Nets Still In Chase For Posey
"We've been talking and talking for a while," Posey's agent, Mark Bartelstein, confirmed yesterday. "And while it's hard to get into specifics, yes, the Nets are in the running. I would think there will be a decision soon." Bartelstein was hoping for a decision last night, but said it might go into the weekend before Posey makes his choice. Though attracted to playing with Kidd, Posey, 6-foot-8, 30 years old, who spent his last two seasons in Miami, is considering offers from the Celtics and Cavaliers. The Nets are at a financial disadvantage and have the biannual exception, $1.8 million, unless they can work a sign-and-trade with the Heat.

The New Jersey Devils hockey team, one of the arena's main tenants, is leaving this fall for a new home in Newark. "The current arrangement remains in effect until the NJSEA designates a new sponsor," said Dave Messing, a Continental spokesman. "We have had a rewarding relationship with the arena and are happy to continue to have our name on it until a new sponsor takes over."

The lure of Jason Kidd is a strong reason why the Nets could land one of the more attractive remaining free agents, small forward James Posey.
The New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority said Tuesday it is hunting for a new firm to put its name on the Meadowlands arena after being informed by Continental Airlines that it has decided to opt out of its naming rights deal.
