[OFFICIAL] Courtney Lee traded to Celtics!

@SteveBHoop

Sorry if already posted. I was in the car.

 

does this mean we will keep martin? i have a feeling morey will make a splash before the trade deadline near all star weekend. And he wont be jumping into a pool

 

We are collecting all these non-guaranteed contracts to execute a large trade of which Martin will be the centerpiece. The man is as good as gone.

 

That makes more sense at least.

Probably a combination of what has been stated above. We get a pick, we get non-guaranteed contracts, and we may be positioning to temporarily go over the cap.

 

Here is the take from a Celtics fan forum cite:

They list two additional players in the trade for Lee.
- Sean Williams
- E'Twaun Moore

"There will likely be other players included besides Johnson to make the money work; most likely candidates are Sean Williams, and possibly E'Twaun Moore, both of whom have non-guaranteed deals. Also, we have no clue yet on the financial details, but for it to be a sign-and-trade, it has to be at least a three year deal (although the second and/or third seasons can be non-guaranteed,.)

Any way you slice it, this is pretty good news. Lee is the type of guy who you can plug into a lineup without any worries about "fit"; he's a very good shooter and a good defender, and he's still only 26 years old. It stinks that Ray signed in Miami, but this is a very nice consolation prize."

The Celtics are stacked.

 

at least he's 6-10...

 

We stacking for Bynum/ Dwight

 

More picks and non-guaranteed contracts. The big trade must becoming soon.

 

LOL CF is where I learned to be sarcastic

 

Anybody got a count of how many 1st and 2nd rounders we have?

 

Does adding more picks indicate that the rookies won't be dealt?

 

These players can't be included in a trade package for two months.

 

It only matters if Garnett and Pierce play at a high level. They won't win another ring if their stars don't play big.

Finalized Trade: Celtics will receive Courtney Lee in exchange for E'Twaun Moore, JaJuan Johnson, Sean Williams & a future 2nd round pick

 

We just recently cut 2 players after getting Jeremy Lin to do the Asik deal. This coming trade will effectively add 2 players to the roster since Lee's rights occupied a spot, IIRC. Who gets cut next?

Also, don't we still hold Goran's rights? Is there some sort of S&T coming on the PHX front? Perhaps a pick or two that they acquired from the Lakers is in play?

 

We get their entire 2011 Purdue Boilermaker Draft - Yay !!!!!!!!!!

Ughhhhhh !!

 

Marc J. Spears: Rockets get a 2nd round pick from Charlotte that Boston owned along with JaJuan Johnson,E'Twaun Moore and Sean Williams in Courtney Lee deal now

Great move Morey. Even more valuable than a late 1st rounder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Morie has been exploiting them holes all summer.

 

Rockets finally get Sean Williams.

Lord knows Clutchfans used to go wild for this kid when he was a Net.
