Wow he got a great deal. 4 years 25$mill!

Does this mean championship in Nola next season? Maybe.

Boki to Boston?

 

[panthersare#1]

The hornets have a very talented team and with Posey who has a decent outside game and good inside, and good defense should really be a good role player for them. Julian Wright was coming on last season, so they will both likely split time at the SF/PF position.

You know what would be really interesting? If the Nets could now sign and trade both Krstic and Nachbar in the same deal to a team. Who could use both? I think Thorn said there would be more movement with free agents and stuff once Posey decided on a a team.

Mia and S.A. come to mind.

I dont see that happening though, bc we be getting back a player, and not giving up anyone currently on the roster

 

[kk30]

wow this means boki will make a good payday too

celtics just lost a very very important piece..............

 

[reganomics813]

Thank goodness somebody caved so he could make up his mind. Now we should see some action on the trade front.

Edit: Good signing by N.O. this season, the next couple are gonna be real interesting for them financially though.

Our best perimeter defender in the playoffs was Paul Pierce. By far.

 

[The Dream]

I wouldn't say "by far"......game in and game out Posey is a better defender than Pierce........

 

[Super John]

for 4 years, $25 million so says the Boston Globe...once FA market clears up maybe Rod can get some return calls on propsoed sign and trades.

Nope, not crying. We didn't want him for 4 years. 2, maybe 3 the max. He wanted the cash and looks like he got it at N.O.

 

[huevonkiller]

I don't see the big deal with an extra year added to his contract.

 

[go nets]

And the decline of the celtics begins...
