That wouldn't surprise me. CoachBo wants to trade Sully for Love instead of waiting to see what kind of player Sully turns into.
Me neither. If the trade was just Sullinger for Love, I'd be on board, but he wants to trade more than that.
Because you arent getting a 25 year old PF who averages 25ppg and 12rpg for peanuts. You have to give up some assets if you want a star player. Sullinger is a nice piece and I think he will have a long productive career in the NBA. but I doubt he sniff's those averages, or an all-star game.
Again, my concerns have nothing to do with Sullinger. I think the whole package is a bad deal for us.
Let me repeat what I've said a few weeks ago in another thread: Gotta love NBA teams built around a big man who can't defend and a PG who can't shoot. Red Auerbach would approve.
Well, you are assuming that if we trade for Love Ainge is done, which is not at all the case. If we trade Sully and a few picks for Love, then we will trade for a defensive center to complement him, and a legit sg to play alongside Rondo. Someone like Asik next to Love and someone like Martin or Gordon next to Rondo makes a lineup that Red would certainly approve of, unless you honestly believe that Heinson at power forward was a defensive force or that Cousy was a sharpshooter. Rondo is the closest thing to Cousy the league has seen since, and Love is like a modern day Heinson . Sure, Asik would be a far cry from Bill Russell, but there are thirty teams in the league nowadays and we are not going to win ten championships with one group, no one will.
