Philly is going to be tough next season
They need someone that can knock down outside shots now at G-F.
They should go after Posey. He can provide more defense on the perimeter and knock down 3s.
Excellent suggestion regarding Posey, who is an unrestricted free agent. Philly would instantly get a battle tested vet thats not afraid to take the big shot. He also defends exceptionally well, puts his body on the line for charges, and puts the team first. He's the new generation Robert Horry, he was clearly the best role player of 2008.
Yo!! I was thinking the same exact thing with the whole Robert Horry aspect. Posey has hit some clutch shots, and he guards multiple positions. He won a championship with the Heat and he has won a championship with the Celtics. He could play that Horry role hopping from contender to contender win chips.
Rasheed could win a couple more championship as well if he took less money and filled that role for some contenders. As could Prince but it might be to early in his career at this point.
Definitely too early for Tayshaun. He's more of a shoe in starter if you ask me. He's the best SF on any team besides the obvious Lebron James and a few other guys. He's arguably Detroit's best player at this point because unlike guys like Chauncey, Rip, and Rasheed's careers seem to be waning, Prince's value is steadily increasing. He runs the floor like a deer, defends, is aggressive going to the goal and has also won a championship.
As for Rasheed, I look at him as a legitimate starter, but I pictured him being a "Posey" and it could work. Too bad his ridiculous ego would never allow that.
