     Lakers get Sessions (competent PG play) plus lose waste of space Walton in one swoop…= WINNING!

  • Betto

    Sweeet!!  Been on Beasley watch for over 24 hours, but this is great!  That means Beasley it’s on it’s way and Blake to Portland.  Finally Luke is gone, I think he will probably retire and come back to Cali since he got a restaurant over here..

    See, the Lakers can seal a deal and IMPROVE without having to give up any of their star players. Now go and shed some blood!!

    Correction! It’s not a 1st round pick, IT’S A 2012 2nd ROUND PICK. But they do get a right to swap picks with 2013 Miami 1st round pick for future 2nd round picks. LAL surrendered that right to the CAVs. LAL got it from Shaq deal.

  • rbj2

    So the Lakers got Ramon Sessions for a bag of chips!… Mitch is a genius.

  • S-Quire

    Eyenga is super athletic and has some game.  A little raw, but also a good little throw-in I think.  Hope Beasley gets done too.
