Courtney Lee this weekend told the media that he turned down more money with other offers in order to sign with the Boston Celtics. Partly due to his friendship with Rajon Rondo, but mostly because he believes in the culture of winning that the Celtics have shown year in and year out for decades.
The guard came to Boston from Houston after a sign-and-trade deal. He said Sunday that “the expectations every year for this team is to win big and that’s one thing I want to do is win big.”
Lee says his friendship with Rajon Rondo played a large role in the move to Boston.
The Celtics needed to free up more money to sign Lee and wound up making a three-team deal with Portland in the mix.
