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

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

    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).

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

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

    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!!!!"

    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

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

    Really good rebounder.

    Solid passer. Great outlet passes.

    Good outside shooter.

    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.
