What about James Posey?
As New Orleans is in financial trouble, can we steal James Posey with Stack & 2M? He's a dependable defender and shooter which fits in nicely in the starting spot.

James Posey is a tough sumbitch who would be a welcome addition to our roster. Kinda like a turbocharged Devean George.

Posted it in the NBA Thread:
I'd love to have him, I just think the contract might run a little too long for their liking. He's a player that would make you consider it though. He's an awesome role player and he'll bring some toughness as well. He works out straight up for Stack.

I think it's ok to have some contracts that are long right? I mean almost everyone's off the books by the end of 2010. Are we going to assemble this entirely new team that's going to be a contender? Highly unlikely.

Ugh, all he does is camp in the corner and shoot threes.
And it is somewhat effective in New Orleans because CP3 is so good at getting into the lane. Who is good at getting to the lane for the Mavs? His toughness and intangibles are nice, but I'm looking for more than intangibles. |

I might have it as 60/40 that they'd be interested, 70/30 tops. That's below my liking, I would have it higher. I'm just making an assumption about our FO. Quote:

I would love him or Stephen Jackson. Straight up thugs on and off the court. We used to have that in Josh Howard but now he's just a thug off the court.

Oops yeah, they can keep Kaman. Or they can have Damp.

Davis/Kaman/Posey for Kidd/Stack sounds better to me than Davis/Kaman/Shaq/Posey for Kidd/Howard/Stack. Kaman/Dirk/Howard/Wright/Davis as the starting-lineup with JET, Posey, and Bass coming of the bench would be quite nice. On top of that, we would still have Damp's expiring $12 million contract next February. And imagine Dirk decided to opt out of his contract and sign for considerably less money in 2010, we could go for another nice piece. If things fall into place, the future could be bright for the Mavs. |

Josh/Bass does not = Shaq. That scenario included Stack to make the money work.
If you did the Josh/Bass in this scenario, then you would have to include Damp. Josh/Damp/Bass for Shaq. Then you would have Baron, JJB Wright, Terry, Carroll Posey, George Dirk, Singleton Shaq, Kaman, Hollins If Kaman is an option, then I don't think you do Shaq, IMO. I don't think Kidd is an option though. --------------------------------------------------------------- Kidd and Baron would be fun though. Josh, Stack, Bass for Baron/Camby would be a fun attempt. Kidd, Baron, Terry, JJB --- Wright, George, Green, Singleton, Carroll --- Dirk, Camby, Damp, Hollins. I am not sure you would have enough D, but that would be fun to watch. Smallball with Kidd, Baron, and Terry on the court, with Dirk, and Camby.

In general, my philosophy on any trade that might be made between Dallas and NO is that unless it represented a significant talent-win for the Mavs, it wouldn't be worth doing. And when I say significant talent win, I'm talking stuff like Carroll for Posey and Damp/Stack/filler for Peja/Chandler.

Better health, better age, better defender, better clutch player, rebounder, etc. I think scoring might be the only thing Stack might still have Posey on.

It's not the on-court production that would be at issue in a Stack/Posey swap. Unless Jerry's found a fountain of youth over the past few months (quite hoping that he has at the moment, actually) he's past being a useful contributor, and while I'm not too enamored with Posey, he'd probably at least help some. I don't think he's worth the contract, though, and for that reason and that reason alone I would say no to swapping the two of them.

Yeah...that's the ONLY problem I see with Posey, the contract. The price isn't bad, slightly above the MLE, but for 4 years? That makes it a problem.
He's on the short list that would be worth it though.
