Posey and House Updates

From ESPN, "James Posey, the Celtics' highest-priority unsigned veteran, is seeking a four-year contract, an NBA source said yesterday.

Posey, 31, is treating negotiations as if this could be his final contract and has been in talks with Detroit, the Lakers, New Orleans, Cleveland, and Washington. No team has been willing to offer a deal beyond three years."

and Eddie House
While prized free agent James Posey's situation remains unresolved, it looks as though Eddie House may have one foot out the Celtics door.

"Eddie's not going to sign for one year at the minimum," his agent, Mark Bartelstein, said yesterday. "There's no chance of that. He's got two or three offers on the table right now for more than that."

"I don't think people put the proper value on Eddie House," Bartelstein said. "Because he's not manufactured to specifications as a 1 or a 2, everyone in the business tends to overanalyze things. Eddie doesn't fit the preferred specifications. All he does is help win games." -- Boston Herald

I don't believe James Posey really deserves a four year deal, but we need to do, what we need to do to get him back. If we let him go then we let someone that can guard Chauncey Billups to Lebron James to Kobe Bryant go, that just is too much to give up.

I don't believe Eddie house back due to the fact we wont be able to sign him without dipping into our Mid Level Exception that we need to sign Posey. As much as I love Eddie, I just don't see him wearing green next year.
