Hersh Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 He's in the land of dysfunction and only getting 17 minutes a game. Hard to know what his numbers mean. Maybe, but 35% from the field and only 20% from 3pt range really sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonArtest15 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Maybe, but 35% from the field and only 20% from 3pt range really sucks. Takes a lot of shots near the rim though...so if there is a silver lining, it's that he actually takes the ball to the hoop. I think he'll be a slight upgrade over Dre.

Hersh Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 If they get Jarrett Jack, what was the point of trading for Sessions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonArtest15 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 If they get Jarrett Jack, what was the point of trading for Sessions? 3rd guard so we don't have to see Garrett Temple run the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin'emAlive Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The point was getting a 2+ mil trade exception for Miller. I guess im torn. I liked Miller's game and i blame the offensive struggles on Wittman. We have had a ton of lost games resulting from terrible out-of-timeout playcalls and poor substitutions. He may have not been able to stay in front of the quicker guards, but he ran the offense better than anyone else not named Wall. Then again, i have always liked Jack's game and wish we picked him up before Cleveland did. Well him or Mo Williams. We ended up with Maynor... So if we end up with Jack, i guess im ok with it all. Of course, im only ok with this as long as Otto doesnt get banished from the land and we dont end up shipping out our 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Apparently only 500K of Jarrett Jack's 2016/2017 season is guaranteed. So basically we could cut him that summer to clear almost all of that 6.3 million dollars off our cap. There's no reason for us to NOT make this deal. Now it's just a matter of waiting on OKC and Brooklyn and Minnesota to come to terms. This would be a really key pick up that could breathe new life into the team and help us close out the season strong and avoid Cleveland in the first round. Only thing though, they better not deal Porter just to bring in two seasons of Jarrett Jack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 WTF? Now I'm reading that KG wants to team back up with Pierce? So what, KG comes here and Jack goes to OKC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK apparently this was fake and KG is traded to Minnesota for Thaddeus Young. That's a great deal for Brooklyn. KG to us would have made no sense. Hopefully we're still in the running for Jack.

GOSKINS_08 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Jeez all these trades and we made none. Very bad deadline for us. I know we got Sessions but I'm talking about better players being traded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hersh Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Now that the deadline has passed, what deals do you wish the Wizards made (and what would we have had to give up in return)?

BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) NetsDaily.com @NetsDaily #Nets feel they were screwed by OKC's late deal, left them without time to do other trades. Chris Mannix ✔ @ChrisMannixSI Washington's pursuit of Jarrett Jack effectively ended when the Nets/Thunder talks broke off. No deals in DC. Basically OKC got cold feet at the last minute and screwed us. They were scared of going over the luxury tax.

Warhead36 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Damn I would have loved to add Jack. Guess we'll just have to settle on Sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatteredFanSyndrome Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I think OKC's apparent fear of the luxury tax is what will sweep KD another way come 2016. Hopefully this little screw over by them will pay dividends come that time. Glad to see Miller hit the road, but unsure what if any value Sessions brings to the table. Definitely nothing to up excitement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fancy-stats/wp/2015/02/19/how-ramon-sessions-is-an-upgrade-and-a-downgrade-over-andre-miller-for-the-wizards/ However, Sessions will upgrade the Wizards in a few areas, starting with his getting to the free throw line, something Washington has struggled with this season: they rank 20th in free throws as a percentage of all field goals attempted (0.265). Sessions now ranks second on the team behind Martell Webster in that metric. Sessions will also be a better defender when the opposition tries a catch-and-shoot or catch-and-drive play, which correlates strongest in predicting defensive efficiency. When he is the defender, opponents score 34.9 percent of the time. That is on par with Wall (32.3 percent) and an improvement over Miller (41.5 percent). And finally, Sessions is not afraid to get to the rim, something that the Wizards have struggled with this season.

Destino Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 So lots of teams got better while DC, which is already looking a bit like a fraud, got Ramon Sessions. Not a good showing for Ernie, who hangs his hat on trades (because his draft record his horrible). I was really thinking the wizards would be a second half team but I'm not as confident about that now. Wittman is being as ass and Beal has stumbled. Look for Miami to jump in the standings, they got a great deal better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 **** OKC. I hope their piddling around with the luxury tax loses them both Durant and Westbrook. Seriously. Jack would have been a great fit here because we badly need scoring and guard play off the bench. Shame indeed. I hope Wittman doesn't screw up Sessions like he did every back up point guard we've had not named Miller by trying to force him to beat his man on an island and looking confused when it doesn't work.

Skin'emAlive Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Id like to make this clear: Sessions does not increase our ability to get in the paint. Heres why: Andre's entire offensive game was within the paint. The reason why it didnt work is because Seraphin's entire offensive game is within the paint and Humphrie isnt that far behind. There was no room for two post up players. ( it worked last year because we had Beal/Webster+Harrington+Gooden sitting on the perimeter waiting for the kickout). If anything this is a lateral move. Its our starting unit that needs to get to the line more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mocountyskins Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Sessions while not an amazing pick up is being undersold because, Defense is not being talked about. Yes Sessions is having an abysmal year. Hopefully its just because he does not like playing for the Kings. JR Smith has played so much better after getting off the Knicks he is a quality player again. hopefully Sessions just hated being on a crappy team? It is possible. But Sessions can and will play Defense. Miller was a glaring weak spot that had to be accounted for. I disagree that this was a lateral move. A lateral move is no improvement at all. Do you honestly think that Miller is just as good as Sessions? If Sessions averages like 1 more point or 1 more assist or 1 more rebound or whatever than Miller than thats already an upgrade Its a small upgrade and its not enough to get us past the 2nd round because we are not good enough imo to beat ATL, Cle or TOR in 7. But it increases are chances of getting out of the 1st round (something that I started to worry about these last few weeks) Edited February 19, 2015 by Mocountyskins 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin'emAlive Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Sure he has better defense. But can he run the offense? Honestly, we had two players on this team with offensive handles. Now we have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Would love it if Session could hold things down long enough for Wall to get a few extra minutes of rest here and there. Its an upgrade, if only because Dre Miller was no longer NBA quality. Sessions while not an amazing pick up is being undersold because, Defense is not being talked about. Yes Sessions is having an abysmal year. Hopefully its just because he does not like playing for the Kings. JR Smith has played so much better after getting off the Knicks he is a quality player again. hopefully Sessions just hated being on a crappy team? It is possible. But Sessions can and will play Defense. Miller was a glaring weak spot that had to be accounted for. Sessions being better than Miller on defense does not make Sessions a good defensive player. The numbers say he's a liability on that end of the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
