PrintCourtney Lee says that the Nets young backcourt could be "a good tool to draw in one of those frree agent players," but he adds that's not the main reason he and Devin Harris should continue improving as individuals and as a team. "Ultimately we just got to take care of the players that's here and continue to grow it," he says. The second year pro once again talked about the highs (Magic) and lows (Nets) he's experienced in his career so far.
Backcourt mate Chris Quinn has a different perspective. He missed the Heat's championship run but was around for their disastrous 15-67 season two years ago, playing in 60 games and averaging 7.8 points and 3.0 assists. So he knows futility and frustration. He's also the answer to a trivia question: who finished second to LeBron James in the Mr. Ohio Basketball voting in 2002?

Lol I never really thought about it
but Lee’s gone from a team in the NBA finals to possibly the worst team in NBA history…talk about a drop off.
"We have a plan, and our plan, I like our plan'
it's Omar's world, we're just livin in it.
I'm impressed with his answer.
From the finals to the lottery in just a year would be tough for any competitive athlete. As a second year guy though, the answer he gave was mature, diplomatic and positive. ANY person that can take a crap situation and use it as a “learning experience” to better themselves is a class act.
Question I wish they asked Courtney.
Should we draft Wall or Turner? LOL
Drafting one of these guys would make him or Harris expendable, or subs.
What is Lee talking about? Maybe part of their problem is that they do not know how bad they really are! Harris and Lee are not exactly Stockton and Malone or Jordan and Pippen. I would think that one if not both of them will be gone next year: Wouldn’t a backcourt of Wall and Joe Johnson be a lot better? Get Wall and sign and trade Johnson for Harris, Yi and everyone else not named Brook, Terence, Chris or Kris.
