MY NOTE:  That's all fine and good, but the bottom line is we need an upgrade at center.  He should not have been starting 3 years ago, he shouldn't be starting now.  He is not an NBA center.  HOWEVER, he has to commit AND STICK to his conditioning because without it he won't be able to stay in front of NBA 4s.  Or is a 6'9", 280# PF going to be our back up center? Furthermore, if/when Danny gets a replacement for him at 5 can/will he be able to thrive off the bench if Danny keeps Amir?


.

Sully made it pretty clear that he was going to test free agency at the beginning of the year when he turned down Danny's offer. Just what does he believe he is worth? I like the kid, but he is not worth huge money. It will be interesting to see just what Danny values him at

I think Sully will sign a contract in the $8-12M per year range.

either here or somewhere else.

too many teams will have boatloads of money and any young NBA starters will get more than they did in the recent past.
