With losing 4 out of our last 6, this question was bound to come up.
While Posey was HUGE for us last year, especially down the stretch, and I'll always be a big fan no matter where he is, we're making James Posey out to be the pure one and only difference maker on this team last year.
No disrespect to Posey whatsoever, but here's how I see it...if New Orleans goes on to win the title this year, THEN we can say we made a mistake by not resigning him and he really was that important to us. If the Hornets however do not win the title, then it shows that Posey, while important, wasn't a make or break point of this team.
