they also signed anthony parker. my big concern is that we're signing guys who are over the Hill ( no pun intended) while lakers and cavs are signing guys in their prime. last year we didn't sign posey cause we were worried about how old he would be in the 4th year of his deal. this year we sign 35 year old rasheed to a 3 year deal and are talking about signing 37 year old grant hill. HUH??? we could have kept posey and we wouldn't need grant hill

Not sure where you are getting your information but we signed Sheed to a 2 year deal. Also, the Cavs just traded for a 37 year old Shaq.

Well I guess my information was bad. You were right Red2, it's 3 years. Sorry for jumping on you like that.

if we kept posey it's possible the owners wouldn't have wanted to spend the dough for sheed. wyc is not mark cuban. you never want bad contracts on your roster, period. posey is a bad contract at that price; i'm sure the hornets would like to dump him.

grant hill at the LLE is a good contract. sheed at 3 years is a decent contract, though he will probably be overpaid in the last year, but then he will be a movable expiring deal.
