I am NOT looking forward to the lame white and teal mouthpieces.
Lakers would have lost to the Hornets IMO
I am NOT looking forward to the lame white and teal mouthpieces.
i dont see posey "lifting" the hornets to a championship or even the Finals.
Not really. Posey will probably play more 2-guard now, taking away more minutes from Mo Pete than Julian Wright. Julian is a combo forward. He'll probably get some more back-up power forward minutes too.
Julian Wright should be fine.
Bonzi Wells is the one that needs to find a new job.
I certainly don't think it puts them completely over the top but it does address some issue for them and also adds some leadership and experience of which they had none. Its a good addition and if their core can return healthy I consider them contenders and I do think they'll be better than last year.
Call me crazy but I think the Hornets will not be as strong next year. Give me more than a year of success and Posey to convince me. I' honestly feel they were over achievers, They of all the teams in the West benifitted from the West late season trades. Great seed and a first round match up with the Mavericks who changed ther QB. Then they lost game 7 at home. Not sold on the Hornets. Celtics are the team to beat.
well, at least peja is getting up there in years and west will never have a year as good as last year, hopefully that will be enough to keep them being too much better next year
i agree they will still be good next year but i honestly wouldve been more worried if he had landed with the Lakers. i think hes a great team defender but probably overrated as an individual defender.
The Celtics lost their one clutch player. I think this is a massive loss for them. I highly doubt they can win a championship without him unless they find a similar type player. He was the enforcer and kept their big three from being soft.
The Hornets are better but I still think they had the perfect storm last year regarding health. The chances of Chandler, Peja and West being healthy at the same time aren't that great. Throw in Paul who is a little bit injury prone and they are going to need the stars to align right once again to have four injury prone players be healthy at the same time. But if those stars align, having Posey is going to make them a lot better, no doubt.
good signing for new orleans
Totally agree. This is a huge loss for them. THey should never have let him walk.
Maybe the C's would be interested in signing Horry.
agreed. i think the Celtics really lost out on a great team player who knows his role and excells in it. Posey is kinda like Horry when by himself he is not a great talent but surround him with great players and he will take alot of the pressure off of them by making clutch plays in crunch time. although i dont see him making that same kind of impact in New Orleans. people can critisize Boston for not making a bigger run at him but at the same time,Posey has just thrown himself in the Lions Den that is the Western Conference where it is MUCH more harder to come out.
Guys its POSEY. Freaken POSEY. Please don't forget Garnett, Pierce and Allen. It was there first year together and they won the whole thing. The 4th best player on that team is Rhondo. He is pretty freaken good and lets not forget Perkins, he had a break out year playing with 3 future hall of famers and not one of the 3 name is FREAKEN POSEY!!!!!!!!!!!1
Calling Posey overrated is pretty lame.
overrated in the sense that hes a franchise changing player that will get you a championship.
which everyone has him as.
damn, hornets is getting better.
!
i cant believe im saying this but i actually agree with this laker fan.
history has proven recently with the last 10 years that a dominant big man gets you championships. (Duncan and Shaq)
rarely does a team with no dominant big man go all the way and win it all
Hornets have a great PG but no dominant big man and make it hard to believe they can come out of the toughest conference in the history of the NBA.

Yea what he said ^^^^^^^
Of all the moves made by any team this summer, this is the one I fear the most for some reason. And it pisses me off the Spurs didn't/couldn't do anything about it.
Daughters
4 years, at about 6 million each is a crazy contract that very little teams will want to match for posey.
new orleans will be a better team. chris paul and david west will get better, peja and chandler will remain about the same. however, new orleans was desperate for an experienced championship player. so desperate that they will commit posey, a very average player during the regular season, to four years. posey took advantage of that and i doubt any other contender would have matched it.
Were the Hornets over the cap? This deal is worth more than the MLE is it not?
around 6 MIL a year
Well the MLE is not quite 6M. The contract is for 4 years 25M. 6M * 4 = 24M. Maybe it includes 8% raises?
