Posey Rumors

by Jeff Clark on Jul 10, 2008 5:48 PM EDT in Boston Celtics Rumors

James Posey is expected to announce that he'll re-sign with the Boston Celtics in the next 24 hours

I don't know anything about this source, so take it for what it is worth.

Update: Marc Spears reports otherwise

The agent for Celtics forward James Posey, Mark Bartelstein, said early Thursday evening that there was "nothing new" in regards to his client's free-agency situation.

So Posey’s “expected to announce”? Wow. I guess I can take that to the bank. My evening’s set now.

(Yeah, I wanted to get some sarcasm in ahead of Champzilla.)

That would be great, but a reliable source someone has heard of before might help me believe it a little more.

I’m not buying this, they didn’t mention anything on Comcast Sports Net.

If Posey’s announcement is that his wife is now pregnant, that would be cruel.

Who the devil is Bill Ingram?

Update: Marc Spears reports nothing new (from his agent – pretty reliable)

I looked this guy up. He is an NBA “expert” that writes for Hoopsworld.com.

I LOVE Bill Ingram. My favorite songs are “Find One Hundred Ways” and definitely “Baby, Come to Me.”
No, wait. James Ingram. My bad.

Isn’t he that comedian with the new sitcom where he plays the dad? They kept showing the previews during the finals. He does blue collar comedy along with Larry the Cable guy.

WE GOT POSEY BACK !!!

If I were to guess, people are speculating that he will re-sign because he may have somehow indicated this much to someone…

Bartelstein is an agent after every penny, would it be in his best interest to tell the truth? No, he would cloak it…

This makes sense, but may not be true…

Spoke with Bill – he said he heard from Posey’s agent who said he “expects” him to sign with the C’s tomorrow. Said it wasn’t 100% though.

I would think the Cavs would go after him hard though – he could be a big piece for them.

Seriously, this agent isn’t showing any cards. ESPN reported last night that Posey would probably make a decision within 24 hours ago, that was 22 hours ago.

But then when he was asked which way Posey may be leaning, he said he didn’t know. He knows, but he isn’t tipping his hand.

I spoke to a guy down the street. He says his cousin knows the best friend of the wife of Posey’s agent’s dry cleaner, and her nephew says authoritatively that Posey’s expected to announce his signing within the next 24 hours… and he’s ninety percent sure there’s at least a fifty-fifty chance of it happening, unless something unexpected develops. So I feel pretty confident.

My sandwich maker says that not only is Posey re-signing, but Reggie Miller will also be joining the Celts!

Seriously, isn’t this year the most fun you’ve had a s a C’s fan in a looooong time?
