Absolutely. Not gonna happen, though. If he goes to a good team, he's going to be a big help. I'm not buying that back b.s.

Exactly. A team like Denver, Portland, San Antonio, or even Phoenix could benefit BIG TIME having a guy like Sully on the roster. I'm not buying this red flag BS either. He said it best...

"I'm not a testing type of guy. I'm a basketball player," Sullinger said Monday in New Orleans. "If I'm so robotic in testing or I couldn't do the testing because I wasn't robotic enough, I apologize to everybody that thinks I didn't do well. That's just me. I'm a basketball player. I know how to play with a basketball."

Sully won't last long enough for the Celtics to grab him, but I think it would be a great fit.

I absolutely agree. Meant to include them in the teams that could do great things with Sully, was just looking at Western Conf. teams that could benefit from Sully.

LOL, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the Celtics were behind the bad back rumors. It looks like the Ramon Sessions trade is now pretty lop sided. Thank God we ended up on the good side of that deal! Can't cry for LA, a preferred destination for most free agents.

The Lakers can still offer Sessions more than other teams so if he wants to play there I'm sure they can bring him back.

the only way the lakers can offer him more than other teams is if he gets a max deal, which he clearly will not. otherwise, he gets what the highest bidder offers. with the amnesty clause there are plenty of teams with the cap room to offer him a nice chunk of change. also, remember, LA is so far over the cap right now that their luxury tax is going to be astronomical once they try and fill out their 13 man as they only have 7 guys under contract and have a cap hit of $75 million right now.

so, a team offering sessions $5.5 million per is going to cost the lakers over $10 million. for ramon freaking sessions. no, LA screwed the pooch on that deal.

I have no idea if this guy knows what he is talking about or not but I certainly hope that the paragraph about Drummond is wrong.
Trade talks among the teams in the top-10 seems to be heating up. The Cavaliers have approached Charlotte, New Orleans, and Golden State about acquiring their lottery picks. While it is common for teams to talk and gauge interest about potential deals the Cavs have been more aggressive. Sources say the Cavs have expressed the willingness to absorb salary in addition to trading the 24th pick. A potential stumbling block with New Orleans is the Hornets insistence thus far to have Trevor Ariza and Emeka Okafor included in a deal for the 10th pick. According to one league executive the Cavs could get a deal done with the Warriors if they trade Anderson Varejao and 24 but that the Cavs are unwilling to pull the trigger on that deal right now.

On the subject of the Cavs, PBD reported that the Cavs have Andre Drummond ranked ahead of Harrison Barnes on their current draft board, which is still subject to change. Drummond's athletic abilities and size are extremely unique and has Grant and his assistants intrigued. Wednesday is a huge day for Drummond as he will be working out in Cleveland.

IF Sullinger would fall to #24; would Cavs select him?

No chance. We already have a 6-8 power forward.
