It sounds like Kelly Olynyk is going to have shoulder surgery. He and Crowder were injured. They must be given incomplete's.
All comments on Sullinger seem to agree he has put on weight. That is unacceptable. I always thought he'd be the rich man's Glen Davis. Now it looks like he will keep getting big just as Big Baby did.
Sullinger needs to come to terms with an eating disorder. It seemed he did last Summer going to that ex-player's addiction camp. It didn't work or we all need eyeglasses. It's a tragedy. I don't think Sully is worth more than $5 million similar to Zeller.
I think Turner was okay, but he looked a bit scary in some of those playoff games. I agree with others Smart looks more comfortable at pg and it's time to unload Evan Turner. But Stevens loves him. That seems 50-50 for if he comes back. It all depends on Danny. It's all speculation. But with Sullinger it seems done, as in thanks for the memories, Sully.
I think Rozier will be ready for the rotation next year. I'm happy with IT, Terry, Smart and Bradley. I suppose if you can resign Turner for a home crowd discount, he would be insurance for Rozier.
I like penciling in Crowder for a lot of SF minutes. I don't think Turner is that good at SF despite it being his position for height.
It's a tricky situation. If Danny can't upgrade for backup SF, Rozier as second year player is iffy, and Smart as backup pg also sounds iffy, then Turner seems to still be needed.
I'd bring back Amir no matter what. We want to win playoff series next year. We need guys like him.
I'm probably sounding like Danny except for a few tweaks. I think he says, "I like all of my guys."
Maybe that is politics. If James Young, for example, can't be moved in a trade, then why sign his option? Also, I am not holding my breath that Jordan, RJ, and even Terry will be ready. I do know that whomever we draft is going to be in the rotation just like Marcus Smart always was.
I kind of don't care who wins the title this year as long as it isn't Cleveland.
As everyone else must be doing, I eagerly anticipate watching what Danny does. There's probably not one guy on the team who is untouchable. Even Marcus and Isaiah. Okay, I will make a list of who I least expect to be traded or let go. I call this my Boston Celtics Job Security Index.
1) Isaiah
2) Smart
3) Crowder
4) Olynyk
5) Rozier
6) Bradley
7) Jordan Mickey
8 ) Jerebko
9) Amir
10) Turner
11) Zeller
12) RJ Hunter
13) John Holland
14) Young
15) Sullinger
This has been a great rebuild. I don't know how anyone can be complaining. I am not even disappointed we lost the series. I give them all a pass because of the injuries. Maybe the team doctor and training staff need to be held accountable. It was bad luck or they are the true achilles heel, not Brad and Danny doing stupid things once in a while, or Crowder and Olynyk looking like scrubs, although they were hurting. It's easy to complain in front of the television while wolfing down a big bag of cheetos.
