James Posey's agent Mark Bartelstien confirmed today that his client is not going to exercise a $3.2 million option and will officially become an unrestricted free agent.

Free agency begins Tuesday. Players can sign with new teams starting on July 8. Posey is expected to get a lot of interest from a lot of teams, but will also be the Celtics' top priority.

The Celtics are trying to decide today whether or not to make a qualifying offer to guard Tony Allen. If the Celtics decline to give him an offer, he becomes an unrestricted free agent.

The "chickens" fly the coop real fast once their market value goes up, huh? Is 1 NBA championship enough for them? I just hope Boston's championship team isn't totally dismembered...

COME TO LA POSEY! Sorry, I've long wanted him to be a Laker, even before the playoffs began

Mark, any word on whether the Celtics made an offer to TA?
