Any idea what kind of protection is on that pick?
Boston was the only team I feared, this is great news for the Spurs and the rest of the NBA. Makes no sense at all for Boston though...unless contract demands by Perk were going to be an ongoing distraction throughout the season?Even if that were the case they couldve still done better than Greene though.
WOW. I am shocked and I would be completely pissed If I were a C's fan. WTF is Ainge thinking?!?!? And thanks alot now asshole the Spurs will possibly have to deal with Perkins, Ibaka, AND Nazr. And who the are the C's gonna use at C? Shaq who's been hurt all year? Krstic who is soft as ?
No way.
You cant possibly wave the white flag when youre the #1 seed in your conference and are a year removed from a Finals trip. That'd be insane.
maybe they will pair KG at C and Green at PFWOW. I am shocked and I would be completely pissed If I were a C's fan. WTF is Ainge thinking?!?!? And thanks alot now asshole the Spurs will possibly have to deal with Perkins, Ibaka, AND Nazr. And who the are the C's gonna use at C? Shaq who's been hurt all year? Krstic who is soft as ?
Got me. We literally traded 3 of our big guys away, for a second round pick, a decent player, and a ty C. Woohoo.WOW. I am shocked and I would be completely pissed If I were a C's fan. WTF is Ainge thinking?!?!? And thanks alot now asshole the Spurs will possibly have to deal with Perkins, Ibaka, AND Nazr. And who the are the C's gonna use at C? Shaq who's been hurt all year? Krstic who is soft as ?
Exactly. It's insane. The Marquis trade was probably because they didn't think he'd play the rest of the year. That's the only thing I can take from that.
And I was just stating to my GF last night about how bad Jeff Green is and how he was the weak link of that Thunder team....well there he goes now....
Making space to sign Rasheed? try to sign Murphy? other cast offs who are getting bought out?
Daniels was dead weight right now anyway
Is Green even playing inside the paint? He looks to me like a big SF who can shoot.
I gotta think that Sheed is going to be signed now. Ainge wants to set the record for oldest team ever to win a le.
That's exactly what he is. A weak ass jump-shooter.....
From what little I've seen of Green on the Thunder he seems like a guy with the tools to do some things on the perimeter, just couldn't get a lot of touches sharing the floor with Westbrook and Durant. I just don't see how there's any more touches to go around heading to a team with Allen, Pierce, and KG.
Suddenly all four top teams in the West are unbelievably tough. GREAT deal for the Thunder, they're a force all of a sudden... the series with the Spurs if they meet probably just went from 5 games with a chance at 6 to 6 games with a possibility of 7. Ugh. But this means the Celtics are much more beatable now.
tbh tho boston did offer perks an extension that he scoffed right?
maybe their relationship went out the window there and they deemed that him being disgruntled over the lack of an extension would be too big of a distraction...thats the only thing that would make any type of sense. but even then greene is a horrible fit in boston, they shouldve looked at other options. something like joel przybilla+rudy for perk+nate wouldve been a better move imo.
So the celtics basically traded ray allen for jeff green, then got jeff green back, while trading perkins?
Are you suggesting Mitch had it all planned that he was going to trade Kwame for Pau Gasol when he traded Caron for Kwame???
That's just ridiculous tin-foil hat thinking.
Jerry West left Mitch instructions.
Quite the clowning around... You act like giving up a surplus big and back up point gaurd who give the Celts a little scoring punch and nothing more for a premium scorer in Green and a decent role player of the bench in Krstic. Typical fan to say you hate the trade when deep down inside you love it. Boston doesn't lose much at all, but they gain some definite scoring punch. It deepens the entire roster.
I get it now...C's send OKC what they need to take out L.A. and the Spurs..BOS/OKC finals. C's in 6...genius.
they are going to glue green and krsticzczcz together
happy to see i'm not the only stupid guy around here
This was a good trade for the Celtics, from a long-term perspective, and it won't be a significant downgrade for this season, if they sign Rasheed, they won't lose anything IMO..
I've been one of the biggest Green haters since he was drafted, so I'm not high on him, but he might learn a thing or 2, playing with KG, Pierce, Allen and playing for Doc Rivers..he still has some potential, he gives the Celtics some athleticism..I don't think much of him at all, but at least he gives them a different dimension..
Perkins is a great screen setter, a great 1 on 1 defender and a very good team defender..however, he doesn't look the same since his injury, he's a horrible offensive player, and he's undoubtedly going to get overpaid..any team that overpays Kendrick Perkins is foolish, and Boston avoided it..he has injury concerns, and he's never going to develop any offensive ability, he's not worth the $ that he's going to get..he's going to get more than what Brendan Haywood got(depending on the CBA, obviously), which is too much, especially as the NBA continues to get faster..
Rasheed only playing for half a season will give you most of what Perkins gives you, especially since Perkins may not be fully recovered from injury, and you don't have to pay Perkins, from a long-term perspective..they're both mediocre offensive players, but Rasheed will still give you very good post D, he knows the system, and he has experience, he'll be fine..
Krstic is a solid bench big man..
Celtics just got a little worse imo....perk was a great defender.
Rasheed is washed up and worthless, imo.
He filled in for Perkins in the Finals after the injury to Perkins in the 1st quarter of Game 6, and they still lost both game 6 and 7.
He doesn't hustle and just stands at the 3pt line.
