The Boston Celtics acquired Courtney Lee Thursday afternoon in a sign-and-trade deal that sent JaJuan Johnson to the Houston Rockets to join Jeremy Lin. Since Lee was seeking $5 million in salary, the Celtics had to convince the Rockets to take a package of draft picks along with second-year forward Johnson in return for him. The deal was first reported by Yahoo! Sports.
