Sullinger has been the team's best rebounder and is among the league's best rebounders so that's kind of hard to just let go of, but at the same time, his scoring has been inconsistent. His defense has been surprisingly efficient. That does come from playing next to Amir Johnson but Sully has shown more effort in that area.

I'm between the "Let's wait and see" and "At the right price" options. I'm definitely not going to break bank to keep him but I wouldn't be angry if he's signed on around the same price as IT, Bradley, and Crowder are.

I like Sully .  But like Big Al ...... To think he is part of a deal for a franchise player .

I think he'll be part of a deal that brings a star or potiental star to the team

no. please no

Don't pickup team option on Amir

sign Zeller to a 4 year 8 million a year deal

So our frontcourt situation will look like

Zeller, KO, Jerebko, Mickey

Draft one legit PF/C prospects or two with good potential

"NO NO NO NO! He's taking minutes from my BAE Olynyk, can't have that!!"

no.

Sullinger is an undersized center that has limited offensive game.   He is near antoine walkering it out form the 3 pt line.

That hasn't been the case this year. At all.

I'm voting yes.  I actually think Sully signs an offer sheet elsewhere and Danny matches.  Not a voting option, so I went with "improved play", although that doesn't really mesh with my opinion perfectly.

I agree.

The same trepidation that was there with Teams when he was drafted will still be there. No one will give him a huge enough offer to have Danny not match.

That also could be why he may not be included in a trade before the deadline. Danny won't just give him away.

it's not about taking 8.  What is the big diff if you take 7 but make 2 or take 1 but make 5

Sullinger takes 5 makes 1. Take 4 makes 1.  etc.

He doesn't understand his limitations and thinks he can make it when he can't even when wide open.   

That is not smart . His FG percentage for a pf that plays as many min as he does is bad. Prob one of the worse in the league

IMO Sully's tweener status is a problem. He's not really a center, and not really a power forward. Limiting him to a bench role on a true contending team.

Team friendly contract or trade him.

If Sully can be a perennial all-star that leads our team deep into the playoffs, then I will be pretty psyched.

My guess is he's gone. Not a guy to tie up money with.

Next year will not be a good year to sign free agents of any sort, Sully included. Not a deep talent pool, but lots and lots of teams with cap room.

By basic supply and demand: players will get overpaid.

I think Sully will get a rich offer and the C's won't match. We'll be fine without him.

There is a missing option here:

"No, some team will over pay and Boston will not match". 

I have no problems bringing him back if he's willing to sign in the $8m - $12m a year range, but I think some team is going to offer him more than he is worth, and Danny will not match.
