Maybe we are thinking he is being prima donna when he is actually being realistic of his abilities.
I wonder if his questioning of role was along these lines:
I'm not a true C and there has never been a big banger with me to play PF or C,
I'm not a franchise player yet I advertised as one, and
I'm not paid like Kobe, LeBron and the crew, so quit expecting me to be like those guys.
In those cases, he has a point and it is fun devil's advocate.

I guess the egg is on our faces for even letting him into that role. Players in this league would fall to their knees to be put in such a position. It is so hard to get playing time, and Andrea does not seem to understand that because he was brought up with the the team constantly conforming and changing to his style. Moves were made to make Andrea look good instead of the team.
At this point he feels he doesn't need to do anything to change his game or to try to put in more hustle for the team, the team must change to suit his abilities.
In reality all he is saying is "Look, I am not that good, and I don't like the pressure of this situation".
Next.
