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

[bbd24]

Dang, I think Ainge & Doc got the sale job done.

Congrats !

Straight stacked roster.

[esel1000]

To keep the excitement going dont forget that Doc is a family friend of Lee. Lee stated publicly he wanted to play here...  maybe hes willing to take that paycut to play for Doc? Speculation building

This could be tied to the end of the dwightmare. If Dwight goes to LA, Houston should be more able to work a sign and trade of Lee for the pupu platter propsects and a pick.

...or even a resigned Dooling or Sasha plus a pick.

All right everybody I expect lots of guesses as to how much we signed him for, and the trade it took to get him signed.

doubt its a trade he's probaby coming for the BAE on a deep playoff run and multi year rewarding deal the following year, if he does well which he should playing with Rondo

YUP! I was thinking that ever since news of DH to LA surfaced.

i think so if it were a trade scenario sources would have leaked info by now

Still doubting the kid, why would Courtney Lee not be following his "cousin" if the cousin begs for his attention this badly and frequently?

In that scenario the Celtics would probably only have the mini MLE to offer him in a year. I feel like a S&T is getting some serious attention. We'll see.

I'll take a stab:

Dooling S&T for $2,695,680
Sean Williams
Dooling's salary in cash
2013 MN 2nd round pick, and 2014 NJ 2nd round pick

for Lee, signed for $4,614,415 this season, and for three years, $14.88 mil total.

Lee just tweeted he will be signing in the next 48 hours. Didn't say to what team

I probably wouldn't follow a teenager either if I were a public figure, cousin or not. I feel like getting a big sandwich from the deli! This is fun.

oh trust me I'll be the first to tell you the whole cousin thing is sketchy as hell. But for Lee to tweet that he hasnt signed yet, then say hes signing in the next 48 hours right after is much more than I expected to see

It's gotta be something like that, although I bet one of the picks is the OKC 2013 second rounder (from Charlotte).

My guess is that he has his A and B teams lined up. If Howard goes to LA, a S&T with Boston becomes a real possibility. If that doesn't materialize quickly enough, he'll sign with his B choice.
