But I do feel like this bodes well for what Courtney Lee could get us thursday night. Blazers, Spurs, Hawks, Jazz could all use somebody like him.

They trading cause they want to try and get Lebron and PG together. If we had a large 1 year contract we could of got D'snitch too.
How about you just fire the cause of all this disfunction Phil Jackson and keep kp ?!! NBA is a star league

That's assuming they loved us in the first place
Why the basketball gods don't love us no more.
Jimmy apparently turning down Cleveland makes the Melo move seem imminent with how hard the lakers seem to be working to get PG13 right now 
We might be able to get Love and squeeze a pick out of Cleveland as well

To make a move with LA, we'd have had to give them an expiring for cap relief and eat that Mozgov monster. They're gonna try to bring in PG so that they can sign Lebron next offseason and go over the cap to keep George. We couldn't offer the expiring and I'm hoping if we do eat a salary for assets (something I've been supporting for two damned offseasons, so you know I'm with it); I'm hoping it's in a deal with Detroit or Portland for their lottery picks. Originally I was hoping to just get 20 from Portland; but LA just gave up a former top 3 pick who I'd say is worth a late lottery pick. That would make the price of absorbing a crap contract like Mozgov's (or Crabbe's or Turner's), a pick in that 12-18 range. If we're giving back a quality piece like Lee or O'Quinn, we might even be able to demand more depending on how the rest of the market is working.
Side note too: Butler turned down Cleveland. All signs point to PG going to LA. The trade market for a stud SF just dried up immediately. Hayward is still an option to teams with capspace, but once he signs, leftover squads might be more open to a Melo deal and I have to think Cleveland thinks about it long and hard now that their top choices aren't available.
