Posey would be wasted playing behind James

The Cavaliers have an interest in Celtics free agent James Posey just like a dozen teams out there. The problem is that they already have a small forward, and the addition of Posey would be so that he could play the same role that he did with the Celtics. One thing the Cavs have going for them is that Posey is from Twinsburg, a Cleveland suburb. Maybe he’ll want to return to the area with the cush job of having to play for James when, in the rare instance, he's sitting on the bench. Cleveland would be using their full mid-level exception for a player that is a reserve for one of the game’s most legendary players in Lebron James. In order to get full value for their $5.858 million, Cleveland would have to find a way to put James and Posey on the court at the same time.
