I still think we should try to play F/A next off-season and not sacrifice assets to get smacked by GSW. Giles/Jackson/Fultz/Tatum/Ntilikina/Smith all have stud ability.

Based on ESPN's Real Plus-Minus metric from last season, Celtics will have two top 10 centers, a top 5 SF, and a top 5 PF. Would've been 3 top 10 centers if we kept Sully.

If Sully is projected as a top 10 center by ESPN'S Real Plus-Minus metrics makes me question ESPN's analytics.

Yeah, I should've phrased it differently. Sully was among top 10 centers in RPM last season. So he graded well in that particular metric. Don't let those flabs and fat ass fool you. Dude's a very good rebounder, above average positional and post defender, decent passer, great screen-setter. He does a lot of good things that help the team win. You just can't trust him to keep himself in shape to have him playing significant minutes for most of the season. Ran out of gas towards the end of the season. Also a negative against certain matchups.

So, by your thoughts, seems he's be a better player than Jerebko or Mickey, why was he let go ?

I don't think he'd be happy sitting on the bench behind Amir and Horford and maybe even KO. Zeller, Jerebko, and Mickey would all be fine with limited minutes/role. And mostly I believe the FO was just done with him. Gave him the support and opportunity to improve his conditioning but never really committed to it. There's also a likelihood that Zeller could be traded between now and next offseason basing on the type of contract he signed. Sully might not have been amenable to that arrangement.

In Toronto, he could start as PF if they go big or be the 1st big off the bench behind JVal while remaining on a really good team.

Putting JV, Sully and Derozan on the floor together is spacing death. Good luck to the Raps with that lineup.
