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

[AB_Celtic]

I can't wait until trade deadline time.  Then we can trade Bass, Lee & Sullinger for Josh Smith!

(Waits for rocks to be thrown)

We lose that trade haha.

Wow, looks like I should be glad I've been at work this whole time.  Caught a glimpse of the happenings while I was at break (AROUND 6-ISH).

Doesn't look like I missed much, other than the roller coaster ride of tweets and rumors.

Yikes, sounds like David West part 2.

But isn't it different because Lee actually wants to sign with us?

Anyway TPs all around when the boss gets off my back *and when it's actually confirmed*. This is as good as a Celtic win.

Deal for C. Lee brought back from dead. Portland steps in as 3rd team. Celts also sign and move Sasha Pavlovic (w/Moore, Johnson, Williams)

Sasha Pavlovic?  For What?

I'm guessing C's trying to up the money a little for Lee.  We're going to be right at the apron/hard cap if we use the BAE.  Maybe we don't?

add the great news of Courtney Lee coming to Boston to this quote from Dwight Howard's agent that came out tonite:

"The agent for Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard REFUTED reports that his client has decided he will sign an extension with the Los Angeles Lakers -- if traded to them."

plus schizo Bynum has already said he is not signing any extensions with another team if traded - though i would love to see the Lakers get back to the Finals only to find a very angry Boston Celtic team waiting on them ....... ok, ok - let's get back to the summer league.

Deal originally had NOrl and PHX to facilitate, but that did, indeed, blow up. That's why there was so much scrambling earlier.

[goCeltics]

Lee wanted a few more $$$?, with pavs in the deal , max salary lee can get in the first year is now

0.85+0.85+1.09+0.76=3.55*1.5+0.1 ~ 5.4 mill

yeah with pavs in the deal lee can get a starting salary of about 5.4 mill

good deal still i thinks.
