Now they’ve brought in Charles Lee from the Boston Celtics to help turn things around.

Charles Lee’s Contract and Salary

While his exact salary is unknown, it’s likely around four million dollars per year based on what other first-time coaches like Adrian Griffin have received.

Charles Lee’s Net Worth

Currently, there are no estimates available online for Lee’s net worth. However, given his long career as an assistant coach since 2014 with teams like the Celtics, Milwaukee Bucks, and Atlanta Hawks—and before that at Bucknell—he’s probably done quite well financially.

Fans think he deserves every penny!
