James Posey is a candidate to join Brad Stevens' staff with the Celtics. He played with the Celtics in 2007-08 during their championship run, but he's been out of the NBA since 2011. Posey wasn't much of a vocal leader in his 12-year career, so it's a little surprising to hear his name as an NBA assistant.

Updating an item from earlier, it now looks like the Knicks are no longer interested in free agent G/F James Posey. When asked about signing the veteran swing man on Tuesday, head coach Mike D'Antoni stated "I don't think we're pursuing that right now." Posey will look to latch on with a contender this season, and with the season starting soon, look for it to happen sooner rather than later.

The Knicks are still in contact with veteran James Posey. Posey was waived using the amnesty clause and is now an unrestricted free agent. The Celtics have no interest in bringing back the key reserve from the 2008 championship team, but the Knicks still like him to build depth on the roster. He should find a new home shortly, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see it be in New York.

An NBA executive has said that James Posey has gone through amnesty waivers unclaimed and is now free to sign with any team. Posey has some big game experience and it's already been rumored that the Celtics are looking at Posey as possible insurance if Jeff Green's medical issues don't go away.

The Pacers will use the amnesty provision on James Posey. Posey had about $7 million remaining on the last season on his deal, but he'll now be waived. If unclaimed, the veteran will be an unrestricted free agent. He will have no fantasy value regardless of where he lands.

The Pacers have informed James Posey not to report to training camp, as he's not part of their future plans. Posey provides a good example of a bad, over-long contract, as he's still owed $7.6 million from the full-MLE deal the Hornets lavished on him in 2008. It does not sound like Indiana is buying him out, they're just shelving him.
