Wolves trade R.Sessions, R.Hollins to Cavs for D.West, S.Telfair

[QuebecBaller]

Sessions and Hollins for West and Telfair

Good trade for the Wolves, it give them 2 pg :lol


"Still working on confirmation, but here's what just heard: Sebastian Telfair and Delonte West to Minny for Ramon Sessions and Ryan Hollins." - Bob Finnan

[BankShot]

As a Wolves fan, i'd rather keep Hollins, and acquiring West doesn't intrigue me at all.

[Blackisbig]

Good for the Wolves. Clears up more playing time for Darko, and gives you two more guards at the same time.


KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNN

[twolvesfan]

Fail for Kahn in the sense that Sessions was signed to be a trade able asset, now we have to give a 2nd pick to give him away:oldlol: :(

[flipogb]

LOL instead of getting rid of a PG , he trades 1 for 2 more , Kahn is insane

West
Flynn
Telfair
Ridnour
Rubio (if he comes over)

lol

[QuebecBaller]

And it was two season ago that Telfair was a Wolves... They traded him for who? I don't remember

[DirtBag]

The Timberwolves must be Kahns least favorite team in the league..

reminds me of a joke by Dov Davidoff, talks about someone taking a knife to his bike seat and saying how pissed off and low someone must be to see a bike and say "look at this rich mother ****er with his ten speed"

How much must Kahn hate the Wolves to go out of his way to ruin them, because I refuse to believe he actually thinks these are good moves that he is making.

[D-Rose]

They're going to release Delonte most likely bc of his unguaranteed contract.

[hawkfan]

Please Hawks - do this:

Hawks get

Ramon Sessions

Wolves get

Mo Evans
Jeff Teague

Do it! Get an upgrade at point guard for the Hawks. And the Wolves get two expirers, who can contribute this year, freeing up cap space.

[D-Rose]

OP change the title please, trade is agreed on.

At least, Kahn cleared out salary cap space by getting Delonte's waiveable contract.

Bad trade for the Cavs.

They should keep their cap space open for next summer when they can pull a Miami and go after some A level free agents.

[bagelred]

:roll:

Check this out. Even huupshype is confused with Minnesota's neverending Point Guard frenzy. I screen captured their rumor page. Look before its deleted.

I don't know what the Wolves have more : Cap space or PG?

[insidehoops]

Delonte West: The exclamation point to his day came when the Cavaliers agreed to trade him to the Minnesota Timberwolves, along with point guard Sebastian Telfair, for guard Ramon Sessions, center Ryan Hollins and a second-round pick in 2013. The trade is pending league approval (http://www.morningjournal.com/articles/2010/07/26/sports/doc4c4e28a873c7b991736083.txt). It was only a matter of time before West was shipped to points unknown. The 6-3, 180-pounder dragged the Cavs through much drama during the 2009-10 season. He was arrested in September 2009 on six weapons charges, which included a loaded shotgun and an 8-inch machete. Morning Journal (http://www.morningjournal.com/articles/2010/07/26/sports/doc4c4e28a873c7b991736083.txt)

[InspiredLebowski]

Soooo I still haven't figured out why Minnesota is so interested in having all this capspace.

Does Cleveland look to move Mo Williams now, or is Sessions just a backup?

[imdaman99]

Hell yes, the Cavs making a push to become the 8th seed and knock out the Heat in the 1st round, sign me up :D

[MK2V1GP]

Minny was stupid to let go of Hollins. I think he's got a bit of Tyson Chandler upside (only better) in him.

Minny will release BOTH Telfair and Wes

[niko]

Does Kahn have some sort of strategy with all the PG's? Is it just a coincidence or is he planning an all PG team in a strange don nelsonish move?

They'll release Telfair too? Link?

West will def be waived imo. Yahoo said they might explore a trade for Telfair, he has small $ and 1 yr left.

:cletus: BABY COME HERE! I DUN ACQUIRED ME SOME MO ASSETS.

[B-Low]

Ok Cavs fan here who knows NOTHING about sessions. Somebody tell me a little about him

Dahntay Jones for Telfair? Probably not.

