Bulpett: David Lee trade only makes sense if Celtics have more coming

SALT LAKE CITY -- The Celtics are about to make a trade for David Lee that will make them better.

And therein lies the problem -- if this is where the dealing stops.

We cautioned you in Tuesday’s Herald column that no Celtics move this summer should be viewed in a vacuum. Any change to the roster needs to be seen, as well, for other moves for which it sets the stage.

This one isn’t even done. According to league sources, the sides are still figuring out how best to structure the transaction to take advantage of the “War and Peace” tome that is the NBA collective bargaining agreement.
