Fairly sure being buried won't hurt him.But he had the benefit of playing in Philly and establishing his value. Mickey won't have that here. Unless there's a big trade or rash of injuries, I can't even imagine a scenario where he ever even cracks the active roster.If Sullinger balloons up to 320, can you see him being benched as punishment and Mickey getting some minutes?He would still be behind Olynyk, Lee, Johnson, Zeller, and Jerekbo. I see him splitting time between occasional garbage minutes in the NBA and playing in the D League.

Is he a one year rental or not?
Boston has signed 33rd overall pick Jordan Mickey to a four-year, $5M deal, league sources tell RealGM. Ex-LSU PF gets two guaranteed years.https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/623168540540051458

Better to take that 4 year deal and guarantee some money than risk the restricted market after the season. Sounds to me he doesn't like where he landed and wants to avoid the D league if possible.The fact that there is a rough patch in negotiation tells me they want Mickey not only on the roster, but indeed to play THIS season. We do not have ANYONE on this roster who can intimidate in the post. Stevens is a Defense 1st coach. Do the math!!!No. Unless there are several major trades or a rash or injuries, Mickey will never play and/or likely spend the whole season in the D-League.That's the math. With Johnson, Lee, Sullinger, Olynyk, and Jerbenko he has no other prayer to crack the rotation and probably not even the active roster.

Does anyone know if the final two years are player or team options?
