LAS VEGAS -- The reigning NBA champions are about to lose their glue guy.
NBA front-office sources told ESPN.com on Wednesday that James Posey has agreed to a four-year deal with the New Orleans Hornets worth an estimated $25 million.
Because of luxury-tax concerns, Boston was reluctant to offer Posey, 31, more than a two-year deal in spite of his considerable contributions to the Celtics' first championship since 1986.
Dangit!... I really was hoping that NO wasn't the team that would get his services.
good move by NO
Wow.
And so much for a Boston repeat.
Great!
I am happy he did not stay with Celtics and did not go to Lakers
Thread with "Sons" in the le in 3 . . . 2. . . 1 . . .
the Hornets.
Julian Wright will be a happy camper... nice move![]()
Can our division get any better?
wright has talent
posey is good
but he is older then wright
When can I start putting money on the Hornets as 2009 champs? That team just got better and they were scary before......
Spurs sit idle.....Losing ground....Not improving....
Im usually all positive but as each day passes I get negative....
Wow!
Celtics shouldn't screwed around
NO suddenly got really really scary for everyone in the division, if they weren't already.
And I think Boston will miss him more than people are thinking. The Big Three isn't getting any younger, there were signs of them getting tired a bit in the Finals already. And I don't know who is going to fill the void that Posey left for them, a big 2-3 who can hit the outside shot and play in your face D.
W/e
Lakers still better then the nets.
poseys overrated anyways
Great move for NO. They were already a very good team. Posey just makes them better. I hope S.A avoids them in the playoffs. The Spurs didn't have anyone for David West and Chris Paul is a machine.
This is bad news for the Spurs and, excepting unforeseen injuries, this should help carry New Orleans to the next level.
Wow look at the echo in the thread from when the Lakers signed Malone and Payton.
Overrated dum dum dum dum dum Overrated dum dum dum dum dum
How the did the Celtics let this guy walk? No way they win game 4 without him. New Orleans looks like the team to beat in the West.
I just saw the sky falling out my window. Literally.
It's a very good move by the Hornets.
I don't see how you can call a top three perimeter defender overrated. Not to mention he has range so he's not an offensive liability. This is exactly what NO needed. Solid defensive minded vet leadership with range.
