News Flash: ESPN.com is reporting the Boston Celtics have signed free agent James Posey to a contract.The 9-year veteran out of Xavier is regarded as a hard-nosed defensive specialist.
The View from Mt. Olympus: Further proof that Boston has become a preferred destination for NBA players looking to win championships.
Danny Ainge wasted little time moving on after finding out Reggie Miller would not be coming out of retirement. Posey (stats) also wasted little time making up his mind after the C’s hoops el jeffe contacted him. I’d spent a lot of my day Saturday reading internet reports that Posey, who’s been a free agent for months, was likely to re-sign with Miami or opt to go play with Jason Kidd in New Jersey. That changed the second Ainge had an opening and offered a 2-year deal for just under the veteran’s minimum to fill it.
We are now living in a basketball twilight zone. A valuable, and coveted, role player chose to play for the once woeful Celtics when he had every opportunity to play with Dwayne Wade and Shaq.
Where are you Danny Vision doubters now?

Wow. One of the top defenders in the league, can hit the occasional J and signed for two years for less than veteran minimum. Way to go Danny.
