    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.
    someone forgot that a guy named Andrew Bynum is coming to help the Lakers

    bynum coming back>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> posey signing with hornets

    Well the MLE is not quite 6M. The contract is for 4 years 25M. 6M * 4 = 24M. Maybe it includes 8% raises?

    i know the MLE is 5.8 MIL.

    but hes gotta be making around 6 MIL a year to equal 24 MIL for 4 years

    Exactly, and if the contract is indeed 25M for 4 years, then that must mean it includes the allowable 8% raises, or they were not over the cap by just a little more than the MLE.

    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

    Great!

    I am happy he did not stay with Celtics and did not go to Lakers
    You're happy about our toughest opposition adding a great defender?

    Posey isn't coming back from season-ending surgery that could possibly linger.

    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.
    New Orleans just went from having no one to check Ginobili or Kobe to having arguably the best perimeter defender not named Bruce Bowen to do so.

    This shouldn't be a hard concept for you to understand.

    8% of the first year salary as a raise each year.

    (464K in this case... 5.8 * .8)

    5.8 million
    6.264 million
    6.728 million
    7.192 million
    ------------
    25.98 million

    The Spurs won 4 out of 5 from the Hornets. I don't see how Posey makes them that much better, unless Timmy gets sick again and the Spurs spot them two games again.

    Sure, maybe Posey wasn't one of the Celtic's 'stars' he was probably the 5th most important player, but in the parity of today's NBA, loosing such a player for nothing can be the difference between championship and 2nd round exit. Remember 2005? Horry was what, the 5th most important Spur? But no way SA wins without his contributions.

    Let's put it this way. Since Horry was totally useless against the Mavs in 06, say SA had Posey in that series. Do the Spurs win that series? The championship?

    I just hope the Spurs find a matchup for West. He was the killer, not CP.

    About sums it up.

    And if you don't think this makes NO that much better, I'm sorry, you're wrong. Posey was that vital piece of veteran leadership and defense that the Hornets lacked against us last season. Not to mention this just gives us even more matchup problems on the defensive of end when we face the Hornets. I'm sure I'm going overboard crowning them champs, but they just got ALOTTTTTT better.

    They were less than one game from the WCF with a scrub like Bonzi ing Wells playing meaningful minutes for them. Remove Bonzi - insert Posey, the Spurs don't make it past them and they probably beat the Lakers and Celtics too. It sucks how much better it makes them

    Make sure to get Timmy to eat that bad Jambalaya again and be sick for two games.

    Well... Rasheed was probably the reason the Pistons lost game six.
