In an interview with his hometown radio station, Courtney Lee talks about how tough it is to stay positive at 3-40: "It’s the only thing we can do keep from going insane. To try and find ways to stay positive and work everyday. To realize there is a light at the end of the tunnel." Still, he says, he likes the opportunity he has in New Jersey. "I get to showcase my abilities a lot more," he added.

LOL/"I get to showcase my abilities a lot more," he says…
Or lack thereof.

Showcase your abilities to what? Aren’t you committed to staying in New Jersey? Trade him in the Amare deal.

Lee is a non factor. He’s not shutting is man down defensively and on offense he is one of the worst players on the team.

What has courtney done since being traded?
Showcasing his lack of sweat?
Funny you never see him in post game interviews

OT: What was the second part of the Marcus Williams trade? I keep seeing future second rounders and a delaying of the first round pick. Does anyone have specifics? Which future seconds are we getting and what is the protection for each year?

I like Lee. I would keep him over CDR in a heartbeat.

Put CLEE in the deal with Yi and the 2ndrounder + Hayes or Simmons for Amare. Have CDR start to play some point with Dooling so that we might give D.Harris the chance to see if he can play the off Guard Spot before Wall actually gets here.

Why are we trading Hayes? when he’s the only guy knocking down shots perfect role player for your bench.
by mikee21 on Jan 26, 2010 6:23 PM EST reply actions
Lee just really isn’t that good. And Hayes is only 17% from 3 thus far…

"I get to showcase my abilities a lot more," ????
when in this long and frightful season has he shown anything?

This guy would do well with a real offensive threat on the team, otherwise he’s just another of the Nets many role players with no leader.

I’d like to think the Nets have their fair share of legitimate rotation players on the roster, but just lack star power. Given how bad the team is doing, though, even that is in question. It will be interesting to see how long the players on this team last in the NBA.

He’s a role player who is good on defense and plays within his role well (with the exception of hitting 3s). However, he has almost never played outside of the role, making him a non factor, and i have not seen any development in him through the course of the season.

I’m beggining to think C Lee might be a head case similar to J Boone.
We need players to-just play-like Brook does. Players that get down on themselves on every play worry themselves out of the NBA.
Think about when CDR and Brook are angry. Brook gets mad Yi, and not himself. And CDR gets mad at the team, not himself.

he’d be good on a team with a lot of talent..he’s just a role player..make a few shots a game…..he’s just not an all star..

@djheavyduty what do you mean? he did the post game for our first win. i only remember that cuz of the way he said everything.
people have been saying he was going to be a role player in this league since day 1. i think there was a bit of hype that happened when the magic made that finals run. im not saying he didn’t do well but he doesn’t do that every night.

Can you imagine going from the finals and the eastern conference champs to this mess…. from Van Gundy to Kiki…. from Super Dwight man to Yi….. ouch. What did I do wrong to deserve this? The funny thing about bad teams is they can make bad players look good and good players look bad. Lee is the latter. On a good team, he is a rising assett. Now, he may be a chip for a real PF called Amare. Amore!

I think C. Lee has been worse than Antonie Wright.
by biggie on Jan 26, 2010 8:15 PM EST reply actions
lee plays solid D and he doesn’t get any shots in this system or his stats would be much better
by Njnetsfan on Jan 26, 2010 8:24 PM EST reply actions
To Larry Brown…..Like I said…He can’t play hard or he will hurt his hamstring…I knew that this would happen….Trade him for Ryan ?…Do you mean CLee ????
by NetFan48 on Jan 26, 2010 9:35 PM EST reply actions
Lee will end up on the list of guys I like to forget were Nets… right between the Z-Man, Zoran, and My Giant, Gheorghe.
@ Larry Brown
Where were you a week ago? I was going nuts calling for C Lee and expirings to the Magic for Carter… word is they’re looking to trade him and they loved Lee so much they had to get the owner’s personal ok for the trade and wouldn’t give him up w/o us giving Andersen.
C LEE for CARTER, C LEE FOR CARTER, C LEE FOR CARTER!

I kinda hope Rod Thorn was high when he countered the Reddick, Alston, & Battie for Carter deal. Voluntary intoxication is an affirmative defense for intentional crimes.
by Paul B on Jan 26, 2010 9:39 PM EST reply actions
Lee and Yi and Brook and expirings and both of our # 1,s for Dwight Howard..Then we get Rubio and Lebron…..
by NetFan48 on Jan 26, 2010 11:00 PM EST reply actions
Can we give them back Lee for Carter and Anderson.
by Seeker on Jan 26, 2010 11:26 PM EST reply actions
@ netsfan
I wouldn’t touch that deal. Lopez is an All-Star in the making and we’re going to get a top 4 pick in a strong draft year (or so I am told by everyone).
@ Larry Brown & Seeker
I actually think the Magic would consider Lee and expirings for Carter. Maybe we’d need to throw in a future 2nd rd pick.
They wouldn’t give back Andersen I don’t think.
