Nets blockbuster hanging on Posey?

The lure of Jason Kidd is a strong reason the Nets could land one of the more attractive remaining free agents, small forward James Posey. Posey would be strong insurance for the Nets if they consider revisiting trade talks for Indiana's Jermaine O'Neal, which revolved around Richard Jefferson.

Boston needs him more...........

August 25, 2007  09:20 AM ET

The Knicks need him more ... they could always use another highly paid piece that won't fit their puzzle!

August 25, 2007  09:28 AM ET

Im sorry but Posey is the most overrated piece of crap. All he does is flop and not live up to his potential

August 25, 2007  10:04 AM ET

He is a quality defender and can hit the trey......He is a role player and a good 1 at that.....

August 25, 2007  10:06 AM ET

what do the heat get for the so called blockbuster ?

August 25, 2007  10:06 AM ET

August 25, 2007  10:47 AM ET

Ruben Patterson to Boston!!!!

August 25, 2007  11:22 AM ET

he is well the best small forward tht the heat had

August 25, 2007  12:01 PM ET

CHitown5434 stated it best and simply: What does Miami get? The Heat is not run by Kevin McHale, therefore they wont get AssRaped in a trade. The article fails to offer any logical choice, except to imply the Heat will let Posey go for cap purposes. Hell, any of us can make up a Blockbuster trade without any rational information to back it up. Clemons for Garnett in a 7 team Blockbuster, including the Rams and Cal Bears.
Give us some INFO.

DJROXALOT- james posey is not nearly as good as he is credited. he is an above average defender at best, and his three point shot is as inconsistent as 'tione's. he gets injured often and he is gettin old. the fact that u think he is any good is just another reason why i think your opinions are worthless

August 25, 2007  12:37 PM ET

Let's see last year 37.5 from down town and in 05-06, 40.3....Yep that's inconsistent alright.....Walker made 27.5 last year and 35.8 in 05-06.....Yep, he's old......Just turned 30......LOL.....Dont flatter yourself Mr Red Neck.....Your opinion means squat to me......

August 25, 2007  12:38 PM ET

N u lost your only TD by forfeit cuz u cldnt complete your argument to ScreaminDeamon??? LMAO

How come every time there's a rumor on here, half of the people write in to hate rather than comment? Posey is not overrated, because he's considered a roleplayer who puts in a lot of energy on the defensive end. In the last couple years he's also been among the league leaders in three point percentage. I don't recall the topic being "Posey set to dethrone Michael Jordan as best baller in history." THEN he would be overrated. I wanted the raps to sign Posey, then they went after Kapono instead.

Shackleferd is just an idiot Red Neck

August 25, 2007  02:09 PM ET

Posey is a ****, the Heat would do good to unload this piece of ****, though I'm speaking completely as a Bulls fan who has witnessed his dirty play on numerous occassions, I grant you he is a decent roleplayer, but an inconsistent one that is bound to do something stupid more often than not...

August 25, 2007  03:36 PM ET

Nets GM Thorn Better sign Posey and get O'Neil in here fast. Nets Fans are not waiting another 5 years. Kidd, Carter and RJ with Krystic are not going to get a championship. Kidd, Carter and O'Neil have a real shot.

August 25, 2007  04:56 PM ET

It's Boston. Which is a smarter move for Mr. Posey.

August 25, 2007  05:43 PM ET

the heat have got to make some kind of move,there losing everybody
