Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big story line. Because there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump.
“I told him, ‘People don’t trust you, and you want to be trusted. You have to give them something to trust you. You have to give them a reason to trust you. You’ve almost got to let them know,’” said Lucas, who recently was hired by the Rockets as head of player development.
“I called him when the season ended, and he said, ‘Coach, I don’t know if I can do all that work again like that.’ And I said, ‘It’s the only way you’re going to make it.’”
…
With good reason — though Lucas thinks there might be more to it than simply eating too much.
“He really worked and got himself down to about 282 last year when he left, but he began to put weight on when he went back up,” he said. “He worked had all summer.
“I really think he has some kind of food intolerance or some other thing. It’s not like he’s not conscious of it. I think he just has to investigate more what dictates his weight. I recommended to him that he go see a holistic doctor or some kind of doctor about what food allergies he might have. My daughter went to a food allergy doctor and cut out yeast and bread, and she dropped 40 pounds in like three months just by taking that out of her diet. I think Jared, as much as he ran and worked, he should have been around 210.
Not sure if you can put in the work? Jesus Christ, Jared.
This is where professional athletes – who have been gifted with talent and size – lose the support of fans. We’d all gladly trade our commutes and day jobs for 6 hours in the gym and the life of a stardom.
Lucas hints that Sullinger might have some sort of medical condition that’s hindering his weight loss. Maybe so, but I have to believe the Celtics provided Jared with all the necessary medical and nutritional support.
Sounds like someone needs to grow up and seize the opportunity before him.
On Page 2, there are a lot of wild rumors out there.
To clarify my earlier tweet: BOS would get Griffin, LAC would get Gay and SAC would get Crowder. Other pieces also involved.

Want some more? Celtics are working the trade market for a deal and have made significant progress on a star player. Danny could trike again

I have no idea who these guys are (outside of their Twitter bios) and feel dirty for sharing this nonsense but consider it my obligation to Celtics fans.