[Black Joker]

Ok Cavs fan here who knows NOTHING about sessions. Somebody tell me a little about him
+1

all i know is that he's fairly young, and put up some nice stats near the end of his run in Milwaukee.

[InspiredLebowski]

I hope Kahn keeps West so when Sota plays Miami Lebron will be terrified

[bagelred]

Wait....West can be bought out for $500,000? Oh.....so that makes sense. That's nothing compared to his salary.

Why was it necessary to trade for Telfair though? :hammerhead:

[kentatm]

Minny was stupid to let go of Hollins. I think he's got a bit of Tyson Chandler upside (only better) in him.

Hollins has talent but I think he may be one of the dumbest players in the NBA.

dude has negative court IQ

Wolves will waive Delonte West, source tells Y! Sports.

So who wants Delonte? Miami? lol jk

He'd be a good fit in Boston in terms of toughness and helping their bench but his mental issues with KG in the same locker room...

[twolvesfan]

Minny was stupid to let go of Hollins. I think he's got a bit of Tyson Chandler upside (only better) in him.

:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :facepalm :facepalm :oldlol: For every highlight you see of him (he can throw down impressive dunks) there are about 50 other boneheaded plays he makes. He is a horrible player.

[twolvesfan]

Does Kahn have some sort of strategy with all the PG's? Is it just a coincidence or is he planning an all PG team in a strange don nelsonish move?
This time hopefully he just cuts them.

[twolvesfan]

+1

all i know is that he's fairly young, and put up some nice stats near the end of his run in Milwaukee.
He loves to draw contact and get to the free throw line. He doesn't have a good shot at all and he knows that. Because of his bad shot he hardly ever shoots jumps shots so he does have an OK percentage. He was a decent man defender here in Minny. He is also a very streaky shooter which will be frustrating at times.

[usdmef9]

two biggest bone heads on one team now in West and Beasley.

[1~Gibson~1]

As a Cavs fan, im happy with the trade. even though i didnt want us to, the entire Cavs fanbase knew that he was out the door. but, at least we got back a nice young PG for our uptempo offense, and a young Center that can actually run the floor and is very athletic (havent had one of those in a while lol). we also got a future pick (2013 second-rounder) in the deal.

it wasnt a "blockbuster", but imo it was a good deal on our part.

[Al Thornton]

lolkahn

[opps]

two biggest bone heads on one team now in West and Beasley.

and they look alike lol

[Batz]

Wtf is Kahn doing...?

[Meticode]

I like this trade. Delonte West had to be moved because of his personal problems, him being in/out of the lineup constantly because of his mental status was sort of annoying.

We got back a quality point guard and it would be awesome if he could play like he did in Milwaukee two years ago. And he's still only 24. And he's shown the ability to be a point guard/facilitator first, scorer second.

Then there's the second-round draft pick we got, which means now the Cavaliers have 7 first round picks, 8 second round picks over the next 5 years.

[Jasper]

I would hope that Mo Williams will backup Sessions , unfortunately unless they move Mo , Sessions is on the bench.

I think he is a pretty dynamic player , he likes to dish or finish in the lane ... and he plays bigger than he is.
Not super fast , but good speed , and has good handles as well as passes well.
When in Milwaukee his mid range jumper was suspect, and played average defense.

With all the time he spent on the bench last year in Minny - his jumper might of improved to the point , he might be a sleeper PG in the league right now.

He is definitely an up grade for the Cav's ....

The bltch : He's one of my fav players and now on the Cav's ... Am I supposed to root for them , or can I hurray for Ramon alone :confusedshrug:

[DuMa]

delonte needs to go to charlotte

[dirkdiggler41]

The Timberwolves will waive guard Delonte West, who they acquired in a trade with the Cavaliers on Monday night, according to sources.

Marc J. Spears of Yahoo! Sports wrote the following on his Twitter page moments after the trade was officially completed.

