Hornets Sign James Posey

All the waiting has finally come to an end as the Boston Herald reports that the New Orleans Hornets signed forward James Posey to a four-year, $25 million dollar deal earlier this afternoon. About a month ago, Posey was making his presence felt in the playoffs as a Boston Celtic, a real spark plug off the bench for the 2008 NBA Champions. Posey came up with some clutch three-pointers and some stellar defense that certainly helped fortify his future. The Celtics were apprehensive about signing Posey for around 5 million for four years. (They made a big mistake by giving $1 million to Brian Scalibrine). Posey stated in an interview with Comcast Sportsnet that the free agency negotiations has been "frustrating". "It is what it is. I'm just taking things one day at a time." Posey almost sounded like he knew he probably wouldn't be back. Today proves that statement.
