James Posey to the Hornets

[EddieJohnson]

Damnit.. I was hoping he'd resign with the Celtics.


Looks like the west just got even tougher. :-/

Meh, on the contrary I'm happy that Boston got weaker. Sucks that NOOCH got him though.

[Sun Scorched]

Looks like the full MLE no?

Wasn't it around 5.5 million this year?

[Sun Scorched]

Wow, it just hit me...

...this was a FANTASTIC move by NO.

It'll be harder to knock their bench anymore. Paul and West were all-stars. Peja has a mean stroke. Chandler is legit. Posey is the intangibles guy for them now.

On a related note... what's the deal with Pargo? Is his still floating around or am I delusional?

I don't see how people can put Hornets over the Lakers. They still in my opinion have the best roster in the western conference. Also I think that Denver trading Camby makes them have less talent than Houston. I think you (miklo) overrated Memphis because right now I don't think they are proven talent. They are the team with the most potential though. Also I do not to knock Sacramento fans about their teams talent. I think their team will probably play above their talent level and surprise some people. I wouldn't be suprised if they the role of spoiler by beating people in the hunt for the playoffs. I also have to say that the Suns, Mavs, and Jazz are really close in talent level. I think people are really overlooking the Mavs.

I'd put Utah ahead of us as well.

Me too. We are 6th on that list with the lakers as #1. Unless our guys grow some balls and get motivated, than I see us as an early exit again.

Posey is a nice signing, but that is it. They have a very, very weak bench. WEst IMO is not an all-star, he got the nod b/c it was in N.O. Hes solid, but I saw a few others who should have got the nod over him

Anyways, I am not that scared that they signed him as some are on this form. Nice signing by all means. A solid role player who plays tough D. I don’t think this move puts them in the championship by all means.
