The Official "I really care about James Posey" Thread

[P-O-Z]

The Spurs need James Posey on that wall. San Antonio is still smart and tough and willing, but the Spurs need someone who can move if they're going to have any chance at beating Dallas and Phoenix in the playoffs. They need someone who can step out and guard Dirk Nowitzki or Shawn Marion. Posey is precisely that kind of all-around guy.

A Brent Barry-Beno Udrih offer would give Miami both three-point firepower and guard depth to bolster the injured Jason Williams and the fading Gary Payton.

You'd rather keep Barry and Beno than get James Posey on a rental?

hell naw but i would like to trade walker

Well, the Heat would probably never do it anyway. Beno is the exact opposite of a Riley-type player.

Since when has anyone had to step out and actually guard Shawn Marion? Creating his own offense is not his game. And Posey couldn't do a damn thing against Dirk.

[Solid D]

Posey wasn't really the best guy who stepped out to guard Dirk Nowitzki. Although James did defend Dirk, Udonis did the best, and most consistent job of defending Dirk...particularly in the last 4 wins of the Finals.

Beno is better than no pg at all..I am still not comfertable with jaque running back up point!!Look, we are going to have to win 1 maybe 2 series before even playing Dallas so forget any Dork stoppers (which is stupid reason for trading for player)

[johnpaulwall21]

what da fuck? posey? i havent heard shit from that dude, i wouldnt make this deal. he struggled in his first year as a heat so hell naw.......

[MJ23DWADE3]

give us barry for walker

[johnpaulwall21]

walkers shit, he would not fit with our team, everytime i see the guys hes tryin to drive it in with defenders all around him, he doesnt pass for shit he just wants his.

[exstatic]

I don't think Pop would give you enema waste for Walker.

[RC's Boss]

I'd take posey

That is exactly what I was thinking. All you have to do is keep Marion off the offensive boards and not let him have wide open 3 pt shots and you don't have to worry about him that much. He disappeared in the Mav/Suns playoff series last year cuz the Mavs did both those things. Marion excels in wide open type games (like the Suns play in the regular season) but struggles somewhat in tight playoff games where it's mostly a halfcourt offensive game.

And that quote of his to the effect that the reason he takes so many 3 point shots is because there isn't a 4 point shot

I know it's not a sure thing, or even a probable thing, but we discuss at length about trades which would never happen. So why not one that might happen, and has been reported by credible sports sites?


I know it's in the 'reasonable trades' thread but still. Normally with something like this you scroll down the forums and you have more than a few different opinions / threads on the idea of the player coming here.

[IceColdBrewski]

Our best asset to get Posey would have been Williams.

What about the Barry / Beno talk?

[midgetonadonkey]

Nobody wants Beno/Barry.

[Big P]

Posey is a shell of his former self...Barry will be more valuable to us in the playoffs than Posey would be.

I get that some people don't want him, and some do.

My question is simply...why isn't there more discussion about it? (Like threads on the first page wise).

[AFBlue]

Because Posey plays for the defending champion Miami Heat, who are just starting to get healthy and gear up for the playoffs, and the Spurs are the Champions once-removed with a solid core of players and an equally good, if not better, chance of getting that trophy once again. It's not impossible that a deal between these two gets done, but it's just not very likely. That's why it's not tops on the list of threads...

[ChumpDumper]

How many threads do you want about it?

Makes sense.

More than one?

[ChumpDumper]

Why?

[Please_dont_ban_me]

Why?

It's not so much the number of threads. It's more about the lack of interest in it. It seems like Spurs fans are indifferent to it.

[ChumpDumper]

Should they be really excited about it?

Either be really excited, or really opposed to it. Not indifferent.

[ChumpDumper]

Why is indifference not allowed by you as an option?

1 of those having already fell off the first page of the forums. The other not exactly lighting the place up.

He's a player who deserves more of a reaction. It's not like we're talking about Mengke Bateer, or even Melvin Ely. This is a guy who will either really help or hurt this team.

I think Spurs fans should care more about whether or not he comes.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

I think it would.

You're giving up the best 3-point shooter off your bench. You're giving up your 3rd string point guard (making you rely on your only option at back-up point.) This could really hurt the Spurs.

You're adding a guy who can potentially step in for Bowen, while bringing in more to the offensive end. He has questions about whether he can still do what he once did.





You don't think this could either help us get over the top, or set us back?

[ChumpDumper]

I think he brings much less offensively to the table than you might think. He doesn't seem like the kind of acquisition that will put us over the top if he plays the way he has all season.

[Big P]

I get that some people don't want him, and some do.

Because he's not really a difference maker.

[FromWayDowntown]

I'm indifferent.

[Udrihlooms]

I care about Posey just as Britney cares about her panties.

He's not our messiah.

Zero. Zilch. Nada!

[midgetonadonkey]

Udrihlooms is the worst troll ever.

[mavsfan1000]

Wow why would the Heat give up on Posey? He is a big reason why the Heat won it last year with his hustle off the bench. A great 6th man.
