What if the S&T involves JJJ, Moore, and Sean Williams, with two 2nds?
Lee's new contract would begin at, what, up to $3.3 million? As much as $4 million? Is it likely that someone else with the MLE would trump that?
If there are eight teams interested in him, it's probable that somebody will offer the MLE.
Wouldn't Courtney Lee have to agree with the S&T before getting moved?
Lee's out hunting for a S and T. he's been quoted as saying that GM Morey loves acquiring draft picks. Houston has decided to move on from Lee and will get something for him. As the market for SGs who shoot well shrinks, Lee's value will go up.
There's an arms race with the good teams in the NBA right now. As all the good teams are now playing solid defense, shot making is at a premium. Lee's shooting percentages are a hair less than Ray Allen's 44/39% to Allen's 45/40%. at 6'5" 200 he has good size too. he's got Finals experience too. What's not to like about Courtney Lee?
