I think of it like this... How much do you need to pay the guy who fills the most glaring hole on the team? Someone to back up the three and bring toughness and a spark off the bench? Make Billups healthy and switch Jarvis and Posey in the ECF and there's no banner in Beantown. Posey is getting old, and will probably be washed up before a long term deal is done, and maybe we've just seen his best years.
You could argue again though that the Pistons are a year late. Fire Flip last year and things would have been different, bring in Posey last year and things would have been different.
Regardless, five or six mil seems a small price to pay
if you get what Posey brought to the Celtics and to the Heat.
