I sometimes grow tired of clutchfans overvaluing our players. But this is one time I agree. We better get a lot back for Lee. What he does on the court is more valuable than what he gets credit for. His game doesn't get the credit it deserves and because of that he will never get Joe Johnson or Rudy Gay money but he contributes more to winning than they do.
I tell you what happened. Morey put all bets on Howard. Took offers off for Bogut and such. Now he's scrambling for a last min trade while takers already gone. And he's too cheap and smart to do a deal where he doesn't get more value on the return. So we are looking at some small tweaks like 09ers for picks. Maybe Lee if the price is right, but I don't see it.
Sam Amick @sam_amick Close Two off-shoots tidbits: Clippers were in extensive talks with Houston about Courtney Lee to have him fill the role that now belongs to Young
So glad this didn't happened. Would have hated to see Courtney Lee in a Clippers uniform. Bunch of douchebags over there.
Courtney Lee is a starter quality 2. I'm totally content with a Lowry Lee backcourt. I want to keep Parsons and Patterson. The only trade that would have impressed me would be for Howard.
