I don't know how Ainge does it. How in the hells bells do you land an expiring for a Lee type contract ?

It's almost impossible. It's simply amazing. He's opening this roster up which is going to allow for some great future additions. Helluva move here.

What's so amazing about it?  Lee's a good player who is *slightly* overpaid relative to his worth.  He's having a great season.  Memphis needs a backup SG.  And, they're picking up a draft pick which - if we're still slogging along in a couple years, could well be in the 35-40 range. 

I like the trade, but let's not go overboard; it's the kind of return I'd expect for Courtney Lee (and Brandon Bass, ultimately).

agreed.  This was a solid deal for both teams.  Lee, when he plays like he has this season, is worth his deal and would be a great role player for a team like Memphis.  His situation is good for Memphis in that he's cost controlled for another 2 years when they should have all their horses completely healthy for title runs.

You just turned an overpaid contract into an expiring contract.

Go overboard.

It's not everyday you can pull that off.

Buzz in Reno here at D-League Showcase is that Courtney Lee-for-Jerryd Bayless trade expanding to include third team: Oklahoma City

Quote
Word is that OKC's Ryan Gomes will be added to trade to and goes to Boston ... with Celtics then expected to waive Gomes

Stein

Quote
Thunder involvement in this manner would create some extra luxury-tax wiggle room for OKC ... presumably to set them up for another trade

Stein's quotes about including Gomes don't make any sense to me.  I must be missing something,

Yea, why should either Boston or Memphis help OKC cut salary without getting something out of it? What do the thunder take back in return?

Salary move. Gomes will not even put on a jersey for Boston before he gets cut.

Why immediately cut him, if we've got an open roster spot?  Just as a courtesy to him and his agent, to maybe latch on to another team?

If OKC is involved, they must be sending a 2nd rounder to one of the two teams.

I would imagine they are sending the second rounder to Memphis and Boston keeps its pick.

i know nothing about the details of the gomes aspect of this trade, so let me give my opinion.  ;D

perhaps ainge is doing a bit of a favor for OKC, one that costs the celtics nothing but creates some good will that someday may be repaid.

worst case is the celtics get gomes. fine.

Yeah, that was my thinking. No need for Gomes to sit on our bench. At least give him an opportunity to sign with somebody else.

I'd rather use that roster spot on a 10-day D League guy.

This is the NBA and all about business not charity

OKC likely to give up a 2016 2nd or something to memphis. Which is almost as good as signing an undrafted player
