The Indiana Pacers have been players so far in the NBA marketplace, acquiring David West from the Hornets and are in talks to acquire O.J Mayo from Memphis. Unfortunately for the Pacers, this means money saving cuts need to be made. Fortunately, for the Boston Celtics, it could be their gain.
James Posey, who played in Boston in 2008 and was a key member of their championship season has had the amnesty clause used on him by the Indiana Pacers, making him available for the highest bidder. The market for James Posey will likely be teams looking for some veteran leadership or an extra wing player at a cheap cost.
Now, the James Posey isn’t the same player he was when he was with Boston, but there is no denying the impact he could bring to the team. It makes the bench deeper, provides another shooter off the bench, another solid defender and a veteran leadership from a guy who knows how to win. There’s also no denying that Celtics fans everywhere miss his pregame man hugs.
