Wojnarowski has also confirmed that Lee will finish up the postseason with Boston before transitioning into his new role. As such, the Celtics will avoid a repeat of the Damon Stoudamire situation from last season, where he left the team immediately after agreeing to become the new head coach of Georgia Tech.
