He's trying to lure the C's to give up a 1st round pick for Lee, to then package it in a trade to the Magic, the domino effect of a potential Lee sign and trade, Howard goes to the Lakers.
Why would Lee talk about Morey liking picks and the C's should give up to get him ? Slip of tongue maybe, he's not smart kid.
And honestly I don't like Lee and certainly he's not worth to give up a first round pick.
