Lee, who did not play for the third time in the last four games Wednesday, said he's okay with the decision of coach Steve Kerr not to play him, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. "I am never going to put myself ahead of the team," Lee said. "We're winning, and that's all that matters."

But the Warriors are going small more often and Kerr needs bodies who can defend the three-point line. If a big man is needed, Marreese Speights, who can space the floor with his outside shooting, is a better fit.
