Why Paul Lee wants to leave Rain or Shine
Why Paul Lee wants to leave Rain or Shine
Trade rumors are often circulating in the media. Every day, a new article gets published about a player who is so-called being traded to another team. But when this so-called player is unarguably the team's best player and is requesting the trade himself, it creates a strange situation that most fans couldn't fully comprehend.
The lingering question knocks on the door like an impatient visitor - WHY? Assuming that this franchise player was already offered a max contract by his team, what could be the foremost reason behind his sudden change of heart? It just doesn't make sense.
When the news spread about Paul Lee's desire to leave the Rain or Shine franchise, it depicted a picture that could be comparable to the nuclear bombs that were dropped in Hiroshima and Nagasaki decades ago. People were running in circles, as they tried to avoid the inevitable incident.
Despite Coach Yeng's seemingly calm state during interviews, you could (almost) hear the desperation in his voice about wanting Paul Lee to stay with his team. You can't blame him, though. After all, Paul Lee's contribution to the team has ranged from playmaking to stop-and-pop threes up to buzzer beater shots. Which brings us back to the query – why does he want to depart from the Rain or Shine franchise?
But before we judge Paul Lee about his decision, let's opt to give him the benefit of the doubt and try to decipher his real intentions. While he is currently busy representing the country in the FIBA World Cup tournament, here is a breakdown of possible reasons on why he wants to do this trade in the first place.
4. Playing Time
Under Coach Yeng's tutelage, it is safe to say Paul Lee isn't being maximized at his highest potential. While it may be true that he was mainly responsible for Paul Lee's emergence in the league, it feels like we're only scratching the surface of his talent.
This is because Coach Yeng's system specializes in a rotation that utilizes

    The New York Jets have a rookie middle linebacker turning heads and getting everyone’s attention. Before you rush off to the comment section to give your opinion on Darron Lee’s late signing, allow me to have your attention for a few more sentences. Since the first day of camp, Jordan Jenkins has had the Gang Green coaching staff talking enough that he has already been written in as the week one starter at outside linebacker. While Lee is behind both Erin Henderson and David Harris at this point for the inside linebacker spot, 2014 seventh round pick, Trevor Reilly is the only man who has really given Jenkins any competition.…

    “With the tenth pick in the 2010 NBA draft, the Indiana Pacers select Paul George of Fresno State University” That was the start of his career in the National Basketball Association, a career filled with uncertainty and now on the cusp of superstardom. But can you imagine, the player who is supposed to be the next coming of Reggie Miller or Scottie Pippen suddenly leave the town and team that gave him the opportunity to blossom into a star and gave him unwavering loyalty, just to have a shot to play with his childhood idol, Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers? That might be the next chapter of his story as a player in the National Basketball Association.…

    This is an interesting year in the NBA because there are plenty of notable names that will be free agents at the end of the season. The summer could bring on the ultimate game of musical chairs for players, swapping teams for more lucrative contracts and a better chance at winning a championship. Of all the free agents, LeBron James has probably been the most talked about when it comes to 2010 restricted free agency. There has been plenty of speculation about the teams he will go to next year if he decides to leave Cleveland. After a loss tonight in game 6 of the Eastern Conference semi-finals, the talk has already begun to escalate as LeBron’s decision becomes more imminent. For that reason I choose to evaluate LeBron’s post-game press conference from the game 6 loss to the Celtics. It is not the typical press conference because of the aforementioned free agency. Moreover, it is an opportunity for him to talk to the fans of Cleveland, and almost apologize for not living up to this year’s expectations. It is also different from the typical press conference because there is some persuading on James’ part. Convincing the reporters in the room, and consequently the people paying attention to the situation, that he has not given any thought to what team he going sign with in the off season.…

    However, Gallinari is performing well for the Nuggets this season producing 16.8 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. But, he has a player option after this season not to re-sign with the team and become a free agent to explore the market. With that in mind, the Denver Nuggets might consider of trading him if good trade offers is presented rather than let him go for nothing.…

    I realize I only "met" him over Skype, but all of his interactions with me have been considerate, uplifting, and overtly hospitable from the moment we began interacting. While the preponderance of people I meet through my interviews are humble and benevolent, Lee took such a genuine interest in me that reviewing this interview was an especially sweet experience. Having music in common probably established a quick and mutual foundation for our exchanges, and the fact that he actively listened to my responses and questions is a quality that resonated with me on a profound level. Lee is an actor and professional with unrestricted depth, but the fact that his interactions with me were so authentic explains exactly why, in my opinion, he has had such success in this business, especially with recurrent roles. He doesn't go out of his way to network; some people have to make a conscious decision to do that until it becomes "second nature" in this business. But with Lee, it seems that he is able to seek and find connections with ease and relate to people on a sincere level. I would say that like me, he has an insatiable desire to know and understand the people with whom he comes in contact, and I, for one, find that refreshing. While I interviewed him and attempted to…

    Nobody wants to lose their job and nobody wants to see someone doing their job better than them. He just couldn’t accept the fact that he messed up and couldn’t face the real world. What would there be for him to do out there if he’s so used to being an agent? They needed to shed some light on real life issues. There’s a lot of angry people out in the world like Silva. Things don’t go your way and you’re ready to retaliate but in all reality it’s your fault why things went the way they did.…
