Coach Byron Scott said Saturday that James Posey will earn most of his minutes this year at the backup power forward spot, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune. "Obviously on offense we can spread people out, it's a little bit smaller, quicker and better defensively,'' Scott said. "You really have a few ballhandlers out there, and Posey can play against most any fours (power forwards) and they are going have to guard him. It gives us a good leader out there with Pose. He gets after guys defending them every single play. That is what I think is our best lineup so far.''

"Before we signed (free agent) James Posey, we had 12-to-1 odds to win the championship, which isn't bad. After we signed him, it went to 6 to 1. I will take any day to be one of the top six," Shinn said.

July 16, 2008
James Posey has agreed to a four-year deal with the Hornets worth an estimated $25 million, according to ESPN.com. The Celtics had been leery of offering Posey more than two years to return to Boston because of luxury-tax concerns.

July 15, 2008
James Posey has expressed desire to remain with the Celtics, as did Eddie House, according to the Boston Globe. Posey said, "Boston is my number one choice. I've stressed that to the organization and to everybody. At the same time, I'm still waiting. So we'll see what's going to happen."

July 13, 2008
The Boston Globe reported on Sunday night that forward James Posey's agent, Mark Bartelstien, said there could be "something" contract-wise for his client on Monday.

James Posey's agent, Mark Bartelstein, said he expects James Posey to sign a contract sometime in the next two days, but was unsure if that team would be the Celtics, according to the Boston Herald. Boston is willing to spend the full mid-level exception to retain him, according to the paper.

James Posey is the Boston Celtics top priority, according to the Boston Globe. The paper reported Boston general manager Danny Ainge as saying, "Posey will be a guy we'll be talking to right away. He's a top priority for us. Once we start there, we'll move toward other free agents and go from there."

June 30, 2008
As expected, James Posey is not going to exercise a $3.2 million option with Boston, and will officially become an unrestricted free agent, according to the Boston Globe.

June 26, 2008
James Posey is expected to opt out of his current contract by June 30, but he'd like to return to Boston. "Certainly he needs to listen to everyone, but he really hopes that (the Celtics) want him back as much as he wants to stay there," Mark Bartlestein informs the Boston Herald. "The bottom line is that we want to get it done. The thing (that impressed) Posey is that the fans in Boston are so educated, they understand why hes so valuable, and how his play shows with things that arent on the stat sheet."

May 26, 2008
The Boston bench contributed only 17 points in the Game 4 loss to the Pistons. James Posey scored 11 of the 17 points.

February 26, 2008
James Posey, who entered the game averaging 7.2 points an outing, hit four 3-pointers on his way to 17 points, his second straight outing with at least 15 points. Of course, Posey was in double-digits in only one of the previous nine games, so he will continue to be a player who puts up points only when the matchup is right.
