The Warriors traded forward David Lee to the Boston Celtics in exchange for forward Gerald Wallace and guard Chris Babb, the team announced Monday morning. On behalf of the entire Golden State Warriors organization, we thank David Lee for his contributions both on and off the court over the last five seasons.

“We are excited to welcome David as a member of the Celtics family,” said President of Basketball Operations Danny Ainge. “His proven skill set and experience on a championship team will add valuable depth to our frontcourt and a veteran presence to our locker room.”

That means, no more free 2nd rounders after Dragic :)

Whether we like it or not, he plays some in that position... so, yes, technically a Center as well.

In our world, since he most likely will be a C in most situations.

Because he will have a much easier time being the big defending a 1-5 pick and roll than a 1-4, where we will most likely have Johnson picking up the opposing power forward?

Until we clear space by trading someone and getting a trade exception...

Wallace will actually help them in GS. he's probably happier their because he feels he has a better chance of winning a chip, plus he can help young guys like branes.

Amir has never really played center in his career. Lee has played like 30-40% of his career at center. Honestly all of our frontcourt players are pretty much interchangeable between PF and C for the good and the bad.

This is the most plausible explanation.
