The comparison of their game has some depth though. Posey has the capacity to disappear for stretches at a time if games are inconsequential. There were periods with the Grizzlies and Heat where you would barely register that he was with the team at all. That said though, I'm sure the Hornets will stay in contention and that is all Posey seems to need to actually make an effort. First off: Horry was more talented.

It's a ludicrous overpayment for Posey's play, especially at his age. Check out Hollinger's article on the sgning. The odds are definitely against good value for the Hornets. If I were a Boston fan, I'd be happy my team didn't match the offer. Just like last season when, as a Utah fan, I was elated that the Jazz didn't go the extra mile for a declining Mo Pete. Conceivably, in just over a years' time, the Hornets will have two old wings with a couple of years at too much money left on their deals, and almost no game to speak of. Meanwhile, they'll be unable to sign extra help in an effort to encourage CP3 to stay.

Posey was instrumental in the Celtics championship run. He hit big shots, played tough D even on the other teams best player and really just had a presence when he was in the game. He wasn't even trying to hit the Celtics in the head in terms of asking for an outrageous salary either. Wow They will regret letting a glue guy like that get away. On the other hand the Hornets know they are close and JP puts them a little closer. His defensive presence, toughness, and attitiude is really going to help that young team. Now the Lakers should counter by getting Ron Ron to help him take some of the pressure off the soon to be 30 years old Kobe Bryant. Fellas can I get an AMEN.
