he's been a disaster considering the excitement about his signing...shouldn't be a surprise..no team he's been on has wanted him back...he had a good rookie year as far as playing for a contender and has developed bad habits on crap teams since...he's been soft on both sides of the ball and we were all dying to love this kid now he's among the less likable players on the team.
Might be the worst post I've ever read on CB, mostly because its just so ill-informed. "No team he was on wanted him back?" Where did you get that information? All of his NBA coaches have had nothing but good things to say about him. Is it his fault he was on really badly managed teams? ORL made a HUGE mistake breaking up that team that went to the finals. I'm not even going to comment on the cesspool that had been NJ Nets basketball during their final 5 yrs in NJ. Houston was the only team with any semblance of management and the only reason they withdrew the qualifying offer they originally extended to Courtney is because they were trying to free up cap to take back one of ORL's other bad contracts in a D12 trade.
As far as him not being "likable", please speak for yourself only. He's a hardworker, a team player, and a guy who has taken responsibility for his own rough start instead of blaming it on the "system" like some superstars do. He's also been one of our better defensive players all season - despite his offensive struggles. Not sure where the "soft" label is coming from. If he's soft, than Jason Terry must be wet tissue paper.
TP agreed
Where are you getting your information any team hes on has wanted him back? pretty sure actions speak louder than words...although id agree Orlando made a mistake trading him, but they didnt want him back over vince carter...fact not opinion.
ah yes the worst post youve ever seen on celicsblog! when daily I read jibberish about trading rondo for anderson varejao.
Im judging courtney lee off the hype machine that this very blog created when we signed him...if he didnt come with that attached he'd be likable in my eyes...but simply put hes been awful...for a guy who was suppose to make avery bradley expendable why are we crying and whining for ab to get healthy and turn our season around?
He is a soft player and been a non-factor and it wouldnt hurt my feelings to have him shipped out in a trade and if Jason Terry is so soft....uh tell me why again courtney lost the starting job to him?....glad you like him though and consider him a "superstar"
These arent spiteful feelings towards Courtney lee the person...just the player hes been for us...complete non factor.
