Ramon Sessions, Guard, Cleveland Cavilers
How he could help the Lakers: Sessions has two things that the current Laker rotation lacks, quickness and youth. The Cleveland point guard makes his living getting by defenders by using speed and finishing around the basket. He can get to the line where he shoots a very respectable 78 percent for his career. He automatically upgrades the Lakers’ defense in the perimeter as he has both the quick feet to guard troublesome small and quick points like Tony Parker and is still big enough at 6’3 to guard the bigger points such as Deron Williams.
Or
Daniel Gibson, Guard, Cleveland Cavilers
How he could help the Lakers: Daniel, or as he is known by some, Boobie, Gibson could potentially provide the Lakers with a pure shooter that could flourish in the triangle in the same way as a Steve Kerr or John Paxson did back in the Bull championship runs of the 90s. His long range prowess has earned him the honor of being named to his 2nd three point shootout this coming All-Star weekend. Gibson is incredibly aggressive from the outside as he has already put up over 180 3-point attempts, which is 30 more than Shannon Brown who leads the Lakers’ in 3-point attempts. He is shooting an amazingly efficient 44 percent from behind the arc this year after a career high of 47 percent last year in Cleveland.
Why the Cavs would trade him for nothing? I think its safe to say that after 25 losses in a row the Cavs have hit rock bottom. I don’t mean the bottom of the NBA standings but the lower bowels of the earth. Pretty much anybody on the Cavs roster should be up for grabs for anything that either provides draft picks or saves the Cavaliers money. I can’t find one player on their roster that is both young and talented enough to bother building around for the future.
