Well, this certainly came off as a huge shock. Not only did Sessions sign with a team where he’ll be a back up, but to a team who just drafted two point guards in the top 10 of this summers NBA draft.
Sessions signed for 4 years and will make roughly 4 mil each year during that span. Walsh was looking for 3.5 a year, correct? Well, I can’t say I’m surprised Walsh just messed up once again. This is just another instance where Walsh exposes how he really operates, poorly.
Not only does this decision not make sense for Sessions, but this doesn’t make sense for the Wolves and the Knicks either. Sessions signing for 4 million a year is a huge steal and the Knicks will highly regret not picking up the tab and nabbing the young stud.
Sessions will likely floorish in Minnesota with Jefferson and company getting better with age. This team is going to be fun to watch next season, unlike the Knicks who are now resorting to Nate Robinson and David Lee to 1 year deals worth roughly 6 and 8 million.
Perhaps though this means Rubio’s rights could be traded to New York? Three quality PG’s on the same team is just ludicrous and I doubt the Wolves keep Rubio’s rights.
So, I’ll forgive Walsh on this Sessions blunder if he can somehow get Rubio’s rights even if it means he can’t come for another 2 years.

Gotcha
