Hoopsworld: Rockets going after Posey?

[Cajun Celtic]

From Hoopsworld. Looks like the Rockets could offer Posey what he wants.

James Posey has been to Houston before, and one of the predominant rumors of the day has him pondering the chance to play there again. The Celtics would be happy to re-sign Posey, who was a crucial part of their championship equation, but they don't want to ink him to a long-term deal. Several other teams, including the Rockets, would like to lure him away from Boston and will give him the long-term deal he wants.

The Rockets were hoping to be players in the Corey Maggette market, but seem to have been beaten out by the San Antonio Spurs, or perhaps the Orlando Magic. Posey is no Maggette, but he's an outstanding defender and a capable scorer who could be a nice complement to Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady. More than anything, Posey is all about the intangibles. He gets the key loose ball or makes the big steal saving a game for his team.

Seems plausible. The team has some good players and they can offer him the deal he wants.

That said, even though Houston isn't exactly a bottom feeding team, I'd have to think if Posey wants to put himself in a situation to win that is not the ideal situation. Houston has proven nothing except that they choke in the playoffs, and the playoff road is tough enough in the West. IMO, Bartlestien just uses this for negotiations, but I'd still see him taking slightly less to go to any number of teams (C's, LA).
