Rumor has it Courtney Lee isnt happy in NJ. If thats true, they should consider using him to move up in the draft. He wasnt great last year but he was hurt quite a bit. I think he still has a reputation as a solid 5th starter or SG off the bench. I think a few teams would be tempted by a Lee and 27 swap -- namely Houston at14 , Milwaukee at 15, Minnesota at 16, Chicago at 17, and Miami at 18. All those teams could use a young SG/SF who could step right in and play. With the higher pick, I think the Nets should target Avery Bradley. Guys who can already defend are no-brainer picks and the Nets have no backcourt depth. If Courtney Lee comes to rockets, He will be a solid SG come from the bench.
My bad, I should have known better than to spout off off-base things. Well, if he's getting 35 a night, what's he b****ing about? Shots?
His shot is mediocre, his handles are barely there, he's 10 pounds to light aka weak, and he's surprisingly un-athletic and he's not a good passer or rebounder. He's just not a very good player overall. The pecking order of Jersey's wing players goes as follows..... T-Will > CDR > Lee and the 2 guys ahead of him aren't that great either shows how good or not so good Lee is.
I'd trade for Courtney Lee but not a first round pick. I like the dude and think he is a pretty solid player but not worth taking a drop in the draft unless they throw in some serious cash or future pick considerations.
There's been lots of scrubby to mediocre players who have gotten PT on teams that went to the Finals.
JT a person who couldn't get off the bench for a mediocre Rockets team better than a reasonably productive starter for an NBA finals team?
