The Team That Won't Be...

Sadly, there is a 99.9% chance that this team I am about to suggest won't actually become a team.  During this offseason for the NBA, there is a free agent that has 2 championship rings in the past 3 years; James Posey.  I'm not praising this man or anything, but he has great experience and leadership qualities, not to mention he is clutch with his 3s in Staples Center.  Since he is a free agent, I believe that the Wizards should not bother to re-sign Roger Mason Jr., and use their extra money plus some of the money Gilbert left behind and make a big attempt to sign this man.  People might say, but the Wizards need a big man.  That is 100% true and I completely agree with it, believing we should have taken Darrell Arthur or traded up to get Roy Hibbert, but both championship teams that Posey played for only had 1 solid big man; Heat with Shaq and Celtics with Garnett.  The Heat had Udonis Haslem at the 4 and the Celtics had Kendrick Perkins at the 5.  To me, those two are not solid big men.  The Wizards have Antawn Jamison at the 4.  Posey brings a great boost off the bench with energy, clutch performances, and great free throw shooting.  Think about this... Gilbert, Stevenson, Caron, Jamison, Haywood as the starting 5, with Posey coming in at the 2.  To me, that is a huge threat.  However, Posey is talking to the Lakers, the team he just beat in the NBA Finals, so this is very unlikely to happen.
