James Posey has agreed to a four-year deal with the New Orleans Hornets, the Boston Celtics confirmed Wednesday.
The free agent agreed to the four-year, $25 million deal on Wednesday, ESPN.com reported.
Boston was reluctant to sign Posey to more than a two- or three-year deal because of future luxury tax concerns, ESPN reported.
Posey was a key player this year in leading the Celtics to win their first championship since 1986.
Posey also won a championship with the Miami Heat prior to joining the Celtics.
