      Re: Off season Rumors and Speculation

      I was re-thinking Courtney Lee today. I was writing him off as a Celtic, but... they already have Terry and Bradley at the two, Pierce and Green at the 3. And he wants to get paid good money, and how much can they offer him now? 5m? Could we not outbid BOS a little in that case and call it a day? He'd still be a good get off the bench.

        Yeah seriously, I think they've used up their 2nd rounders for the next 3 years, and they can't trade a first rounder for the next 4 years (due to Stepien rule).

          I rather pay Mayo that kind of money, is Lee better than DJ or even Lance?

            Are they over the cap? It really seems like they have to be, the timing of everything is really making it hard to tell. Celtics Bradley out for awhile so they do have a need, but I completely agree with your thoughts. I think the Pacers were probably hoping for that scenario with Lee or Mayo, but it sounds like Phoenix will go after Mayo now.

                You really think that Mayo is going to come to Indy for less than the Full MLE?

                  After spending most of Tuesday negotiating with Rockets and Lakers, Orlando has re-engaged Brooklyn today, league sources tell Y! Sports.

                    He's a solid all-rounder talent, but I think he duplicates what we already have in George Hill and Paul George a little too much. Supposedly we're after a scorer who can get his own shot - that's not Lee (nor Gerald Green for that matter).

                    If we do dump D. Jones though, I suppose we'll have an opening for another wing.

                    Courtney Lee is likely to get a contract similar to Mayo's, IMO.

                      Lee is better than DJ and Lance, and I think PHO is going to throw 8+ at Mayo. I think we could get Lee for 6, maybe 7 tops. I could see a 3 year 18-21 deal.

                          Ideally we'd get a creator, but I just don't see that happening. Second best thing is to make our bench better, and while Lee doesn't make it more versatile, he does make it higher quality.

                            I think $6-7M per-year for Courtney Lee would be a massive overpay. My guess is he'll get a little more than what we gave Dahntay Jones -- probably $3.5-4M per-year.

                              If that is the case, I'd rather go after Mayo....but in all honesty...I don't see the Pacers wanting to pay that much for either of them.

                                Lou Williams got the MLE C.Lee should get less than Lou, so MLE should be his max at most.
