I do wonder if it’s too soon for such flipping, since Minnesota can’t even try to convince Ricky Rubio to come to the States before the 2011-12 season because of Rubio’s new contract with perennial Spanish club power Barcelona. It’s also unclear what sort of market Sessions could generate after a slow start with the Wolves and when he’s just one season into a four-year, $16.4 million deal.
Yet I’ve also heard a couple of GMs say they do expect Sessions to be made available and that his contract is not so prohibitive. We’ll see.
“You’re not joking, are you?” Sloan asked. “He’s a terrific player. He knows how to play basketball. He passes the ball, he sets screens, he does whatever it takes to try to play the game. It’s not that difficult, but we make it difficult because we think we have to do something sensational. He just plays and never gets off the floor. Those guys play for years and years in this league.”
