This is actually great news for us.
Signing Barry puts the Rockets right at the Luxury tax level this year and fairly close to it already for the following year.
So i think this effectively takes the Rockets out of the hunt for Posey.
IMO, the only 2 teams that have a chance at Posey are New Orleans and Detroit. Signing Posey at the full MLE would put LA Fakers and Cleveland $11M and $14-20M over the luxury tax respectively. Would they really do that for Posey?
I doubt it.
