    He was an obstacle to our team.

    We're way better without him, plus now Tony Allen can get playing time.

    LOL CK.. way to throw Posey under the bus.

    Seriously we won't know how much or how little we'll miss Posey until the Playoffs where he was a solid, unflappable vet and played more than he did at this time of year.

    I was really surprised when I looked up these numbers, it's crazy that we have improved (in a short sample size) so far in these three areas.

    The Bench scoring surprises me, the other 2 don't, scoring is down across the league.

    The bench has surprised me as well, I thought they would be deal pretty much for most of the games.

    House has been great as well, gotta give him credit for making those long range 3 pointers.

    Hornets want to dump salary. You guys can probably get him back for expirings if you'd like. But he wasn't too good last year, I believe.

    Yeah, and Posey was the reason for that.
