G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman
Logic Is Absent Wherever Hate Is Present
Dude asked to be traded there hoping for more minutes. Now he totally out of their rotation too
"Coach [Brad Stevens] came to me and said we’re going to try and go small at the 4, which means [more playing time for] Kelly and Jonas," Lee said. "That’s why Sully has been out of the starting lineup. That was his theory on some changes he wanted to make after us losing a couple of games, so I told him while I disagree with it, I also told him he’s the coach and can choose to do that."
"I can either choose to be pissed off or I can choose to keep working hard, and I’m going to keep working hard," Lee said.
"Even last year I didn’t accept that, and last year was way different. It was more of an injury-based thing where I got injured to start the year and came back. This situation is a bit more frustrating, and by no means am I accepting of the situation, and that’s the first thing that I told Brad. He’s the coach, the one making the decisions. I also trust my teammates and want what’s best for the team. So we’re going to have to see how this plays out. The most important thing is making sure the Celtics get a W in the win column. We’ve been up and down as a team, so coach is trying to find some consistency."
Lee said that he hasn't pondered a trade request quite yet.
"We'll see moving forward how permanent this is," Lee said. "Obviously, I’m very confident I can help a team win. I hope that’s the Boston Celtics. So, no, I haven’t spoken about that. I haven’t really thought about that yet. Right now it’s about continuing to be ready, and if that was talked about it would be between my agent, the Celtics and other teams."

. I always kind of supported him since his Knicks days, so kind of confused to see a quality player not getting minutes. Maybe it's just a case of not being on the right team or maybe there's something about him we don't know?
