Houston and Boston are finalizing a deal that would send JaJuan Johnson and E'Twaun Moore to Rockets

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) - Several media outlets including Gold & Black Illustrated are reporting that the Boston Celtics are close to acquiring free-agent shooting guard Courtney Lee in a sign-and-trade deal with the Houston Rockets.

The proposed trade would include former Boilermakers JaJuan Johnson and E’Twaun Moore, both of which would head to Houston in the two team trade.

The Celtics are expected to send out JaJuan Johnson, E'Twaun Moore, Sean Williams and a second-round pick in exchange for Lee. Final terms of the trade have not yet been determined.

According Chris Forsberg of ESPNBoston.com, Johnson, Moore and Williams all were absent from the Celtics' summer league game in Las Vegas against the Sacramento Kings on Thursday.

Forsberg went on to say that Johnson was never seen in the arena, while Moore and Williams arrived with the team but eventually left the floor during warm-ups. Moore and Williams each shared a one-on-one conversation with Celtics coach Doc Rivers in the tunnel next to Boston's locker room before departing the arena.

Former Houston Rocket Carl Landry took to his twitter page earlier today when he heard about the trade and said, "Hey @ JaJuanJohnson # Houston Is A Great City! You're Going To love it...
