I like Anderson a lot as a big, we should try to sign him -- he's undervalued right now. Two years ago he was one of the best big man reserves in the league.
At the point, I like Ty Lue. He plays solid defense, he can shoot like crazy, and he's friends with Doc and KG. Good ballhandler. He's a little small, but he's solid. Much better as a point guard (and even as a shooter he's not worse) than Eddie House.
If we picked up Anderson and Lue by splitting the MLE, that would be a great haul. And we'd probably still have money left over. Lue we might be able to get with the biannual, I'm guessing.
One thing, though. If we don't resign Posey -- and it looks like we won't -- we definitely need someone who can come in and play defense against big 3s and perimeter-minded 4s. We don't have anyone like that right now we can use off the bench. Giddens and Walker are both a little small for that job. So who's left? How about Najera? Or James Jones? Somebody like that.
I can see where the Cs are coming from in hesitating to give Posey all that money. He's way overvalued right now because of his playoff performance. A multiyear commitment at 5.8 million is way too much for a guy who only scores 7 points a game, is one-dimensional offensively, and is already 31 years old. The same way it'll be a mistake when Dallas forks over the whole MLE to Diop because they were exposed in the middle against Duncan in the playoffs, it would be a mistake for us to overpay Posey because he had a good finals. He was a very valuable player, but the full MLE is too much.