Cleveland acquired Ramon Sessions, Ryan Hollins and a second round pick in 2013 from Minnesota in exchange for West and Sebastian Telfair.

http://twitter.com/SpearsNBAYahoo


Where will West end up? He got a bad rep now, but when he is 99%, he is overall a great ball player, on both sides of the court. I love to see him as a mav, but we got to many small guards.

[Grinder]

Good defender, can play both the 1 and 2, athletic, can shoot, take it to the rack, has a great mid range game. Too bad he's a headcase.

The Bobcats could use him.

[FormerSunsFan]

his career is over (blackballed). maybe he can join marbury over in china.

[wang4three]

I fear this guy is going to be blackballed from the NBA.

[wpdougie2180]

The Heat

Lebron Mom would want it that way:banana:

[HylianNightmare]

this guy is way too solid to not get picked up by a team

[SinJackal]

his career is over (blackballed). maybe he can join marbury over in china.

Why would be be blackballed? The gun charges? Arenas isn't going to be blackballed for his gun charges.

I don't see him being blackballed for that LeBron's mom thing either. LeBron doesn't have that kind of pull.

Someone will sign him. He's a decent role player.

[zORi]

this guy is way too solid to not get picked up by a team

Yeah, btw does anyone know what the criteria is to become a GM in Minnesota? Seems like all you have to do is walk through the door.

[kentatm]

I wouldn't mind Dallas replacing JJ Barea with him.

[SevereUpInHere]

We (Knicks) could use him at the 2 spot. And to get into Bron's head in games v Miami.

[FormerSunsFan]

I don't see him being blackballed for that LeBron's mom thing either. LeBron doesn't have that kind of pull.

Man, I am not a Lebron guy, but it seems to me that he does have a lot of pull around the League. For instance, the recent Chris Paul developments. And he has that firm--(LRMR).

[QuebecBaller]

The Celtics should sign West to replace Tony Allen

[thejumpa]

Man, I am not a Lebron guy, but it seems to me that he does have a lot of pull around the League. For instance, the recent Chris Paul developments. And he has that firm--(LRMR).

Please. LeBron doesn't have that kind of pull. If West somehow got on Sterns bad side, then I could see something like that hurting him. I highly doubt that a "rumor that could have truth to it" is going to hurt Delonte West in the long run. The guy can ball...period. He'll get a deal somewhere.

I agree with Boston signing him. He would fit perfectly there.

[Bigsmoke]

he's a good player... come to Chi-town!

[Captain Kirk]

I'd love him in Chicago or Boston.

[JayGuevara]

He should go back to Boston. I liked him there. :cheers:

[HylianNightmare]

The Celtics should sign West to replace Tony Allen


oh man, that would be a great pickup by the celtics
http://i.a.cnn.net/si/2006/writers/kelly_dwyer/03/06/champs.chumps/t1_west.jpg

west would be great to come off the bench for the celtics and i would consider him an upgrade over TA because in addition to being a solid defender and a good outside shooter, he can play a bit of point

[Quata]

ill take him on the jazz, can play some minutes behind dwill at the 1 and backup 2.
Williams/West/Price
Bell/West/Miles
AK/Miles

[boozehound]

this guy is way too solid to not get picked up by a team
so, they signed sessions last year and now traded him for a guy they will waive? This deal is nuts. I would way rather have west on my squad than both sessions and hollins.

[TAZORAC]

He[s a solid point guard, give you 12 points and 4-5 assiit a night, somebody will sign him

[boozehound]

also, how the **** to they play williams and sessions at the same time? Or is Mo next to go?

[LosBulls]

Damn West in Chicago would be great. He could replace Ben Gordon.

[MeLO MvP 15]

Boston, NY and Charlotte should all want him

[kidachi]

[HylianNightmare]

also, how the **** to they play williams and sessions at the same time? Or is Mo next to go?

they have to move mo, it makes no sense to keep him around

Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahnnnnnnnnnn

Ben "clutch" Gordon is kinda irreplaceable but i would love West to here because he's defesive present and being able to create is own offense. Hell, Brewer isnt gonna be in my mind of we pick up West :cheers:

[Captain Kirk]

I think New York could use him a lot. They need a better shooter at the 2, and it makes moving Wilson Chandler in any possible deal so much easier.

