Interesting little news bit about James Posey:
ZWire: Posey, 31, is expected to get the full mid-level exception - starting with $5.6 million in 2008-09 - for three years. Sources say the Cavs might have to extend it out four years in order to land Posey.
And, therein lies the problem. Most teams don’t want to give him a four-year contract, including Boston. The Cavs lived to regret giving four-year deals to Donyell Marshall and Damon Jones.
Agent: Posey near decision, Lakers not in mix, Posey to NO?
Posey wants Lakers, Lakers willing to go full MLE to land him?!
James Posey signs with Hornets
Posey unhappy with Celtics offer, Lakers still in the mix?
Posey back to Boston rumor? Agent says “nothing new”

Posey is demanding 4 years from Cleveland and Boston to go there. One would think if he was offered 4 years from anyone, he would have already agreed. Sounds like he already has a team he’d rather go to if its 3 years - which everyone is offering and its not one of those 2.
Doesn’t sound too favorable for the Lakers anymore =/
well give him 3 yrs and team option for the fourth yr… if lakers need him that badly… i wanted artest or maggette didnt get either one, slim chance of artest via trade but u never know.. if cavs wann ado us a favor and take him of c’s hands that be great.. 3 yr and 4 yr is team option is only way i would try and get him… if he no want that then bye…NO DEAL
