I have a feeling the Celts might not have such a hard time finding free agents this offseason - anyone know who some of the key free agents might be that would fit in well here?
Posey has a player option for next season at $3.5 million IIRC. I'm not sure he's going to take it. He's proven on the national stage, that he's the ultimate winner, and role player. He's a two time NBA champion now, and teams will want him. He's likely to get an MLE offer from someone. So while he could still return, he might not. Posey is in his 30's, so he might want one last pay day. When the Jarred Jefferies, Mark Blounts, and Brian Cardinals of the league are making 5-6 year MLE deals in the $30-42 million range, you've got to think that Posey can get more than 1 year and $3.5 million out there. He does deserve more.
Tyrone Lue is a possible replacement for Cassell. At least it's a name that's been mentioned. Other than that, it's early to speculate. The C's will be like the Pats now. Attractive to veterans who are in search of that elusive ring. Some good players who would otherwise be impossible to sign money wise, may take the veteran minimum for a chance, ala PJ Brown. How happy do you think PJ is that he came here for one last try? I'm curious to see who replaces him. I think Joe Smith is a FA. He made close to $7 million last year. Would he take the veteran minimum to play with his buddy KG, and try to get a ring? That would be sweet, but who knows.
