Unless, you are out of tune with sports, you should know by now that Courtney Lee has been traded from the Memphis Grizzlies.

On February 16, 2016, the Grizzlies traded Lee to the Charlotte Hornets in a three-team trade also involving the Miami Heat.[12]

I am sad to see Courtney go. We had a conversation a few weeks ago about how great the team was doing. He stated to me that he was excited about the ‘W’ the home team were bringing in.


It’s bitter-sweet. You get so use to see the players in action and watch how they interact, but also understand the business and politics of basketball.

Courtney took to IG after the news broke to say farewell to Grizz Nation:

I wish Courtney the best on his new journey with the Hornets.

Lee joins a Hornets team that is eighth in the Eastern Conference at 27-26. He is in his eighth NBA season and has established a reputation as a coveted “3-and-D guy,” who can knock down open 3-point shots and serve as a capable defender on the wing.

“We are excited to be adding a quality veteran wing player to our roster in Courtney Lee,” Hornets general manager Rich Cho said in a statement. “Courtney has proven to be a team defender, a consistent outside shooter and a solid scorer in our league for the past eight years. Particularly in terms of experience, he adds depth to our roster in a position of need for us and we expect him to fit in to our system and contribute right away.”
