The Los Angeles Lakers have talked with the Cleveland Cavaliers about possibly acquiring guard Ramon Sessions, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

No deal is imminent, but the Lakers view Sessions as a candidate who could help their depleted backcourt.

The Lakers are without injured guard Steve Blake, and have relied heavily on rookies Andrew Goudelock and Darius Morris to play behind 37-year-old Derek Fisher.

The Lakers have an $8.9 million trade exception, acquired from the Dallas Mavericks for Lamar Odom, to absorb salary. Sessions makes $4.3 million this season, and has a player option for $4.6 million for the 2012-13 season.

Cleveland is interested in stockpiling draft picks in potential deals, sources said. Several teams have inquired about Sessions lately, front-office sources said. The Lakers have a handful of players on short-term deals who can’t be traded until March 1.

Sessions has been a career 45 percent shooter, but has struggled this season in limited minutes behind No. 1 overall pick Kyrie Irving. He’s shooting 34 percent and averaging 9.1 points.

After two seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks, Sessions signed a four year, $16 million contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves prior to the 2009-10 season. A year later, he was traded to the Cavaliers. He had his best season with Cleveland in 2010-11, averaging 13.3 points, 5.2 assists and 3.2 rebounds a game.

The Lakers also worked out veteran NBA guard Morris Peterson several days ago, sources said. As first reported by Hoopsworld.com, the Lakers have discussed the possibility of signing veteran guard Gilbert Arenas, sources said. He’s been working out in Florida, but no one in the Lakers organization has seen him lately to gauge the kind of shape he’s in. There’s significant resistance in some parts of the Lakers’ front office and locker room on signing Arenas, but there’s also a sense it won’t hurt to at least evaluate him.

I'm not understanding the move. All that means is Goudelock sits and gets no sort of time and he's been playing well. The problem is that I don't feel any coach will sit Fisher, he is a decorated warrior. Blake has outplayed Fisher. Unless the Lakers are trying to find a backup for Kobe and they feel Sessions is the guy then so be it.

I'm sick of the "Lakers showing interest" articles. High time for some "Lakers close the deal on ______" articles.

More mediocre talent but for $4.3 mil it's not really high risk.

I'd much rather have Calderon but Sessions is 25 yo and has lots of upside as a playmaker. His only knock that would make this a deal-breaker is that he's a horrible 3-pt shooter especially for a PG.

it would be a good pickup, he can run an offense and I think he is a good defender (if he's not pls correct me), but I just hope they don't use the tpe on him because that would mean we can't sign a china guy (JR, Brooks, or Chandler) and any of those guys is better than sessions.

Goudelock would move to the 2 spot if the Lakers acquire Sessions.

Unfortunately, he's not much of defender but the defensive system that Lakers run can compensate. He has shown to have the composure to run an offense but is yet to develop a mid-range and 3pt game that a PG needs to spread the floor especially for a Laker team that posts two bigs in the block.

i completely agree. he may be younger than calderon but hes not as good. sessions cant pass or shoot and you need to bea able to shoot to stay on the floor for us. thats a reason why morris has been ineffective he cant space the floor for our bigs and kobe.

the stats tell the truth we suck at 3pointers, we have no shot creaters, no real playmaker

sessions 22% from 3s?? wtf 5.7 assists kobe has that... create what shot he cant freaking shoot

jose 45% 35% 3s 9 assists playmaker he can create his own shot and drive in thats exactly what we need and he already has a connection with gasol and he can play D..... lakers are making a mistake if they do this stupid trade

^^^^^ chill bro @adamloko323 with the fool comment......anyways, you made my point exactly, I wouldn't use part of the TPE on Ramon Session by himself. I rather try for Aaron Brooks

Bynum for those pieces you suggested have me ROFFL behave

Are you seriously suggesting to trade Bynum for Varejao, Sessions, and Caspi? This is one of the most ridiculous trade ideas I've heard in awhile.

LOL...At least trading Kobe would bring us under the cap to sign a DWill. Come on LTB newbies, get your 'trade ideas' game up.

I think you can star ramon. Then when blake is healthy, fisher can play more off the ball and help the second team.

ramon
kobe
mwp
gasol
bynum

fish/goudelock
blake/goudelock
barnes
mcroberts
murphy

I actually like bynum leaving early in the first for mcroberts, so he can come back in earlier and play with the second team. The way phil used to do it. But then again we had odom in those days.

Sessions is a very good passer and a decent shooter. With a little more experience, Morris and Goudeock though are better than he is so it's a parallel move and I say no. The Lakers need help now I realize which is why Arenas makes sense but we cannot have 5 PG's on the same team as well Goudy is already number ZERO! This is a tippytoe solution when the Lakers need a big bang. Uncertainty breeds uncertainty!

Arenas or Sessions or.....
Fisher
Blake
Morris
Goudelock

Goudy can slide over to the 2 but either way you look at it, one of these guys has to go if a new PG comes in.

^^ Then you upgraded your point guard rotation and can bump Blake to 2 to backup Kobe. Problem solved

^^ Then you upgraded your point guard rotation and can bump Blake to 2 to backup Kobe. Problem solved


I'm not too fond of Blake playing back-up SG behind Kobe; he's just to undersized. I'd rather see GLock getting those minutes. If we pick up another PG whether it be Calderon or Sessions, we've gotta send Morris to the D-League where he belongs and use Blake selectively with a quicker line-up.

Forgot about Glock, thanks for correcting me here. Pair Glock with Blake to jumpstart the second unit, this my friend changes our stagnant 2nd unit from a flat team to a much better one.

Yeah. Pair GLock and Blake at the guards, have Artest on the block to punish the opponent's guards when they decide to switch to him, have Kapono run to the corners to spread the floor and have Bynum rim-run every possesion to take advantage of the one-on-one he'll have early in the shot clock.

Bynum for those pieces you suggested have me ROFFL behave


And how would the Lakers get Brooks? We definitely couldn't get him for the league minimum and you can't use player exceptions to sign a player.

Very reminiscent of the bench that helped us go back to back. What we really lack from that bench, is more size and athleticism, and 3pt scoring, but with Blake in the rotation hoarding minutes from having a Calderon-type starting PG guys like Kapono, Barnes, Metta, and even Troy should improve.

after the D12 and D-Will clears up, Lakers situation will be less cloudy. The TPE is available as well as picks. Aaron Brooks is not in the Suns plans. He doesn't get a long with the coach....Gentry. Btw, Lakers seem like the only team for the last several years NOT to address the PG position.

A package built around TPE, that's what I meant.

Don't get me wrong, I like Sessions game and he's definitely an upgrade over Blake/Fisher/Morris

But he's not the answer to our point gaurd issue...We need a guy like D-Will, B-Jennings, Aaron Brooks.
Also, I'd like to see us get a guy like Nick Young/Oj Mayo to back up Kobe and cut down on his minutes.

Ha k, I though you just meant only the TPE. If we gave them Character or Morris could work

Yeah, exactly a guy like OJ Mayo to shave down Kobe's minutes. Mike Brown has been doing a bad job of managing these minutes, and that's partly because there is no point guard to get an offense clicking, having to rely on Kobe and the other big 2 to come through.
