Posey's "clutchness" is certainly a factor...but he had the oportunity to be in those situations and prove himself...I think we have some talented, tough-minded players that can also be clutch....as far as team chemistry goes, their are a ton of locker room guys on the team...

Mickael Gelabale(sp) ? ? ? He's pretty athletic, hustles, can hit a corner three. . .

I do like George though. . . . I'd be content with either. .

MAybe even Ruben Patterson. . Prides himself on D. . .Plays explosively with energy. . .Would probably come DIRT CHEAP.

i think trevor ariza is a poor man's posey. he can hit the 3 and is a long 3 man.

I think Posey was solid, but we 100% made the right decision not resigning him. We're going to see guys like Tony Allen and even Leon Powe get a lot of those minutes. I think we'll be fine.

Linton Johnson can replace Posey on the defensive end, and wouldn't be a liability from long range. And I've liked what DMiles brings to the table for a little while, if DA trusts his health, I like him as an option. Neither of these guys have enough market value or league-wide respect to demand regular minutes either.