[Lebron23]

David Kahn is a horrible GM.

[NuggetsFan]

He'd be a good pickup if he could keep his shit together off the court. Good defensive player that can play both guard positions and can shoot the ball.

[ukballer]

LOL THE Cavs are ****ed up big-time.

I heard they asked for Michael Beasley :lol yea rite

wat

[ImmortalD24]

Do it Mitch.

[SinJackal]

so, they signed sessions last year and now traded him for a guy they will waive? This deal is nuts. I would way rather have west on my squad than both sessions and hollins.

The Wolves GM is an absolute nightmare for T-Wolves fans. Does this waive shock anyone? It's like he's trying to get rid of every decent player on the team to try and be the worst team in the NBA next year for more lottery balls. Sad thing is, he's dumped players he could have been building around (Jefferson).



Damn West in Chicago would be great. He could replace Ben Gordon.

No way. Ben was clutch in the reg season and playoffs. West choked in the playoffs last year when he had an important role on the team.

[Lebron23]

Good trade for the Cavaliers. Sessions is a good backup PG.

[MrMAgic023]

Please Hawks - do this:

Hawks get

Ramon Sessions

Wolves get

Mo Evans
Jeff Teague

Do it! Get an upgrade at point guard for the Hawks. And the Wolves get two expirers, who can contribute this year, freeing up cap space.


haha cause that can happen......

[BigTicket]

I haven't seen Hollins play much, so its hard for me to really rate this trade. Sessions is solid and does fill a need for the Cavs.

Right now I'm mostly sad that we lost Delonte. He was a headcase, but I liked the guy, and he was a great bench player. Hope he gets the chance to continue playing somewhere, just don't want that somewhere to be Miami. We already lost Lebron and Z to them, I don't want Delonte to go there as well.

[Durant35]

Sessions to Hickson

:rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

Hickson for Most Improved Player of the Year.

[sixerfan3511]

Sessions went to my school (Nevada) so I've seen him play a decent amount. He can run a team, but as people have noted, he's not a very good shooter. He can shoot decently from mid-range, but no 3 point range. But he is only 24 I believe so he has plenty of time to grow, and he had a 20 assist game in Milwaukee a couple years ago. He also averaged around 8 assists as a starter. Good pickup for Cleveland. West had to go, and now Minnesota essentially deals their top 2 free agent pickups from last off season for a buyout candidate and a 3rd PG. Wow Kahn...

[Knicks101]

oh man, that would be a great pickup by the celtics

[niko]

The Wolves fans are where teh Knick fans were with Isiah, where you almost had to try to defend and find meaning with the moves because it just seemed too impossibly illogical and ridiculous that our GM was making moves that a blind retarded monkey would think were wrong.

Basically, if you need to write 1,000 words explaining the complex reasons a move is correct even though it looks stupid, it's probably actually just stupid.

i believe that's a real pic lol/. Delonte was traded from Boston to Seattle/OKC, and from Seattle/OKC to Cleveland.....or something like that. but yea i think that pic is real.

[Steve212]

Though Ryan Hollins did look lost out on the court at times, he was vital to the T'Wolves. He brought a toughness and swagger to that team.

I hope the Knicks pick up Delonte West. No guns though. Bloomberg doesn't play that here.

[niko]

i'm pretty sure he knows the picture is real. :dancin

youre not on realgm. people dont use green fonts for sarcasm everywhere, you know.

[thejusman1]

hahahahahahahahahahahahah kahn.

[sak]

Kings are weak at the guard spot behind Evans and Beno. He would look nice on our team. to bad he will probably take less money and go to a contender. It could really help us as long as we dont have to over pay. CoMoN Sac. sign this guy.

And one of the kings owners was on the radio the other day and said they were waiting for teams to waive people to see if they can pick up a deal on a guard. dont see anything better out there right now.

[FireMcFailPlease]

Minny was stupid to let go of Hollins. I think he's got a bit of Tyson Chandler upside (only better) in him.

