For the minimum, yes! I would like to see what he can do next to Horford.

Hopefully, like Gerald Green, he has been humbled and is ready to grow up and be a professional.

Now why on Earth would we want to bring back a lazy out of shape player who couldn't stay on the floor with us, and did no better after he left. Like TLC said... "No, I don't want no scrub".

Yes I would. He'd be very nice off the bench for us. I don't think he'd be able to stomach coming back though, he has never seemed like the type to put his ego to one side especially in such a big way.

He'd be good big insurance whilst Zizic develops though

Yes I will be on 100% on board to this, provided he passes the Point Guard work out.  ;D ;D ;D

His tits are too big to play.
Btw the only time I remember him play in the last year is that Šarić block on him.
He tried to dunk in the game, lol.

Nah, I'd rather use the roster spot on an actual NBA player. If we're gonna waste a roster spot all year on an ex-Celtic that can't really play anymore, I'd rather just keep Pierce around
I'm bitter.

I think this is an absurd proposition.   He basically quit on his team the last time he was here.   They had a chance to get him at the deadline when he would have been cheap and they passed.   This ship has sailed, the guys lacks the discipline to be a pro.

If the past is any indication, probably rebound, miss threes and gain weight and get out of shape.

No team has signed him thus far, why would we?   Anything he brings in boards is negated by his other habits and lack of shooting skill.

I don't CBS or Ainge would be able to stomach him.   The guy is Mel Turpin 2.0

Don't you think that Ainge has been trying to get more position less and athletic guys?   Do you think that could be a trend that Sluginger would buck?

Beggars can't be choosers.

Right now we need bigs that can rebound, and score a little. Skill wise Sully isn't a bad player, it's always been a matter of conditioning for him. I always liked Sully for short minutes, off the bench. He immediately gains control of the boards if nothing else.

For the minimum? If we have room, and few other choices? Heck yeah.

I would love to have Sully back if he were in good shape.
