So Eddie Jones hasn't dropped off at all? And he's a better defender than Posey? And he'll help us win a playoff game?
I disagree, but you're allowed your opinion. Right now, I really don't feel like arguing whether a 5ppg dropoff from last season and a perimeter shooter shooting under his career FG% with Shaq on his team is or isn't a dropoff. We need to be looking for upgrades. Replacing JWill with Damon Stoudamire and essentially swapping James Posey for Eddie Jones is putting a different face on the exact same problems. IMHO.