Minny will release BOTH Telfair and Wes
oh my god you are not serious are you?


id rather have hollins on the trade block than the low block.

[1~Gibson~1]

i agree with MK that Minny is stupid to give up Ryan Hollins. they couldve had a MASSIVE frontline with Pech, Love, Ryan and Darko, but whatev :confusedshrug:

idk about Ryan being the next Tyson Chandler tho :lol

[TheCalmInsanity]

Khaaaaaaaaaaan!

[1~Gibson~1]

if hollins had any skill, he wouldnt of been traded
or it couldve been the offense he was in. in Minny he was in the triangle offense. in our offense he'll be playing more uptempo and his athleticism could be used/showcased.

Minny also had a good amount of other bigs on their roster. Love-Beasley-Darko-Koufas-Pechorov

and fyi, being traded doesnt mean you dont have skill =P

[RedBlackAttack]

We needed a point that could implement Scott's up-tempo offense, so I like the move. It is also of note that Sessions played well in his backup role with Mo in Milwaukee a few years ago.

I was hoping that we could get Mike Conley. He was my first choice as the guy to come in and run Scott's offense. But, Sessions is certainly a good enough consolation prize, especially considering what we gave up to get him.

West already had one foot out the door and Telfair had no role on this team.

I applaud the move. Good start for Grant in his first real move as GM.

You totally didn't mention Hollins, that's the true consolation prize. A big-man center that can actually run, which we haven't had in...wait, I can't remember.

[twolvesfan]

You totally didn't mention Hollins, that's the true consolation prize. A big-man center that can actually run, which we haven't had in...wait, I can't remember.
You guys will be very pleased with Sessions, but do not get your hopes up for Hollins. I am trying not to come across as a hater but Hollins is incredibly annoying to watch him play. We played in a very up-tempo offense last year, which ideally, should of been geared towards Hollins strength. He is one of the dumbest/most clueless players i have ever seen on a basketball court. He gets lost on offense and can't remember defensive assignments to save his life or even rotate on defense very well. He has absolutely no post game and he will either try to pump fake the ball and shoot a jump shot or pass it right away. He also cannot rebound well at all, which is astounding for someone his size.

The upside to Hollins (if there is any) is that he is super athletic and will throw down highlight reel dunks with somewhat of a consistency. The only problem with this is that no matter how many points you are down by he will flail his arms and yell at the top of his lungs like his dunk brought the team back into the game.

To sum all this up, Hollins has never been even decent (even in college he wasn't any good) but teams will continue to give him chances thinking it will all suddenly click in his head due to his athleticism and dunking ability.

[TryToBeUnbias]

C'mon Kahn you know you want to take Sasha off of our hands.

Yeah right. Not touching that nutter.

lol...no, i dont expect anything like that. all im saying is, in a more uptempo offense his talents could possibly be showcased more.

How do you get more up tempo then we were last year without being GSW? We played at the 3rd fastest pace in the league last year

You guys will be very pleased with Sessions, but do not get your hopes up for Hollins. I am trying not to come across as a hater but Hollins is incredibly annoying to watch him play. We played in a very up-tempo offense last year, which ideally, should of been geared towards Hollins strength. He is one of the dumbest/most clueless players i have ever seen on a basketball court. He gets lost on offense and can't remember defensive assignments to save his life or even rotate on defense very well. He has absolutely no post game and he will either try to pump fake the ball and shoot a jump shot or pass it right away. He also cannot rebound well at all, which is astounding for someone his size.

The upside to Hollins (if there is any) is that he is super athletic and will throw down highlight reel dunks with somewhat of a consistency. The only problem with this is that no matter how many points you are down by he will flail his arms and yell at the top of his lungs like his dunk brought the team back into the game.

To sum all this up, Hollins has never been even decent (even in college he wasn't any good) but teams will continue to give him chances thinking it will all suddenly click in his head due to his athleticism and dunking ability.

The highlight dunks were great last year and it was funny as hell when they had him talk about his dunks during halftime because they had nothing else to talk about. They were trying to look at the bright side of all of the losing I guess.

"Hey, at least we have a guy who can dunk!"
