I have seen you post Posey deals that make more sense for NO - there will be a long line of teams looking to get Posey if NO is selling him.

I think they are more likely to unload Mopete - if we could get him back I would prefer his 3s from the corners over banks sitting in the corner.

Dont get me wrong, would love Posey on this squad, just dont think the deal is fair to NO

Hmm... If Rasho doesn't sign with us do u think maybe the Raps would consider trading Ukic to Memphis for Haddadi? Or perhaps trade POB for him? Either way Memphis would save money and an extra year on Haddadi's contract, and it would help clear the logjam in their frontcourt, with him not getting minutes behind Gasol and now Thabeet. Haddadi would be able to get some more playing time as a backup 5 for the Raps, being able to focus more on being a solid defensive presence in the lane. He played well in the Olympics in Beijing (I think averaging a double-double) and I really don't think having him would make us any worse off than we are with POB, I definitely see more upside with Haddadi.
