Unrestricted free agent James Posey has drawn the interest of several teams, including the Mavericks.

But Posey is caught in the same logjam as many other unrestricted free agents who are waiting for restricted free agents Mickael Pietrus and Sasha Pavlovic to be signed.

Teams have been reluctant to commit to other big guards or small forwards until Pietrus and Pavlovic sign.

Posey's agent, Mark Bartelstein, sees some progress.

"We're talking," he said. "There have been a number of conversations."
