LAS VEGAS -- The reigning NBA champions are about to lose their glue guy.

Posey

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.

but danny ainge is dumb as hell to let him get away
At 4 years and $25 mil he isnt that dumb, but they probably could have made a better offer. Good for Posey for getting that $.

Thanks for helping bringing the chip back to Bean town Mr. Posey

 

[messiahchild]

HORRIBLE....SIGNING.....4 years to a 31-year old.....THIS OFF-SEASON IS DEPRESSING...

 

[allen3xis]

Awful deal

 

[blackmagnus514]

@ it being 4 yrs tho

him at the 2 aint a bad look. put Mo's bum ++# on the bench

 

[youngtriz]

good for posey.... i cant believe even miami let him go

 

[Bonafide]

Good signing for NO. Now they have someone that can guard perimeter players

 

[scuse7]

I don't know if that was a great sign.

I wonder if Posey can score like Hornets fans think he can.

He is a 3 shooter.

So is Peja and look how CP3 helped him out.

Kinda lengthy at 4 years, but eh, it's not like the Hornets are one of these up and coming ball clubs.

They've proved last year, and in the playoffs that they're a powerhouse out West.

Posey definitely helps the cause. Is Pargo resigned?

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

25 mill,

6+ mil a year for posey????

Ehhh....

 

[my name is grafh]

Yay aqua and gold mouthpiece!

 

[pkballr]

Instead of Garcia, I'd part with Shelden Williams.

 

[thasoleful1]

whatt Posey to the Hornets. they got like a million shooters on that team

 

[mez 0ne]

People complaining about Posey getting paid?

Dude is a proven reliable player on ANY playoff team, and dude is clutch.

He deserves that contract.

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

And you would be parting w/ the greatest PF of our generation.

Word but I'm glad he's not with the C's any more.

 

[JD617]

NOOOOOO POSEY!!!

I can't blame the Celtics for only offering 3 years though. I was just hoping no other team would offer him 4 cause I think he would've returned to theCeltics if that was the case. Thanks for everything, Pose. We'll miss you.

WOW...

Posey is a MINIMAL upgrade of Morris Peterson, and they're the same kind of player: shooters who play defense.

GREAT IDEA.

LAS VEGAS -- The reigning NBA champions are about to lose their glue guy.

Posey

James Posey, arguably the most coveted unrestricted free agent left on the market, agreed to a four-year deal with the New Orleans Hornets on Wednesday worth an estimated $25 million, his agent, Mark Bartelstein, said.

Because of future luxury-tax concerns, Boston was apparently reluctant to offer Posey, 31, more than a two- or three-year deal starting at the league's mid-level exception (just under $5.6 million) in spite of Posey's considerable contributions to the Celtics' first championship since 1986.

Getting Posey would be a huge coup for the Hornets, who are coming off a breakthrough season and increasingly billed as a future power in the West with quality starters such as David West, Tyson Chandler and Peja Stojakovic surrounding face of the franchise Chris Paul.

But the Hornets went into the summer desperate to fortify their thin bench and import a proven winner like Posey, who has won two rings in the past three seasons with the Celtics and Miami Heat.

Pretty much.

He was gonna get paid regardless, it was just a matter of years. Nobody wanted to offer him 4. NO did.

Posey > Mo Pete, that's for sure.
