Re: Kendrick Perkins Traded to OKC

It's not like Perk was/is asking them or anybody to break the bank. The word is he wants 4years and 30 million. I still say you hold on to him and try to win it all and wait till you see what the CBA brings.

The part that doesn't make any sense to me at all though is these people saying this is a move for the future and Green will be apart of the future. I guess they missed the part that Green is a free agent at the end of the year as well. Chances are very very high he isn't going to be there next year as well. The Celtics already have 72 million on the books for next year. So if the NBA goes to a hard cap or a dollar for dollar tax for over the cap teams there he isn't coming back. Not to mention Kristic is a free agent at the end of the year as well.

So basically we could be looking at a situation in which they traded their size advantage and starting center for a backup forward that isn't going to be on the squad next season either. If that is the case I would much rather have Perkins than Green for this years playoffs.

Although I'm upset that Perk is gone, the C's offered him the max they could under the CBA (4y/23m).

Also, Green is a RFA, so I guessing the C's think with the new CBA, teams wont have money to throw out a big offer to Green (similar to how no one gave Big Baby an offer 2 years ago, and the C's were able to resign him cheap). But then again, Big Baby is a UFA....so we'll see what Danny's plan is after the season

Re: Kendrick Perkins Traded to OKC

Looking at it from a Celtics Standpoint, I think the trade will work out. Losing Perkins will hurt on defense,especially against Dwight Howard, but getting Jeff Green really helps against the great small forwards the Celtics make face. Lebron, Carmelo, Luol Deng, amaong others are all good. What would happen if Pierce gets in foul trouble. At least now, you got someone who can score off the bench. It really is a risk by Ainge but I see why he did it.

Interesting spin on all of this, huh? Injuries probably played a bigger role in all of this than we think.

-8 (11)
+7 (7)
+1 (7)

Does he make an impact? Yes. Is it a series changing impact, I don't believe so.

Bynum was MIA in the series offensively and seemed little to do with Perkins. Gasol's production didn't seem to improve in the two games without Perkins either based on the series.

As I said, we'll see but I don't think it is a doom and gloom trade.
Dude wasn't even healthy. People can't judge the man's impact after 5 games.

I hope somehow the Celtics and Magic meet up in the 2nd round and they have to go up against Dwight.

We'll see how little Perks' impact is when Dwight is going ballistic on their frontline.
