Posey wants Lakers, Lakers willing to go full MLE to land him!?
—
Sounds like there is mutual respect on both sides. I would, once again, LOVE to have James Posey on this Lakers squad: Hoopsworld : Why are the C’s distancing themselves from Maggette? It did not sit well with James Posey, who was labeled the Celtics top off-season priority. The Celtics did make an offer to Posey that was far less than the full boat median exception he has been ...

Fiddlin' and Diddlin' - Daily Links 7/2 — LOY's PLACE a celtics green blog
Herald Celtics make offer to James Posey FL's Take: I am thinking that the sticking point is the length of the contract. My guess is that Posey wants 4 or more years and Danny is offering 3. Hopefully they can come to an agreement because Posey is very valuable to this team in so many ways and I don't want to see him on the Lakers, Pistons, Cavs, Nets or Hornets. Not only would losing ...

Ron Artest has decided to stay in Sacramento . How does that affect the Celtics? The Lakers were expected to make a move for Artest should he have opted out… in an effort to get that defensive stopper they desperately need. Now, the next best option for them might be James Posey.

Why Boston NEEDS to keep James Posey — Daily Basketball
by Paul Gartlan One of many unsung heroes last season for the Boston Celtics was James Posey.

Rather then re-sign Pierce, the Celtics seem preoccupied with offensive minded players such as Corey Maggette or Darius ...
