One guy who I actually think would fit in well here would be Luke Walton. Isn't making a ton of money, and the Lakers have no real use for him. I just don't see the Lakers trading him to us. The thought of him hitting a big three against them in the Finals would probably be enough to squash any thought of such a trade.
That being said, I think that we are OK at every position save the 3. Not great, but OK. It really is unfortunate that the Hornets stupidly gave James a fourth year. He just isn't worth that much, and they really didn't need him. His big value to us was that he could play the 4 in a small lineup with K.G. at the 5. For the Hornets doing the same would mean either sitting West or Chandler. Not exactly a good thing for that squad as K.G. serves the dual role of being our defensive lynch pin and best offensive big, while Chandler and West divvy that up. Posey is at his best against 3's and 4', and he is getting smoked when slotted at the 2. Playing him at the three means sitting Peja, so the hornets lose out whichever way that they go.

He simply fit much better with us. Now they are paying him for how he fit in here, instead of how he would fit in there.
That being said, we need someone to replace him. Preferrably someone who could perform in a similar role - big 3, small 4 with range. We need another shooter out there off of the bench in that slot. The only shooter we have right now is Eddie. That isn't enough.
