Posey signs with Hornets: James Posey, a 6-foot-8 forward who last season helped the Boston Celtics win their first championship since 1986, agreed Wednesday to a four-year, $25 million contract with New Orleans, said his agent, Mark Bartelstein. (Updated 07/16/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Posey also was part of the Miami Heat's championship squad in 2005-06. His record of playing a prominent reserve role on title-winning squads made him a top free-agent target for the Hornets, who are coming off their best season in franchise history and looking to contend for a first championship of their own. He averaged 7.7 points, 5.0 rpg and 1.3 apg in 71 games with Boston last season. His numbers have been strikingly similar over each of his last three seasons and Fantasy owners should expect no more than that in 2008-09. He'll be waiver wire fodder in most Fantasy hoops leagues and should not be drafted in most cases despite his intangibles. (Updated 07/16/2008).
