    Lee at the very best is just a good bench player and nothing more, so it's not a big loss.

    Does his tweet mean he knows he's not coming back?

    Lmao. You couldn't have followed any Rocket games last year. Lee was one of the most consistent players on the team. ESPECIALLY down the stretch

    Lets get this straight. I back this move if it leads to gaining other players. What I wont do is stab Courtney in the back and say he didnt matter in our wins. He certainly did matter to winning and how this team did last year. So he has to be properly replaced or a plan in place that makes sense to lose him.

    I don't get this move? Why not just keep the option to match? What do we gain by doing this?

    He knows the Rockets don't need him.

    Finally, a player leaves on good terms with the Rockets.

    Kevin Martin on a contract year, who will become a massive expiring contract in the offseason. Then we have an absolute stud named Jeremy Lamb.

    He deserves better anyway. He can contribute to a contender and not have to be stuck here.

    Lee's not necessarily a goner yet. I think Lee would fit really well next to Lin.

    These guys get paid millions. They really don't deserve anything.

    If this amounts to us letting Lamb start and get thrown in the fire a bit, then I am completely ok with it.

    And that was clearly a mistake as we had no chance to advance. Long term vs short term.

    Lee could start on many teams. This move is surprising. I sitll hold out hope we can resign him with his bird rights after all is said and done.

    Wasn't he one of the selling points to DH12?

    Morris was not worth making room for. Lamb is actually worth it.

    It sucks to lose an asset, but the gain is worth it. We need a center.
