  1. How about not wanting to see him in a Laker's, Cav's, Detroit etc. uniform next year in the playoffs as a reason for keeping him?

  1. Look at his playoff shooting percentage, and other stats per minutes on court, and you will see nothing but "Money in the Bank". AKA "A CLUTCH PLAYOFF PLAYER". How could you not want POSEY more than someone that may have had better season numbers?

  1. We need POSE as much as we do the starting 5. It's difficult to believe he would be as happy somewhere else. Please stay Pose!

  1. I would hate to see him play for another team. It would be a great loss to the Celtics if they don't resign him.

  1. After bearing witness to Kobe's true character and Jackson's apparent indifference throughout the finals I can't imagine anyone wanting to play for the Lakers. Knowing that James will more than likely jump ship as soon as possible I can't imagine anyone flocking to Cleveland. Understanding that Detroit may well 'blow things up' I can't imagine Posey would be happy with the Pistons. Of course there are other potential suitors out there, but very few if any offer the feverish climate and allure surrounding the C's. Please Posey, don't hurt 'em....

  1. Do you really want to see Posey guarding Pierce with the game on the line if he's on the Lakers, Pistons, or Cavs???
