Lee can catch on with any team but Golden State and be eligible for this years playoffs.

Well, not Philly or Brooklyn.

Has there been a bigger bust in Celtics history? Or were expectations just too high?

There were expectations?

He was traded for the ossified remains of Gerald Wallace. I'd say there were practically no expectations for Lee when he arrived, and he met them.

Do you remember Vin Baker?

 

[Ale Xander]

Dominique Wilkins is also in this discussion.

David Lee is not.

Vin Baker still makes me sad. When he cleaned up and lost weight, he suddenly became a TERRIFIC player for the Celtics – for about a month he was absolutely unstoppable. Then, he started drinking again and just as quickly as it had started it was over. It was like hoops Flowers for Algernon.
