Yardbarker: Ramon Sessions

Bucks decline to match Wolves' offer to Sessions

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 20:29:11 -0500

The Minnesota Timberwolves have signed guard Ramon Sessions, after the Milwaukee Bucks declined to match their $16 million, four-year contract offer to the restricted free agent. The 6-foot-3 Sessions averaged 12.4 points, 5.7 assists and 27.5 minutes last season for the Bucks. The 23-year-old had 12 20-point games, and his assist-to-turnover ratio was ninth best in the NBA.

Bucks don’t match T-Wolves’ offer for Sessions

Fri, 11 Sep 2009 20:10:21 -0500

I’ve written about this ad nauseam, but the Bucks elected not to match Minnesota’s offer for up-and-coming point guard Ramon Sessions. Even with the whole Ricky Rubio/Jonny Flynn mess strategy, this is a nice move by the Timberwolves. Sessions can play a little off guard, but he and Flynn will have some battles in practice and [...]

Sessions heading to the Timberwolves

Sat, 05 Sep 2009 15:33:59 -0500

ESPN's Chris Sheridan first reported yesterday, September the 4th, that Milwaukee Bucks' restricted free agent PG Ramon Sessions agreed in signing an offer sheet with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Once he sings the offer sheet, the Bucks will have a week to match which they are not expected to do because they already signed Carlos Delfino as a replacement for Sessions. The signing of Sessions, most importantly for how much time he'll sign, just proves what almost everybody kind of ...

Timberwolves sign Sessions to offer sheet

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 16:14:04 -0500

The Minnesota Timberwolves wasted little time moving on after being rebuffed by Ricky Rubio. Two days after the 18-year-old point guard backed out of a deal to join the Timberwolves this season, Minnesota signed restricted free agent Ramon Sessions to an offer sheet Friday. The Milwaukee Bucks will have seven days to match the four-year, $16 million offer.

Sessions and Lee finally find their homes

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 14:03:12 -0500

Nothing too immediate for the Blazers here, but the Timberwolves just got Ramon Sessions at a super-discounted rate of $4 million a year if the Bucks don’t match the offer sheet. To put that in perspective, that’s about a million less than Steve Blake will make this season. As for David Lee, he’s going to end [...]

The Bucks' guard rotation still contains a bit of mystery because of the uncertain status of restricted free agent Ramon Sessions. The New York Knicks are interested in Sessions but want to preserve cap space for the summer of 2010, and he remains without a contract offer. Sessions could take the Bucks' $1 million qualifying offer but would be part of a crowded four-man group and would still have restricted status next summer. "Nothing has changed from our standpoint,&qu...

More Sessions Non-News - Actually, Nonsense This Time

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 16:16:27 -0500

This stuff just makes me crazy. Here's a blog post originating from the New York Post earlier today: Now that the Bucks have traded for former Raptors PG Roko Ukic, it seems unlikely they will have room for restricted free agent Ramon Sessions. Knicks president Donnie Walsh is interested in Sessions, but doesn't want to tie up long-term money before next year's free-agent class. But with little interest around the league, Sessions may have to agree to a one- or two-year d...

A Plea to Bucks Management, Please Keep Sessions

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 07:44:51 -0500

It is being reported that the Knicks will make a MLE exception offer to Ramon Sessions by Tuesday. My plea to the Bucks is, MATCH. If the Knicks offer is 4 years or less, I think a match should be automatic. Do not overthink, do not justify letting a top five point guard go, do [...]
