The most coveted of the Boston Celtics' free agents, a two-time NBA champion who played a major reserve role this past season, is drawing interest from the Cavaliers, Washington, New Orleans, Detroit, and the Lakers, but no one seems willing to offer the full mid-level exception ($5.5 million).

When asked about Posey and [free agent Eddie] House, agent Mark Bartelstein said in a text message: ‘‘Nothing new.'' Bartelstein, however, did say he hoped to get Posey signed in ‘‘the next day or so'' and said the Celtics are still in the mix. Bartelstein indicated the same sentiment to the Cleveland Plain Dealer Wednesday evening. Mary Schmitt Boyer, who wrote in Wednesday's editions that the Cavs had turned their focus to the local product, followed up with a blog entry this evening in which she wrote:

Posey, 31, is believed to be seeking the mid-level exception, which will be $5.585 million for the upcoming season. In addition to the Cavs, his suitors are believed to include the Celtics, Lakers, New Orleans, Washington and Houston — at least. Posey lives in Texas in the off-season. The San Antonio Spurs, who had been interested in Maggette, are another possibility.

Lol wow.

As I been sayin for the last year - I'd kill to have Posey. We need a tough nosed player like him.

Posey is old...Sasha has a way higher ceiling and already produced better IN LESS MINUTES last season.

Sasha is terrible, Posey is such a tough player that will help any team he plays on.

Sasha is terrible

Ha!...you are such a hater. Either that, or you don't watch Laker games. I bet it's a combination of both.

I am not a hater and I watch alot of Laker games,  he is WAY to inconsistent to get any props from me

LMAO@one of the best 3 point shooters in the league being "inconsistent"...We're talking abour Sasha from last year...9 points in 17 minutes, 44% on threes.

As you always say, stats don't mean shiet. Posey's productivity doesn't always show up on the boxscore.

Posey would never cry in a playoff game.

Posey>>>>Sasha

Posey hits BIG BIG Shots, cant deny that

Sasha is solid, but do u think hes gonna be a star or something? He avg 7 pts in 25ppg in the Conf Finals and 8 pts in 22 mins in the finals, thats not anything anyone else cant do with those minutes...
And the last 2 games of the finals he scored 7 total pts in 48 mins, thats an avg NBA player, he will def get better, but is he a MUST resign, dont u think Posey would help more down the stretch nik? Just a question..he was very consistent in the reg season, i know he scored in dbl digits several times this year tho...and he is young...tough choice

Sasha is younger and more in tune with the team...also is a part of our future. I wouldn't trade that away for a short term fix in Posey.

Again, Sasha is one of the better shooters in this league and is a good perimeter defender. I think some people tend to underestimate him because of his pesky attitude. Posey is old and is already on the downside of his career...Sasha will only get better. No way would I take Posey over Sasha...and there's a good chance we could lose Sasha and gain Posey, so don' think I'm saying this only cuz I'm a Laker fan...PeACe
