George steps into Posey's place in FA market

With James Posey moving to New Orleans, there is going to be a renewed interest in Mavericks free agent, Devean George, who is basically the same type of player, one who can come in as a backup small forward or shooting guard. He’s won championships with the Lakers and has played in more big games with Dallas. It should be a priority that Dallas keep him, but after the younger Antoine Wright as a swingman with the idea of adding depth, there might not be the money left in Dallas to feed into that position. George will have some higher value with other teams as someone that can come in and be the seventh or eighth man. There is not reason that all the teams that were seriously in play for Posey shouldn’t be lining up for George — and they can probably get him at a reduced rate.
