by Chris Forsberg
OPTION SIGN-AND-TRADE + DRAFT PICKS
Here's the problem: Draft picks are worthless in trades (literally, they have $0 value). So the Celtics still have to find a way to match the numbers in any new deal that Lee inked. As a team under the luxury tax threshold, the Celtics do get a slight benefit and can accept up to 150 percent (plus $100,000) of outgoing salary. So let's hypothetically say Lee signs at $3 million next season, Boston still has to cobble together around $1.9 million in salary to ship out -- along with future draft picks -- to entice Houston to aid the deal.
OPTION SIGN-AND-TRADE + ROOKIES
Of the nine players officially under contract for next season, three are rookies who cannot immediately be dealt. Three others are starters (Rajon Rondo, Paul Pierce, Avery Bradley) that the Celtics would have no interest moving. What's left is a combination of summer leaguers JaJuan Johnson, E'Twaun Moore, and Sean Williams. All combined, the three provide $2.8 million in salary. But the question becomes...
1) Are the Celtics willing to part with any combination of them?
and 2) Would another want them considering their limited roles?
OPTION SIGN-AND-TRADE + RE-SIGN VETERANS
The Celtics could also facilitate a sign-and-trade by signing one of their remaining free agents, using their rights to the likes of Mickael Pietrus or Keyon Dooling to work a deal. Here's the hitch: Any sign-and-trade deal has to be a minimum of three seasons. That means that Lee would likely be taking less than market value and wouldn't have the opportunity for another payday for some time (though only the first year of a deal has to be guaranteed).
---> Summary: Lee suggested Monday that more than eight teams are interested in his services and you can't help but assume that some of those teams can offer either more money or a better package to entice Houston into a sign-and-trade (which clearly benefits both Houston and Lee). In the end, the Celtics have to hope that role, opportunity to win, and tradition are more important to Lee than salary. Boston busted out its biggest free agent chip Saturday when coach Doc Rivers met with Lee. Now the market might dictate how his decision plays out. |
