Sullinger just said exactly what you wanted to hear or exactly what you did not want to hear

...And in news that is sure to polarize the Celtics' fanbase, Jared Sullinger took to Twitter to address the perception of his team and what they are trying to accomplish in the 2013-14 season:

Jared Sullinger: "We just want to win and show everybody that they can kiss our butts about that tanking stuff."

Sullinger: "Lot of guys expect us to just like tank for Parker or Wiggins. Y’all might as well throw that out the door."

On one hand there's only one way to get a shot at a potential franchise altering draft pick- be terrible. On the other hand, there is the only way to develop the young core that you already have- play hard and try to win.

In a rebuilding year with a potentially loaded draft, the decision on which direction you want to go is a tricky one.
