I think Boston would do him a solid and let him join a contender if a trade can't be found. Too bad the Mavs aren't that.

Oops, I mistyped. Celtics it is.
I'd see Lee as our Amare of this year-- dude could play 4/5 and grab some boards when Dirk is injured or when we go small. He doesn't block shots that well, but he could board. I don't think he'd be the worst guy to play next to Parsons when Parsons goes up to the 4 with Dirk out.
But yeah, it depends on a lot of things:
1) The Celtics have to waive him (trades would be awful for us)
2) He isn't traded-- looks like Celtics want to find a trade for him. A contender may actually offer them a trade.
3) We can then get him for cheap off waivers or after he clears waivers
4) He wants to play for us. He started getting upset when he lost his starting role. Would he get significant minutes? Would he be happy with the role here? If we grab him off waivers, he may not be happy but he'd have no choice. If he clears waivers, then he may not choose us unless he can be guaranteed time.
5) Rick wants him and would actually play a guy who hasn't been tremendous for a while. Evans is 6'10" and sucks in rebounds, but he can't score so he doesn't get playtime. Would Lee get more?
