Sizing Up the James Posey Sweepstakes
emptythebench.com 7/3/2008 — You know it’s a weak free-agent class when James Posey, most recently of the Boston Celtics, is one of the most in-demand players still available.
After his gritty contributions to the Celtics’ championship run this season, however, ...

D-Miles Has Impressive Workout For Celtics —
Slam Dunk Central
The “ Boston Globe ” reported that the Boston Celtics brought in veteran free agent Darius Miles and that Miles had what is being labeled as an impressive workout. If Miles is healthy and can play for Boston or any other team that would not be good news for the Portland Trail Blazers or their General Manager Kevin Pritchard. Right now Miles salary that is due to him does not ...

Rip City Project | A Portland Trailblazers blog
Links are coming in sparingly on this 4th of July, but check out the bottom of this story from Hoopsworld. Apparently "someone" said Darius Miles had an "impressive" workout for the Boston Celtics recently. I'm extremely suspicious of this, especially considering the Celtics are in the midst of a free-agent camp. Smells like something an agent would float to get some interest in his client. Of ...

The Celtics made an offer to Corey Maggette. No they didn't. Yes they did. So, did they or didn't they? First, the Globe said that the Celtics made an offer to both Posey and Maggette on the first day of free agency. The Celtics have made contract offers to two forwards: Their own free agent, James Posey, and Clippers free agent Corey Maggette, sources told the Boston Globe. The most ...

We've known for a while that the Celtics were talking to free agents, but other than Maggette and the Birdman, we didn't get too many names. Marc Spears solves that today.

First of all, there's news that Doc Rivers called Corey.

Josh Smith is Coming to Philly —
Philadelphia 76ers
Just to visit folks, not permanently. Josh Smith and his agents Brian Dyke and Wallace Prowther are set to meet with Ed Stefanski and the Sixers today. I’m sure this meeting will consist of both business and a little tour around the city. I hope Ed has had experience with sales pitches.
Reportedly, the Sixers contacted the restricted free-agent right after free-agency started, showing ...
Corey Maggette? —

In a move that I don’t think anyone of us saw coming, the Celtics have offered former Clippers guard Corey Maggette a contract. Here’s the latest on Maggette and James Posey from the Globe:
The Celtics have made contract offers to two forwards: Their own free agent, James Posey, and Clippers free agent Corey Maggette, sources told the Boston Globe. The most the Celtics ...

Boston.com just reported that The Celtics have made contract offers to two forwards: Their own free agent, James Posey, and Clippers free agent Corey Maggette, sources told the Boston Globe. The most the Celtics could offer is the mid-level exception (about $5.8 million), and it's doubtful that they could sign both players. The terms of the offers were not disclosed. The Posey offer isn't ...

That means we will not have the right to match any offer he gets. I'm sure the team wouldn't mind having him back at a reasonable price, but only after all the ...
Celtics focused on re-signing Posey —
NBA - Sports Rumors - Yahoo! Sports
For the NBA champion Boston Celtics , free agency begins today with James Posey as the primary focus. Most other personnel matters will be handled after Posey's situation is settled. One move was made last night when the franchise failed to make Tony Allen a qualifying offer, thus making the guard an unrestricted free agent, according to his agent, Mike Higgins. The arrival of draft picks J.R. ...
Tony Allen: Free Agent? —
RedsArmy.com - The Voice Of Celtics Fans
While there is still no “official” word from the Celtics (a.k.a: no quote from Danny that says “no we have not made a qualifying offer”), there is no indication that the Celtics have extended an offer to Tony Allen.
The NBA’s transactions page was updated at 1:15 am, and it did not include an offer to Tony Allen. Therefore, I’m working on the ...

Talking Chop
Durham 5, Richmond 1
J. Anderson 2-4 2B, K
M. Jurich 1-4 HR(1), 2 K
You know there is just so little in this game to write about. Chris Resop started the game and pitched 2 innings striking out 4 and not allowing a run. Thats pretty impressive for him. Josh Anderson did get two hits but then he got picked off first by the pitcher (Cummings). I think it is going to get worse for ...

Inside the Kings
Back from Minneapolis and, as usual, it feels good to be in L.A. For those who haven't been there, Minneapolis has a nice downtown area. But I found it interesting to note that in the ``State of Hockey,'' I saw more people wearing Kevin Garnett Boston Celtics jerseys than anything else. They're confused people these days, those Minnesotans...

Could There Be Another Birdman in Boston? —
LOY's PLACE a celtics green blog
There has been mention of the Celtics considering Chris "The Birdman" Anderson to fill the center spot left by PJ Brown if he retires. I really like this move if the Celtics can get him. He is an unrestricted free agent and newly returned to the NBA from a suspension for drugs that kept him out for 2 years. He played in 5 games for the New Orleans Hornets after his reinstatement last ...
The 2010 Plan —
RedsArmy.com - The Voice Of Celtics Fans
You can’t read a story about an NBA transaction without hearing what kind of impact it will have on the 2010 free agents. LeBron James and Dwyane Wade can both opt out of their deals in the summer of 2010… along with other pretty good players like Chris Bosh and Michael Redd. The free agent list in 2010 doesn’t look too bad either.
While everyone is jockying for ...
