Reggie Miller decided not to push through with his comeback to the NBA but the Boston Celtics, who wanted him, got another quality player in James Posey. The former member of the Miami Heat agreed to the terms of contract with the Celtics and will add more depth, talent and versatility to the roster.
“He’s a huge addition to our team. He’s got incredible versatility on both ends of the court,” Ainge said. “I think he’s got more offensive firepower than has been utilized in some of the places he’s been in the course of his career.”
Posey is a tough defender but his offensive game is pretty underrated too. His size and skills give him the versatility to play the 2 or the 3 spot, making him a valuable backup to Ray Allen and Paul Pierce. This is definitely a quality signing for the Celtics especially since their roster needs to improve their depth after the KG trade sent so many young talented players away.
