Cavs' Ramon Sessions drawing interest from at least 3 teams. Reghi & Roda were talking about this on WKNR yesterday and Reghi said unless the trade partner will trade a 1st round lottery pick or an all-star caliber player in return, that Sessions, moving forward as a PG, is too important to the Cavs...

If I were the Cavs there is no way I would unload Sessions. Mo has way more value. Sessions could be a nice player, definitely showing signs of it and he has a coach that can really help him develop.

Reghi said the ONLY way you'd dump Sessions is IF you were guaranteed the #1 pick AND Irving declared, both of which are still unknowns.

I agree that Byron Scott can help Sessions develop and is just the type of PG Scott needs for this offense.

Personally, I don't see them getting a #1 pick for Sessions. Maybe like #30--and that isn't worth it. Screw Irving, I think you keep Sessions, unload Mo and Jamison for what you can (could get another good pick in a deal there) and grab Sullinger if he declares. Sessions/Sullinger>Irving.

No way Mo has more trade value than Sessions. Sessions is several years younger and makes half as much. If the Cavs unload Mo they will have to take back a bad contract if they want a good pick.

Go with Sullinger right now, but a lot can change once Irving is healthy. If he can at least show glimpses of Wall/Rose in workouts, I'd take him. Freak PG don't change games, they change franchises. I think Irving will impress people in the end and go #1.

Anyone else see that Eric Snow fell asleep broadcasting the Sixers game the other night? All the video has been taken down (Copyrite claim), but I guess the PxP guy said something to him 3 times and finally said "Are you meditating?" Snow woke up and gave some answer, and in his daze mixed up a few words, lol.

What a perfect fit Battier would be for Boston.

Actually, Battier would be a perfect fit for just about any team in the NBA.

Broussard seems to think he is going to the Clippers. If I'm the Clippers I make that happen now.

That could be an interesting roll of the dice. If the Clipps continue to play poorly, the Nuggets could end up with a really high pick in the draft. With that being said, I'm not sure why they are trading Gallinari. I think he's a nice player and he is proven. More than what you can say for a potential draft pick. I guess I would only trade Gallinari if somebody completely overwhelmed me with an offer.

Sounds like the Cavs are working on something......

haha. Wine and Gold is back and RCF is blowing up. Take it for what its worth, probably just more rumors

I'm not getting this with any connection with the Cavaliers, but a friend in the league says he has caught wind of talks the Cavs have had where Greg Oden was involved. Don't know many specifics. But thought it was interesting and thought I'd mention.

^ You know anything in semi-detail. We've heard they're one of the teams, but have you read anything specific?

Sources say Clippers dangling 1st round pick from Minny to Denver for Gallinari. Pick is Top 10 protected in 2011, unprotected in 2012.

Waaaaay too much for Gallinari
