weei is reporting that posey is a hornet

[Kontradiction]

based on what?

Based on it's going to be 2010. In 2006 would you have predicted that the Celtics would be a pathetic team in 2007-2008? You probably would have. And how wrong you would have been.

i guess . anything can happen this is true. but you can say that about every team in the league

lol you dont see it but i do. i think danny ainge does to. he wont have to sign a one or two year deal. thats just pure speculation on your part. when lebron comes up for free agency the celtics will have a top level salary slot available to land lebron or another big name free agent. thats a fact. he would be more likely to get a long term deal because like you said pp and kg will be around for two or three after lebron would sign. thats also speculation. kg or pp might re up and have a reduced role. to say the celtics dont have a chance to land him is just silly.

I didn't say they didn't have a chance. Money wise they will have a chance, but I think it's highly unlikely he will sign in Boston.

Sure I'd love him to but I don't see it happening. If KG and PP were in their prime sure, but not 2 year from now.

i guess we have to agree to disagree. i think boston has a excellnet chance of getting him. i see it happening.

"What home town discount? Posey was with the team for ONE YEAR genius, why would he take a 'home town' discount, plus he took a huge pay cut to come here in the first place. You might have also missed it, but he was a vital part of a recent Celtics championship.

I just flagged that above quoted post for being moronic."

Why would he take a discount? Oh gee, I don't know, because he actually LIKES playing here and LIKES his team mates and wants to win another championship you clown, just like Mike Lowell did, guess you just glossed over that part of my post.

Missed it? Nope, I saw two of the Laker games in person, including game six, so I didn't miss anything.

Looks like you missed something today; you forgot to take your anti douchebag pills.

And for the record, NBA GM's today are saying "Four years for how much?" He'd better score more than 7 points per game. Don't piss your pants, the Celtics will carry on without MVPosey ok sh!tstain?

 

[patriotspride]

i loved posey and I'm sad to see him go. but that doesnt mean i think the celtics should have given him a four year deal. that's just to risky for a player his age and reduces the teams salary flexibility. lets wait and see what the team looks like in november.

 

[MrBigglesWorth]

which is the last bigtime free agent to sign with the celts prior to the kg and ray allen trade?

Boston hasn't been a distination players want to come for a while.

 

[JoeSixPat]

Once it was clear Posey was entertaining 4 year offers I pretty much knew he'd not be back...

the Celts would pay him handsomely for 2 years - but they want the flexibility to sign a big name in 2 years...

I predict 2 years from now when that happens and people realize it would not be happening with Posey's remaining $12.5 million on the books, no one will be complaining

You can pull yourself out from under that rock now. The Celtics have won #17 all is well in Boston. Since the Boston Celtics are Word Champions, the city is no longer racist. Actually, the one organization in Boston with a history of racism is the Boston Red Sox, and how have they done in free agency. The New England Patriots did not draw any big name free agents when they were losing. Heck, I remember an All Pro's brother being drafted by the Pats and he refused to play here. Bottom line, its about winning.

In case you've noticed Boston is still a cold small hard to get around city. I will give you the attraction of playing with PP and KG, but seriously how many years do those guys have left at the top of their game? I sincerely hope you're right that free agents will start coming in droves to Boston. Now Boston isn't as dire as it use to be obviously.

They couldn't even get Corey Maggette to come here.

Do the math on years and ask yourself why would Lebron come to Boston with aging stars? LeBron is all about the money and he's going to NY IMO. The league wants it.

If I'm under a rock, yoou're under a boulder. You don't think the city of Boston doesn't ahve a history of racism? Go talk to Bill Russell.

I'll say this same thing to you. The Celts couldn't get Maggette to come here. Until they get a big time free agent to SIGN here(not traded) I will view this period of time as a 2-3, maybe 4 year stretch before the celts are back in the lower half of the NBA.

Corey Maggette signed for $50 Milllion, slightly more then our mid-level excemtion. I know all about Boston's racism. Did you want to compare the racism in Boston during Russell's tenure to other cities racism. Did you want to compare today's racism in Boston to other cities? Again, its about winning and the Celtics are the World Champions. Right now players will come to Boston, its just a matter of the $'s lining up. Maggette was not going to throw away 25 million to play here.

If you know all aboout the Boston's racism how come you didn't mention it in your previous post?

Sure players will come to Boston, it's a matter of which ones. And sorry to tell you but LeBron ain't coming to Boston no matter how much yoou want it. And don't even think of this as being like Randy Moss or AD.

LeBron is getting a max deal and he's going to a big time market with an up and coming team. By that I mean a young team and not a team on the downside of their careers.

It almost sounds as if you don't like the Celtics...

Anyways back to the topic. Posey got 25M for 4 years. That's too much $$ for a role player, quite frankly. I'm sure Ainge will be exploring his options.

I enjoy the Celts, can't stand the NBA and the arbitrary reffing. Sure I'd love for them to get LeBron, but it's a pipe dream.

Getting good veteran players to come is one thing. To get a star in his prime is another thing.

I only brought up the racism claim because prior to Ray Allen becoming a Celtic there was a lot of threads reasoning that no free agent was coming to Boston because of racism.
I never mentioned LeBron.
I stated that free agents will sign with the Celtics because they are winning.
As RW would say, 'Geesh'.
Its only been a couple of months since the Boston Celtics whipped f'n asssssss to become WORLD CHAMPIONS (note to anyone: if those last two words don't give you some sort of orgasm, woody, goose bumbs, then do as Fitzy would offer).
