This isn't entirely true by any stretch of the imagination. Lee made some pretty foul and even depressed comments about coming here long before we turned into the abomination we became.
And to add to that, Dwight and others said things they heard and Lee absolutely did not deny them or do anything to stop the rumors from running rampant, he actually did the exact opposite and fanned the flames.
But ill let you in on a little secret. NOONE wanted to be here last year. Even the ones that said they did like Kenyon Dooling hated every second of that season.
Absolutely, I can agree with this.
I think how they handled that empathy is more important, and Lee handled it as good as anyone on the team. Again, there is more then 1 example of others who handled it very differently.....like whiney bitches.
Lee didn't handle it well at all until the last month or two of the season. He just handled it better then some of the others that handled it horribly.
And I know you're mainly alluding to Terrence Williams and I will wholeheartedly agree with you there.
If you remember I wanted him gone after some of his comments and I was a huge fan of his in college.
I give everyone, including Lee the benefit of the doubt right now to an extent, but it doesn't mean I pretend things that happened and statements made never existed.
Even going into this season fresh, Lee seemed thrilled when he was traded, instead of just OK with it, or diplomatic. Again, I want to be clear here. Please stop expounding on what I am saying and stretching my words. I am not trying to make Lee out as a straight malcontent or a cancer, but he was not even neutral or just a little despaired, he was disgusted.
