Report: Celtics' acquisition of Lee involved three teams
The Boston Celtics acquired free-agent shooting guard Courtney Lee on Friday in a sign-and-trade deal with the Houston Rockets that also included the Portland Trail Blazers, ESPN.com reported.
The Celtics' acquisition of Lee had been reported Thursday, but a few details have been added since then.

The Celtics sent JaJuan Johnson, E'Twaun Moore, Sean Williams and a second-round pick to Houston. Boston also sent Sasha Pavlovic and another second-round pick to Portland, ESPN.com reported.
The addition of the Blazers in the transaction allowed the Celtics to give Lee a higher salary.
