There are alot of guys out there who have the possibility of filling posey's role, Quinton Ross is a guy who I think could blossem here, childress is a talented player who would be a good get, I like james posey, but what does he do, he plays very hard, knocks down open 3's bothers slower wings with his length (he showed in the playoffs he no longer has the speed to stay with faster wings). Here is a reason why signing him to a 4th year may not be horrible, we really dont have that many tradeable contracts and having one thats not horrendous to move might help us land someone who could help the team more down the road. No one is going to offer possey the mid level for 5, I give him his choice of the +20% of his old contract for 4 years or the midlevel for 3. He is replaceable, and after another year or two he will be a burdon most likley.
