How can you challenge what I'm saying and then one sentence in agree with it? I never said he was a bum, I said he wans't someone you build around.

Whether Sullinger is healthy or injured shouldn't change the Celtics' future plans. Nobody thinks, "Shit, the C's wouldn't have skipped a beat when KG retired and Sully took his place. Now we're doomed!"

He was the 21st pick in the draft. He's a good player, fills some needs for the Celtics, but he's not a core piece that the C's future will rely upon. If the C's future Big Three includes Sullinger, we won't be a winning team. He's a nice 4th or 5th starter but not a top three option (and there's a big difference between the Top Three option and last starter spots.)
