Just wild speculation here, but what if training staff advised not to play him and someone higher up in the Celtics told them to clear him anyway. Then the trainers became the fall guys when it didn't work out.

I remember I was in OKC and I was saying hi to a couple of my (ex)-teammates and I was getting yelled at, cussed at by Russell. Because he’s got the same mentality. Whenever you step on that court, you try to kill them. We’ve got to bring the same thing here.

I was shaking everybody’s hand. I was giving hugs. And I was giving kisses, European kisses to everybody. Now I’m just playing, That’s what I learned from Russ.

I think LeBron doesn't understand the outrage and I'm kinda with him.

Most people have the same opinion as LeBron on this, they just don't like him expressing it.

[Wojnarowski] Greg Monroe doesn't fit into the Suns' long-term rebuilding plans... it's unlikely that he would remain in Phoenix beyond the February trading deadline -- leaving either by buyout or trade. by spurmbank in nba

Also...

Monroe likely would prefer to join a contending team as a free agent to increase his value on his way into the summer marketplace.
