Now they just gotta wait until Griffin goes home and they're set for some serious contending.
I dont, i think he has solid potential a great athlete, with a good motor who has improved every year. Plus he is STILL young ...should be interesting OKC has a tough choice if they signed him to alonbgterm deal now and he improves at the same rate he will be a steal (Serge) but if they wait he may command much more ...

When reporting on Kendrick Perkins I think it should be called a contract hyperextension.

I don't believe that's true. However, I'm too lazy to look it up at the moment.
It's absolutely true.
Perkins’ $4.4 million salary for this season was raised to $6.7 million, and the extension – with subsequent annual raises – was built off that.

Maybe I misunderstood your original post. I thought you were saying that Boston "offered him the maximum extension that they were allowed to offer under the CBA." Clearly they did not.
Certain players' impact can be measured in statistical production. Other players' impact can be measured in contribution to ulative success. I think Perkins is the latter.
The claims of overrated stem from a lack of production, which is fair, but defensively and on the boards, the impact of having a 7-footer who understands foot-work, angles, positioning, boxing-out and who has solid on-ball defense and is a good rebounder goes farther than can be measured through production alone. Perkins did a lot of dirty work that goes overlooked. Many times he defensed a play from simply being in a certain proximity. Many times another teammate may have capitalized on a rebound after Perk cleared the way.
That's exactly what I said, and clearly they did.
4/22 was the maximum extension that Boston could offer. OKC was able offer more by using available cap space to bump up his current salary which then served as the base figure for the extension. Boston could not increase his current salary and had to base their extension offer on the lower figure.
I don't think so. Boston had Perkins' Bird rights. That could sign him for whatever they wanted.
Extension...not a new contract, thats the big difference
From the Boston Globe...

Celtics president Danny Ainge said on WEEI he and coach Doc Rivers "agonized'' over trading Kendrick Perkins.
Ainge is banking on the return of Shaquille and Jermaine O'Neal to the lineup and Jeff Green stabilizing the second unit for another championship run.
Ainge beleived Perkins was expendable because of his pending free agency and the expected return of the O'Neals.
“[Perkins] wasn’t interested in doing a contract extension,” Ainge said. “He wanted to test the market.” It was reported that the Perkins rejected a four-year $22 million offer from the team. Perkins was reportedly asking for $30 million over the same period.
"It's tough to play the O'Neals and Perk at the same time," Ainge said. “Shaq has proven to be better with our starters. We beat all of the top teams without Kendrick.”
Ainge said Jermaine "is coming along nicely" and Shaq should return in a week. "We feel good about our team."
Ainge acknowledged the deal has brought some emotion from his players.
“In time they will see the benefits for our team,'' he said.
What the Celtics are getting in Green is a versatile, experienced 24-year-old from Georgetown.
“He can play the four, three. He defends multiple positions. He can shoot the three-ball and post-up smaller guys,” Ainge said. “He has scoring, passing, intelligence, youth, energy all in one package.”
“We shed some tears today,” Ainge said after he told Perkins of his trade to Oklahoma City. “He’s a good kid and is going to a great situation.”
Today’s transactions left the Celtics with three open roster spots. Ainge said the team will aggressively fill those positions.
“We will be ready to pounce on players who will be bought out,” said Ainge, who is looking for help from outside and wing players, as well as a defender. He says guard is the least of his concerns.
“We may fill all three or just two depending on who we get,” Ainge said.
The Celtics low-balled him.
There is no difference.
There is. Because Perkins already got an extension from his rookie contract and it wasn't a max contract, this next extension is based on his previous (or in this case, this season's) salary. A new contract, not negotiated as an extension, is a different animal all together. That's why the extension is for four years, and not six years. Four years is the maximum number of years for an extension for a player like Perk. If he were negotiating a new contract, he could technically get max dollars and six years.
There's a tremendous difference.
Read the rules:

Yes they did. Are you trying to tell me that he was asking the Celtics to pay him more than they were allowed? I find that highly implausible.
You are right about that. He still could have finished his contract and re-signed as an FA for any amount though.
I'm saying that the rules are black and white. Under the CBA, the max extension that Boston could offer was 4/22. The "report" that he had asked for 4/30 was anonymous and incorrect.
Can you provide a link that states 4/22 was the max Boston could offer? I have found two stories that state 4/30 was the max he could get. Regardless, Boston still could have let him become a FA and resigned him using his Bird rights. They low-balled him.
In this season in particular, the extension happening before the season was over is key for both sides. Boston would have obviously liked to lock up Perkins before he became an unrestricted free agent this summer and watch some teams try to up his asking price which Boston feared could have gotten as high as $9-10 million a year. Perkins obviously wanted to get an extension and guaranteed money before the new CBA was negotiated because no one knows how that will affect the salary cap and individual player salaries. Moreover, it's always prudent to take guaranteed money that is approximately your worth when you have an injury and don't know what's going to happen when it comes to basketball. See Grant Hill. What seemed like an ordinary ankle injury became a 4-5 year odyssey of health issues for Hill. Good thing the Magic didn't mind securing him with a max contract back then. Both sides wanted to negotiate an extension.
There are plenty of stories written by guys that can't spell CBA.
I provided you with a link to the rules. Plug in the numbers. They offered him the greatest amount allowed under the CBA for an extension. They did not low-ball him.
