Yep, the guy is hungry, he's already a "celtics". A perfect fit. Can't wait to see his second part of the next season, I think he might be the most improve player at the end.

Welcome back Sully. We missed you big fella.

I like him.  He's like a better version of Glen Davis.  It's a shame his career is going to be plagued by constant back trouble or he might have been worthy of a lotto pick.

I do wonder if he'll be included in a trade package, though.  If we get in any serious trade discussions, Sully's name will probably come up as a potential throw-in.

I wouldn't trade Sully now.  I think there's a reasonable chance that his back holds up.  Maybe we get lucky and he really is "completely fixed," as he says.

Definitely agree.  If he's truly fixed then the gamble paid off. C's will need a little luck somewhere along the line.

Pretty doubtful.  If a serious back condition was an easy fix, he wouldn't have slipped to #21.   He fell for a reason... his back problems are the reason.  I'm just saying that if we ended up having serious trade discussions this offseason with someone, that team might ask for us to throw in Sully to sweeten the deal.  Despite the fact the smart money is on his career being severely hampered by a chronic back condition, there still is the glimmer of hope he contributes in spite of it.  We definitely couldn't use Sully as the main chip in a trade, though.  Nobody is giving up anything substantial for damanged goods.  He'd have to be like the Gerald Green in the KG for Big Al trade.  A total gamble that might put the trade over the top.

Iirc, Danny or Doc also corroborated Sullinger's 'statements about fixing his back for good.

Trading him now is too much of a gamble in my opinion.  It makes more sense to wait and see how he recovers.  If the back keeps giving him issues, and he can't stay on the court, you haven't lost much by paying a guy on his rookie contract.  On the other hand, if you use him as a throw in a bigger trade and he ends up staying healthy and being a solid contributor somewhere else, then you've just thrown him away too early.

Time is on our side in this one.  No reason to try to sell low.
