Courtney Lee has agreed to sign a four-year deal worth $48 million with the New York Knicks, ESPN reported Saturday night. Lee's entire contract is guaranteed, according to ESPN's Ian Begley.
The 30-year-old journeyman guard was convinced to join the Knicks in part by newly-signed center Joakim Noah, who recruited Lee. The former Chicago Bulls big man joined New York on a four-year, $72 million deal Friday.
Lee has played for six teams during his eight-year career, most recently the Charlotte Hornets, averaging 9.6 points on 45.0 percent shooting as well as 2.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists and a steal over 600 games.
He spent the first half of the 2015-16 season with the Memphis Grizzlies before being traded to Charlotte on Feb. 16.
Between the Grizzlies and Hornets, Lee averaged 9.6 points in 79 games.
