Mark Murphy reports: (http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/basketball/celtics/view.bg? articleid=1105106 format= page=1 listingType=celt#articleFull)
Free agent James Posey, via agent Mark Bartelstein, continued to
talk to other NBA suitors in the wake of what he considers an
unacceptable offer from his former team - one that falls short of the
$5.8 million mid-level exception as well as his desire for a 4- to
5-year deal.
A Celtics source also continued to insist yesterday that the team
has not made a formal offer to free agent Corey Maggette, and that the
former Clipper is simply aware that the team has a $5.8 million
mid-level exception available - the same amount the team has been
unwilling to offer Posey.
But as Maggette continued to consider offers yesterday, with the
Warriors reportedly getting into the act, a number of teams had
something to offer that the Celtics won’t - a starting job.
Though the Spurs had the same salary slot available, San Antonio is
also interested in the high-scoring, volume-oriented Maggette as a
starter.
