Sully did win Player of The Week and had a low shooting % because they wanted him to work on his threes while in games.

Everyone has excuses, his shooting percentage would be fine if he could shoot better, period.  The Kyle Korver experiment failed.   I know Stevens said it would spread the floor and maybe they see him as a stretch four.   But I think the only thing stretching these days is his marks because he is up to 280 lbs.   Did they tell him to work on that?   Beef up?   Give me a break.

Question for those who prefer not trading for Love: How good do you think this team will be next year without Love?
Terrible, which I don't think a lot of people realize yet.  But I think the concern is that they may mortgage their future for a guy who gets them to maybe 5th or 6th in the conference without a realistic chance of contending.  Granted we'd have to see what kind of a team Danny would be able to surround both him and Rondo with. 

I'm all for bringing him here, as long as they don't give away too much.  He's not going to be a savior - but he would be a guy who can score at crunch time even when the other team plays good D. Right now we have no one who can do that.

I have trouble rooting for a Love trade without knowing the future, as I think
it would have to be Love and Lebron, Love and Melo, Love and Durant, etc...for the Celtics
to contend.

So, for the moment I prefer to be obsessed with giving up much less and getting
Dieng.
