So, I know there was some interest in Sullinger here in the past (including in this thread when it started). Homey needed an intervention to get his fitness game tight. That can't be good.

Everything changed for Jared Sullinger on one afternoon last May.
His agent, David Falk, called him unexpectedly, and told Sullinger he’d be flying to his hometown of Columbus, Ohio.
Falk wanted to meet with his client.
They set up a meeting, but Sullinger missed it because “something popped up.”
When the Celtics forward arrived at his apartment later that afternoon, he was greeted by his agent, his family, and a man he’d never met, John Lucas II.
It was an intervention, but an unconventional one. It was regarding his fitness.
Sullinger’s weight has been a talking point since the Celtics drafted him three years ago, and it came to a head last season when he reportedly tipped the scales at 300 pounds. The C’s want to see their 6-foot-9 forward around 260.
For Sullinger to stay in green, something had to change. His family and Lucas saw that.

That can't be good. We make fun of AB, but he at least had an excuse and diets don't work. This might become a reoccurring issue for him.

Based on post season interview, he was talking about Lou/6th man of the year as an asset to keep. He didn't even offer him a contract.
Masai is putting the issue to rest.
What his true intentions are are known by him and his front office posse and we are left to speculate based on payroll structure and previous interviews what those intentions might be.

Also, that price is even below his cap hold, and could fairly easily be worked around to get to cap space. DD for 11.3 is a no-brainer.
