    I say don't waive him. He's a GREAT presence and mentor on the team. Our guys look up to him.

    Are Wilson Chandler, Jared Dudley, Corey Maggette or John Salmons possibilities? I think the Clippers could use a wing player.

    Great job on research. I'd LOVE Wright, Miles or Allen.

    out of that list, i like wright, allen, miles and lee, probably in that order. if they sign wright, they should try to run a bit more because that guy really gets it going that way.

    i still think they'll roll with foye, williams and gomes unless they go on a losing streak. foye can be really inconsistent but we'll see. he's had an okay season

    Time to work Bledsoe into the rotation.

    Courtney Lee is extremely coveted, and Tony Allen is at the peak of his popularity in Memphis right now. The rest of the league is starting to take notice of what Boston fans have known for years, concerning this guys overall value to a team on multiple levels.

    Honestly, as much as Lee is coveted, he may not be untouchable. Houston wants to move Flynn, and a trade exception might be a nice piece to use as trade bait for another piece for their back court rotation behind Lowry. It's yet to be seen if they intend to bring Dragic back next season.

    Is Lee really that coveted? He hasn't done much since his stint with the Magic.

    Bledsoe+next years 1st or future 1st should be enough to get one of those SG/SF's.

    Bledsoe + a 1st does not get you Lee, why would the Rockets want more PG's?

    He's averaging almost 10 points, 2 rebounds and an assist off the bench in a little over 20 minutes a game this season. Pretty impressive for a guy who was essentially an afterthought when he was traded away for Vince Carter. I remember a lot of Magic fans up in arms when the franchise parted with Lee, particularly since he showed a lot of promise in his time there. I still feel like that 2009 Finals series would have been very different if that layup (or was it a tip-in?) by Lee had gone in.

    I may be overstating his value to the Rockets, but for a team lacking any real identity, I think he's one of few players on that roster who could have a foreseeable future with the team alongside Lowry and Budinger (I'd say Scola but he's getting up there in years).
