks

Is there a general NBA Forum? Or maybe a Rockettes Forum?

Denny should look into that.

 

[BBert]

Re: OT: Report: Rockets and Ramon Sessions interested in sign-and-trade with Bucks

Or maybe we could have a thread called "Around the NBA" or something like that, and post non-Blazers happenings there?

Just a thought.

No, it's still better to put news about other teams into threads like this one, that are about non-Blazers goings-ons aound the league.

Remember that the Clippers basically traded Bledsoe to get Dudley...

If Rose is truly hobbled and not just rusty, the Cavs bump up a notch.

Isn't that what people said about LeBron James in relation to Dwyane Wade when James joined Miami?

Not that I think Love will eclipse James and be the best player in basketball, but I think he'll probably pull his own weight.

Almost every team got better this offseason except Philly. The east will be more competitive for sure. I still have the Bulls at the top of the heap there.

with the shaky condition of Rose's knee's IMO that is a very precarious top of the heap pick, I gotta go for Lebron and CLE

Agreed. Rose was already icing his both knees ala Brandon Roy. No play today, I do believe.

Well if a FIBA trophy is the peak for Rose's career, I guess it's worth the test drive.
