Could not have gotten it any more correct OP Have the argument with a Laker friend all the time. Lee is a so much better player then Ariza. Very sad to see u go Courtney, thanks for the memories.
Exactly. I cannot understand why this sign & trade was made. Just an awful, awful trade for the Rockets. After losing out on Batum the Timberwolves are at least one other team that would have been interested in a wing player so surely someone like Courtney Lee would be able to fetch better value than a non-rotational PF for a team already stacked at the position. If the Dwight deal does go through Kevin Martin and Jeremy Lamb are almost certainly gone, and Lee would have been an excellent piece to fill the void, but instead we get back a mediocre PF?!
Dude has mad hops, loved watching him bounce around the court like the energizer bunny. I would have taken Dwight if it meant keeping CLee.
Really like him. He played hard when he was a rocket, and now, when the teamrebuilds, he is still willing to take part in a s & t with us. What can we ask more?
Dear Courtney your good looks will be missed. You made the overall appearance of this team much better when you were here.
Feeling so bad, the act of Lee and Camby just make think Dragic never considered himself to be a rocket.
Good luck and enjoy post-1st round playoff glory! Seriously though now, assuming we keep Kevin Martin, he is now the longest tenured Rocket......at 2 years Rebuilding sucks on a personal level sometimes

Good Luck to Lee in Boston. Loved watching him in Houston. Man, what NBA team doesn't have a Rocket these days? Glad the Celtics finally got one.
Great role player. I've been a Lee fan ever since he got here. Too bad the minutes didn't go round. Just goes to show, if you've got two players on the same level playing the same position, it just doesn't pan out, even if the two like each other. Two deep just doesn't work.
