Celtics Make Offers To Posey & Maggette

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.

ESPN: 'Baron Davis agrees to sign with the Clippers'. Detroit Pistons could benefit.
Full-Court Press — ... Maggette plays. The other two teams that are far enough under the cap are the Philadelphia 76ers and the Memphis Grizzlies, with the 76ers having no need for him and Magette probably not eager to play in Memphis. Corey Maggette is a player the Detroit Pistons would love to land, especially for the Mid-Level exception. But his availability and the lack of teams with enough cap space to offer him anything other than the Mid-Level might lead the Pistons to another available player.

Celtics offer Posey, Maggette
Rip City Project | A Portland Trailblazers blog — ... Well, the Baron Davis fallout has begun. Now that it's clear the Clippers can't keep Maggette, and Orlando made him a full midlevel offer, everyone else is going to want to take a stab at keeping him -- especially if the teams that do have cap room, Philly, Memphis and Golden State choose not to go after him. Next in line are the Boston Celtics, who might just become the Eastern Conference version of the Spurs for veterans who want to win titles. Of course, Maggette might still want to get paid, but there aren't going to be very many outlets for that this offseason. ...

Herald Celtics deny Corey Maggette offer FL's Take: Making offers to Posey and Maggette didn't make sense. It makes more sense if they just contacted him as a feel out process in case Posey doesn't sign. But even if they did sign Maggette, he wouldn't fill Posey's shoes. Posey is a defensive stopper who is willing to do the dirty work. Maggette's value is in his offensive game. Defense ...
