Let’s take a look at some of the players that will have a serious chance at improving in the second half of the season. This is going to be a list compiled of players that have been underachieving, injured or will be starting or seeing more minutes in the second half. i’m not going to talk about players that had great first halves and will continue to do so because we already know that Kobe and LeBron are studs and they will continue to be studs.
Ramon Sessions- If you haven’t noticed by now, I am a huge Ramon Sessions fan. With Luke Rinour out for a few more weeks with a broken thumb, Sessions is in prime position to steal the starting PG role away from Ridnour. Even if Ridnour returns as the starting PG, Sessions will have a spot at SG waiting for him and Charlie Bell will go back to the bench. Sessions has not disappointed so far and it doesn’t look like he will anytime soon either. As a starter he is averaging 18.3 ppg, 4 rpg, 7.8 apg and 1.9 spg. He is a fantasy savior in the making. Everyone thought that he would be doing this from the start of the season but Ridnour showed that he could still play and Sessions didn’t really impress anyone. Not the case anymore. Sessions is a solid option in any format as a PG or as a SG but he does seem to play better as the floor general. Read the rest of this entry

There is a rumor floating around that Jermaine O’Neal of the Toronto raptors could be used as possible trade bait for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks. I’d be surprised if the Heat went for this. O’Neal is a very good player when he is on the court but how often is that? The guy can’t stay healthy. The Raptors would love to get Marion because it would give them a shot in the arm that they desperately need and give them huge cap relief at the end of the season. But, why would the Heat go for this? They could get a much better package of players and draft picks from a contending team or a team that is seriously looking to dump salary to get ready for the Lebron free agency sweepstakes. This trade just doesn’t make much sense to me.
