Quiet day today for the most part, although Hoopsworld has this little blurb on The Mongoose:
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.
Not much new there, but its something.
Also out there: We know about Doc’s son, Jeremiah, who just transferred to Indiana. Doc’s younger son, 15-year-old Austin, has already committed to Florida (where his sister plays volleyball). Apparently, it’s a big score for Billy Donovan:
“He really knows how to play,” Rivals.com recruiting analyst Jerry Meyer told Gatorbait.net. “He’s got a maturity level to his game that you don’t see in a lot of college players. He’s got the size and the skill to make all the plays and he’s a true combo guard that excels at both the point and shooting guard positions. He’s one of the best guards, if not the best guard, that I’ve seen in the 2011 class.”
New 7-footer on the market, Nenad Krstic. Would be a good backup. If Posey bolts, I say grab him, and re-sign House.
I don’t want any part of Krstic. He sucks. Believe me, I watched a lot of Nets games at school. Birdman or bust.
