Would you rather have made this trade earlier and signed Posey or do you like the signing of Jim Jackson? How much is Jim Jackson's contract? I am satisfied with Jackson...but why give up all these valuable draft picks?!?
1.5 million for one year and we get a clutch veteran who shoots well, plays hard-nosed defense and is strong around the basket and is a career 15 ppg scorer vs 22 million over 4 years for a strong defender with no reliable offense. We won big here. As to giving up the first round draft pick- why do we need a mid-round first pick? We don't need to get any younger.
player thats a crafty hard nosed defender. can hit the outside shots. has more methods of scorring than being at the end of an allley-oop.
Our bench is looking awesome this year. I don't really understand why people are saying that we need to trade Cuttino because we don't at all. Jimmy J and Adrian Griffin can slide back and forth between the 2 and the 3. While Pike can just back up Mobley and a few minutes at point as well. I just hope that Griffin finally plays as well as he should and that Norris's game pops back on track. I think its good to have Meech just in case one of our centers goes down. We are solid at pretty much every position.. PG-Wink/Mooch SG-Cat/Pike SF-Jimmy J/A. Griff PF-Taylor/EG C-Yao/Cato/Meech
Technically with the money that would have spent on Posey, we picked up Jackson, Griffin, and Pike. In which case, I would take those three over Posey.
Jim Jackson is a much better player than Posey right now. And this team needs veteran leadership on the floor. Plus Jackson always has chip on his shoulder when playing against Dallas and you know Amaechi is going to want a shot at Utah. God i'm glad I got the basketball package this year.
The poll is kinda deceptive. If it's just asking what player I'd rather have in terms of talent at an equal price, obviously Posey. I'm looking at the question in terms of how it affects the rest of the lineup though. We have players instead of one by not choosing to resign Posey and at a cheaper price. The Rockets played this one right instead of being forced to pay too much for a guy. I'll take Jackson.
jj most definitely! posey is just a one dimensional playere whereas jj is an all around guy.. and plus, coz of his contract, it sealed the comparison for me. jj any time than jposey.
Rockets made a wise decision not to sigh Posey for the hefty contract. His contract could just end up as bad as Cato/Taylor/Moochie's contracts. We already has Yao and Francis as star. Rest we just need cheap/veteran role players.
