Los Angeles Lakers To Accelerate Pursuit Of Ramon Sessions
Now that the NBA All-Star game is quickly approaching and the NBA trade deadline (which is March 15) is also quickly approaching there is sure to be a lot of talk about which players will be moved to different locations. The most notable potential trade is one involving Dwight Howard, of course, who seems to want out of Orlando although he is sending mixed signals. For the Lakers though it doesn’t seem that a trade for Howard is likely and instead they are turning to possible trades for Michael Beasley, Pau Gasol, and Ramon Sessions.
There also is the possibility of the Lakers signing Gilbert Arenas which may be directly linked to the possible acquisition of Sessions.According to HoopsHype.com, and RealGM.com, the Lakers are very interested in acquiring Sessions or maybe even Arenas. “(The) Lakers (are) likely to “accelerate” pursuit of Cavs’ Ramon Sessions over All-Star break, says Western Conference source.” According to RealGM.com, “The pursuit of Gilbert Arenas by the Lakers appears to also be tied to a possible trade for Ramon Sessions. Sources believe theLakers can acquire Sessions for a first round pick. If they are unable to acquire Sessions or a comprable player, the Lakers may then turn to Arenas.”
The Lakers could certainly use the help of Sessions or Arenas as their bench has been considerably lackluster this season. As long as the Lakers don’t have to give up too much Kupchak needs to pull the trigger on a deal for Sessions because, although Sessions isn’t a huge upgrade over Derek Fisher, he is an upgrade.
