Sessions Close To A Deal With NY

The Knicks’ tango with Ramon Sessions could wrap up tomorrow, according to his agent. The Clippers, who waived guard Mike Taylor, are the other team involved, but the Knicks appear to be the frontrunners because they are able to offer Sessions a starting role. In a nutshell, Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni is lobbying to sign Sessions, 23, but team president Donnie Walsh is concerned a long-term deal starting at the mid-level exception of $5.8 million will compromise the Knicks’ 2010 salary cap space, even though free-agent forward David Lee could be headed for a one-year pact.
