We could bring back Joel Freeland for rim protection...he already knows Stotts system

hm. Meyers replacement?

 

[Natebishop3]

Sullinger is seriously like Kevin Love lite. He can shoot it. He's a rebounding machine. I would love to have him.

 

[SwissBlazer]

He would also be my main target at the moment. And with Horford going to Boston, they probably won't retain him.

haven't I been saying this for a few daze now?

 

[Natebishop3]

If we pickup Turner/Sullinger I would call that a solid summer. Not a great one. Definitely not a spectacular one, but solid (assuming we retain our RFA guys).

 

[SwissBlazer]

I did too

 

[illmatic99]

He spent 86% of his time at C last year.

 

[Natebishop3]

I think he can play the four. He reminds me a lot of Kevin Love.

[Natebishop3]

I love his outlet passes.

Amazing reading the comments on that tweet. Lot's of Celtics fans resent Sullinger's weight. "They'd be paying you $20M if you could keep your fat @$$ in shape!!!!"

Dude is chubby. Prolly limits his effectiveness

maybe we have a better nutritionist? lol could we put a weight incentive clause in the contract?

I like sullinger. Wouod love to have him on the team. If we can get him with our remaining cap space without renouncung our rfas, neil will get kudos from me ob tbe signing.

Doesnt surprise me regarding boston fans. Its funny how fans can turn on a guy when he signs elsewhere even though your own team didnt make much of an effort to resign the guy.

that's the main "beef" Celts fans have, can be inconsistent but can add a lot also

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Or helps his effectiveness. Kevin love isnt as good in shape.

 

[Natebishop3]

Really good rebounder.

Solid passer. Great outlet passes.

Good outside shooter.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

So we are saying he is coming? I know you guys aren't but man you make it seem like that. Every team's fan with at least 8 MIL in cap space is probably thinking their team is getting this guy.

 

[SwissBlazer]

Our remaining cap space won't be enough for him. So who do we renounce in order to make room for him?

I'm saying I'd love to have him.

we have no clue! just hopin Neil might add a decent/solid player that would seem to fit well here

Meyers.

Meyers pretty please?

 

[KeepOnRollin]

I wouldn't say 8.5 to 10 (which is how much Woj's cap guy says we have) is going to be too little if this goes too much further. Teams' money is drying up pretty quick. Al Jefferson only got 10 MIL (but he probably jumped on an offer too soon) so it is possible.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

@Rastapopoulos what is the deal with Ekpe Udoh? Is he going to come back to the NBA this summer with all the money available? He might be a better option for us at Center then Ezeli.

Supposedly.

Udoh has set a deadline early in July free agency to decide the best offer from six NBA teams and two elite Euroleague clubs, Fenerbahce and CSKA Moscow. NBA teams can begin meeting with players at midnight ET on July 1.

“It’s definitely a possibility to come back to the NBA,” Udoh told The Vertical. “I can see myself fitting back today. I have lowered my weight to 240, so I’m even more mobile. I protect the rim, get out in transition and I’m able to play with any team and guard one through five.

I agree that we should be targeting him. I don't know why not. Watch him end up back with Golden State.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I think he can play the four. He reminds me a lot of Kevin Love.

He reminds me of Big Baby.

I love Joel but he's always injured.

I think that weight wise Love is Sullinger lite, no?
