OT: Celtics acquire Courtney Lee via S&T

[Green Backpack]

Good pickup if true.. Lee could very well be their starting 2 despite Bradley getting more minutes maybe.

[sanity]

Lee is a perfect fit for them. He already has a lot of playoffs experience

[Homer Jay]

Lee's not a game changer. In fact he put up a 12.6 PER in 30 mins last year. Ouch. Bradley's probably going to get the lion's share of the minutes at the two for the Cs. So this is simply a depth maneuver.

Houston cranks up the tank notch just a little bit further now.

[Landomar]

That Bobcats 2nd rounder is good value for Houston, especially since they have a history of finding guys like Budinger and Parsons. Good old Morey, building value for his organization. The actual players they added from the Celtics are just cap ballast, although perhaps they'll get a nice surprise in training camp and find a useful guy in there (although probably not).

Lee is also a good fit for Boston. He should add some defense and three point shooting to help balance out their roster, as Rondo and Bradley are both non-shooters at perimeter spots.

[Coach Smiley]

Lee and Bradley = sick perimeter defense, I like what Ainge is doing

[IvanIV]

Great addition. Haha its hilarious that some people think the Heat are the only team in the east that are completely better than the Raptors. I can see them being a lock at the 2 spot. Ohh and they have Fab Melo as well who will have KG as his mentor which is perfect for him.

True, but Fab Melo won't be the difference vs. Heat. They needed a Chris Kaman or his like to make it harder for the Heat. We'll see what they can do. Darko may work really well there as well.

I agree - Indiana, Heat, Celts, Knicks and Brooklyn are all much better than us.

If Fab Melo is cool with having a huge douchebag as a mentor, then I guess it's perfect.

Darko should go to Miami. So should Carmelo Anthony when he gets run out of NY.

Another forward for the Rockets? What does that make now? 10? 11?
