james posey amnesty by Pacers

[LooseCannon]

Sasha Pavlovic 11.8, James Posey 11.5.  That's their career average for points per 36 minutes. 

Posey at his peak was much better than Pavlovic, but Posey is an old man and Pavlovic is not, and what matters is how they play next season, not what they've done in the past.

Posey is more likely to have his performance fall of a cliff due to age.  Pavlovic is good enough that he could fit into the rule of veteran who can be signed to a string of minimum contracts to provide depth (no better than third string) and continuity for the team in the future.  If you overvalue "veteran-ness", then you might as well wish for the Lakers to amnesty Luke Walton so Ainge can sign him.  Walton has two rings, too.

posey is not the same player he was here

i aint mad at him for goin for the cash but he fell off...

[Celtics4ever]

No, even I agree he isn't the same player.  But I am less than thrilled with Sasha's signing.  I would have rather tried for Anthony Parker than him.

Parker was never going to be a minimum salary guy and he has a chance to be a starter.

I keep hearing he isn't the same player, which has nothing to do with playing in Doc's system. Ainge is forgetting Robert Horry last won his ring at age 37. Stat comparisons with Sasha Pavlovic mean nothing unless you wanna show what both have done in the post season.

[Ganguido]

He s done!

[gar]

He s done!

Put a fork in it.

Sasha Pavlovic will win the 13th man of the year award.  Mark it down.  Posey won't finish in the top twenty for that honor.
