Courtney Lee signs with c's? (Latest Report Says It's gonna happen)

[Bombastic Jones]

Assuming the deal goes through:

Celtics trade:
Kendrick Perkins
Nate Robinson
MarShon Brooks
E'Twaun Moore
Sean Williams

Celtics receive:    
Jeff Green
Nenad Krstic
Fab Melo
Courtney Lee
Brooklyn 2014 2nd rounder

Is that right?

Not exactly, there is a 2nd rounder involved in the current Lee discussion

[Birdman]

Jet Lee

Lol, TP for that one.

None of it has paid any dividends just yet, so you could argue OKC has won the deal thus far. But that is a deal I'd be willing to make.

True. Brooks could become a scorer in the league.

Also, I read today that Perkins underwent his second surgery in a week. After surgery on a groin muscle last week, he had a wrist ligament repaired today.

Don't get me wrong. I like the deal.  Just saying that so far both the Thunder and Nets have received better return due to circumstance.

JaJuan shouldn't think he'll be able to get out of Houston easily. Word is Rockets like him and will keep him.

Don't know why Johnson is making such a fuss about Houston.

They drafted other young PFs worried about opportunity...

Same situation as Boston practically.

In Boston he's third or fourth on the depth chart.  In Houston he's seventh.  I'd say that's a pretty big difference.

In Boston he is two injuries away from playing a bit.  In Houston he is the black plague away from playing a bit.

3rd or 4th in the depth chart? What?

KG - Wilcox - Bass - Sullinger - Green ---------- Johnson

And we're not done signing players yet.

If you count power forwards and centers, he moves further down Houston's depth chart too.  

I would think a few of those guys you listed will play Center for us.  I would not advise playing a lineup with only four guys.

They may play Center, but they're PF in actuality. The point is, regardless of what big guy goes down, all those guys will be ahead of Johnson for playing time regardless of position.

And my point is that Houston has even more of those guys ahead of him.  Call them power forwards, call them centers, whatever.  You start two big guys at once.  He is two or three injuries from being in our rotation.

Pretend KG, Sullinger, and Bass all get injured.  Do you suggest we play Wilcox and Jeff Green 48 minutes each?  He's probably at least in the rotation as of today with only two injuries.

He was behind only kg and bass last season and didn't sniff the court...

I don't like this type of report.....

Courtney Lee deal may be in trouble. Sides trying to keep it alive.

I apologize....that IDIOT John Hollinger who I may just decide to 'unfollow' on twitter just retweeted this like 2 min ago

Now I see Hollinger as deleted it and I went to Steve Bulpett's timeline and see this

Steve Bulpett ‏@SteveBHoop
Some involved more comfortable Lee deal is happening. ... Apologies, but updates on a fluid situation are frustrating all around.

All is well  thankfully!

Yeah, but that's like 2 hours old right now. We're looking for new info.

Courtney Lee is the best player out of all of those names...Celtics win there

And if KG or Bass had been injured?  The only point I am trying to make is that Houston has more bodies in front of him. Call the unnecessary attack dogs off.  It is true, whether you want to admit it or not.

Moore agent Mark Bartelstein to Herald: "I feel bad for E'Twaun. He was playing great this summer."

so Boston gets lee...dumps moore and johnson (freeing up a roster spot) and still has the BAE to go after a decent big?

Wow Danny Ainge has had a hell of an offseason

let me correct my original thought... bass was the only player ahead of JJJ and he couldn't even earn minutes then!! What I'm saying, if he can't play well enough to play with one guy ahead... he won't be able to behind the guys in Houston, it doesn't matter how many are ahead!
