It could be the shirt but he looks pretty slim here. Good news.

I don't doubt for a second that Sullinger will come into a contract year in better shape. He did the same thing going into the draft. I'm more concerned he can't keep the weight off after he gets paid.

I'm assume they will put weight clause in his contract like they did with Big Baby.

There is no doubt that Sully is going to come in shape next season and have a great year, whether he is on the C's or not.  I just feel bad for the team that locks him into a multi year contract because once he gets paid, the weight will go back on....

put a weight clause, give him a good contract and trade him away when his value is high  ;D

call me a pessimist, but I don't believe his weight loss will be long term

He does look a bit slimmer and prob ha gained some stamina. Still "slow twitch".  I don't think he will ever add much explosivenss

Danny is watching and I think is going to trade him when the opportunity presents.   Sully , Turner and possibly Young are players on their way out for a SF/PF

Pretty soon he'll be able to do high flying frog splashes off the top rope like Juventud Guerrera.

Both these were really funny.  One wasn't intentional I don't think but still.

Sully looks set for s big year. I wouldn't trade him. He can be one of our 3 best players if he finally smartened up on his weight.

Think you are spot on about the guys we are trying to move!

Sully will be very good, will be a huge mistake to give up on him right now.

On the contrary, it would be a mistake not to give up on him.

In his 3 seasons in the league, he's had back issues and conditioning issues which have affected his performance on the court.

Why on earth should I believe that year 4 is going to be any different?

So the right thing to do is to trade players when their value is at the lowest?
Are you desperate to get an empty spot in the roster?
Well at least we can keep Pressey, that's the only positive point I can see.
