Sources: Posey agrees to four-year deal with Hornets

[knee-knee-3]

The hornets will kick your sorry asses next season...

But wait you got Hill, Gist, and Mason LOL

You may be right. Good luck holding off the Clips for the last playoff spot.

Best Perimeter Defenders:

1a. Kobe
1b. Bowen
3. Prince
4. Artest
5. Posey
6. Battier
7. Igoudala
8. Raja Bell
9. Rondo
10. Billups

Posey, Pierce and Allen took turns contesting LBJ's jumpshot and crowding him when he got to the paint. It's a shame for Cleveland that he doesn't have any help. Posey is a Cleveland guy and would've helped them.

Rondo in top 10 ? dont agree

Thread with "Sons" in the le in 3 . . . 2. . . 1 . . .

i was comfused by your thread , but now i got it . hehe

[DPG21920]

Hey, chill. I only brought it up because you use the same expression like 200x in the other threads. I didn't say he doesn't belong in the SL. What I'm doubtful is wether he can make our first team or if he needs some time with the Toros working on that PG position.

I know. Its my catch phrase! I think since he already is the athlete he needs to be and has the defense, that he will probably be a Spur and see little time. The D-League would help him and I think under different cir stances yes he goes, but I do not think this is the time. We always have 3 pgs.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fark, that's not good.

[TheMadHatter]

Posey is going to fit in great with the Hornets because they already play great defense. Chandler, CP3, West, and Posey is one of a good defensive core. Peja is the weak link, but the rest of the guys can make up for his short comings.

It's these kind of small moves that propel contenders into NBA champions. Don't be surprised if the Hornets are in the WCF next season.

[Ghazi]

Good pickup, but it's not an over the top move at all. Posey is just a role player who is being a tad overrated due to some moments of brilliance in the Finals. Hornets don't scare me. Find me an example of a championship team in the past built around a 6 foot point guard with a good not great PF, no shooting guard, and a center with no low post moves.

True, there hasn't been one, but it doesn't mean that there will never be one either. The Hornets looked real good last year, and if Posey plays like he did in Boston and Miami during the playoffs in the next two years, I think the Hornets might be considered the top contender in the WCF.

[TheMadHatter]

The BEST part of this move for me is that the Celtics are now weaker. Big 3 is getting older and their role players will be comprised of young rookies. Not a winning combination.

[Ghazi]

True, I definitely see them as being a perennial good team for the next 3-4 years but nowhere near championship caliber.. a "quasi contender" if you will kinda like the Kings/Blazers/Mavs. As for their playoff run, wasn't overly impressed because the Mavs played like absolute with only Bass/Dirk showing up and they blew a 2-0 lead against the Spurs. I just am not overly impressed with their roster because they lack a shooting guard, West is not an elite PF compared to the likes of Dirk/Duncan/Stoudamire, Peja is their #3 option, and they don't have a reliable low post scorer. Paul deserves plenty of credit for elevating the roster, but it still isn't that good IMO.

They'll be a good team, but I don't lose any sleep over them... only team in the West that truly scares me if the Lakers IF Bynum picks up where he left off before the knee injury.

Mavs

Agreed. Lakers fans have to hope that their compe ion gets weaker in order to have a chance.

Ok This is my first post. I've been visiting this site since a week or two before the draft. Here it goes:

Quote from RJ215's post Best Perimeter Defenders:

1a. Kobe
1b. Bowen
3. Prince
4. Artest
5. Posey
6. Battier
7. Igoudala
8. Raja Bell
9. Rondo
10. Billups

Kobe Bryant = Overrated defender
What did he do defensively (except for the one steal, which was a foul and he got lucky because Pierce had beaten him) in the finals. During the Spurs series, he guarded Bruce Bowen for most of the time, great defensive assignment there He's a decent to good defender, but to have him as one of the top defenders in the league, that's just wrong.

IMO the BEST part of this move is that the Lakers did not get Posey

[lefty]

Great!

I am happy he did not stay with Celtics and did not go to Lakers

You do realize he joined a young division rival we beat in 7 games last season

[TheMadHatter]

Agreed. Lakers fans have to hope that their compe ion gets weaker in order to have a chance.

Well considering we made it to the Finals and beat your team 4-1 in the WCF WITHOUT our starting C I don't think we need any handouts or favors next year.

[spurman20]

If they are counting on Posey as a SG they are fooling themselves. He makes them better on D but hes not a 35mpg guy.

They will regret the signing and regret giving away the 27th pick this year. There were player at 27 that could have helped them and hurt us much more.

[Captain Obvious]

My senses tell me Posey is not Jesus. No one can save the Hornets.

[T Park]

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.

Thats exactly what I've been saying!!!

THANK YOU!

Manu was like 40% of his potential because of his injury.

Not to mention that Stern sent you to the Finals anyway.

Thanks God your team was exposed in the NBA Finals.

And by the way, Bynum's career is over.

Fully agree with that.

How? An injury doesnt neccesarily end a persons career

9/11 was staged, the moon landing was faked, and the government is also hiding alien corpses in Roswell.

You know it was Stern, but you don't want to admit it.

Kobe doesn't have the leadership to lead the Lakers to a le.

And he is not returning to the Finals anytime soon

Enjoy

Wow, how proud you must be! When's the parade?

Seriously, if "you" made it to the finals and beat "my" team blah blah blah what are you doing hanging around on another team's message board constantly trying to talk down all the other teams? Seems like an awfully large inferiority complex for a team that's so far superior to everyone else.
