Believe it or not Detroit is not as a desirable destination as we think it is. Some idiots actually like playing in Sunny Cali and Flor, or the warm Texas climates??? Go Figure, why are we the only folk who appreciate Woodward Ave, F-150's, The best greek food outside of Greece (for crying out loud our best Pizza comes from a place called Papalis!!!!), coney dogs, Vernors, Faygo and Better Made potato chips. Screw them tropical pansties.

Yep I miss those Better Made potato chips and Faygo....we finally got Vernors out there though, but you'd have to pay me a lot to comeback too.

You're making me homesick talking about that food. My first return trip to Michigan since moving here comes at the end of this month. Real Coneys, Buddys Pizza, real Chinese food, Frankenmuth.

I wanna do it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ESPN: 'Baron Davis agrees to sign with the Clippers'. Detroit Pistons could benefit. - Detroit Pistons Full-Court Press - MLive.com

Purely Speculation, but would be nice if true . . .
If not BOS, i figured it owuld come down to those two (although you can't count out the Spurs)

I also read that we were targeting CJ Miles, Pietrus, and James Jones (another MLIVE article). Also i would say Quinton Ross deserves a look, but he's redundant w/ AA.

Can you all be logical for a minute. Posey OPTED OUT of like $3.5Mill, so he's going to want more than that. The full MLE will give him a 5 year $40 mill deal!!!! For a guy over 30 to play 15-20mpg.....gimme a break. Joe needs "A" Posey, not Posey. Simply put, when the C's and Heat picked Posey up nobody knew he would contibute as well as he did to the SYSTEM, he was an unexpected - pleasant surprise. We need to find a player who will be an unexpected pleasant surprise. Believe it or not, it's the scrubs you gamble on that make the difference. Joe needs a SCRUB!!!!! Not an overpriced/overhyped MLE BUST....can you say Naz-Mo!!!!

Can you say Antonio McDyess? How'd we get him? Maybe Chauncey Billups rings a bell. Nazr was a scramble signing to try to make up for losing Ben by getting the only big body out there.

Joe looking for a "diamond in the rough" on the cheap has gotten us Mo Evans, Flip Murray, Jarvis Hayes, etc. AKA a huge hole in the rotation behind Tayshaun.

Giving Posey the Full MLE for 4 years or so would completely solve our desperate backup SF need that has been ongoing since 2004. He is the perfect player for what we need. He plays his ass off on every possession. Has size to guard bigger SFs. Deadly 3-point shooter. Hits big shots. And has Rings with 2 different teams. On top of that, landing him would be a huge blow to the Celtics bench.

If I'm Joe I'm doing absolutely everything in my power to land him. Stuckey / Afflalo / Max / Amir is a great bench with three 6moy candidates.

Posey is a must sign if Joe D has a chance to get him. No matter if it takes full MLE. I want him more than Corey. We would have three very good players of the bench (right now, without trades) - Posey, Stuckey, Maxiell.

Posey is a lock down defender and i can see him playing 25-30 minutes a game (he can get some time as a power forward with Sheed and Dyess playing less minutes).

We need a second good perimeter defender (i'm not counting Afflalo here yet) who can stop first option of opposite teams.

Contract we would have to give him may be long but he is one of the players that give you championships.

Signing Posey gives us more options. He is a reliable 3 point shooter but he doesn't need to be involved in every possesion to be effective. Hayes wasn't reliable as a shooter (streaky, his shooting was off too often) and his defence can't even be compered to Posey's.

When i saw someone compering him to Delfino i couldn't believe what i was reading...

No split. First come, first served. Snooze you lose, etc.

The difference between Boston and Us winning the Title last year was that they signed Posey.

end of story.

Posey hits big 3's and absolutely torments Prince, LBJ, Kobe, Rip.

Plus he can handle himself on switches vs almost anyone.

And he brings a dirty toughness.

We have to sign either he or Magette. I'm tired of half assing it and running Prince into the ground.

How about if I %%%%% about it beforehand

And I complain when it doesn't happen? Fair enough?

Posey is this summers Olowokandi for forumites.

In two years everyone will look back on this summer and be glad Joe didnt sign him.
