Your Morning Dump... Where Posey, Thornton and Stevenson are remote options to replace Green

Found December 18, 2011 on Red's Army: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: James Posey,  DeShawn Stevenson,  Sasha Pavlovic,  Brandon Bass,  Marquis Daniels,  Kendrick Perkins
TEAMS: Indiana Pacers,  Dallas Mavericks,  Boston Celtics,  Oklahoma City Thunder

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. And the market, as one NBA executive told CSNNE.com on Saturday, is "extremely thin."With only the veteran's minimum to offer, it becomes even less likely that the C's will be able to find a player not currently on the roster, to help replace Green's contributions.Some of the possibilities for the C's include former Celtic James Posey, Al Thornton and DeShawn Stevenson.

Boston Celtics reportedly satisfied with small forwards, not looking at James Posey

Via Celtics Town  |  December 19, 2011
Perhaps Danny Ainge is looking for a shooting guard or a center, since the Celtics more or less don’t have a backup at either position. I’d still like Boston to pursue another small forward — read my post about the need for Marquis Daniels to remain healthy — but at this point Posey might not be as productive as Sasha Pavlovic (*dodges full beer thrown by...
