they could have kept Westbrook, Harden, and Durant if they didn't give Perkins that stupid contract, or if they decided to bite the bullet and amnesty him. I think a team with Rondo, Harden, Durant, and Ibaka could have been nightmarish defensively (remember, Harden was actually a solid defender with the Thunder, and has fallen off a cliff since taking a lead offensive role, much like Kobe, who was a great defensive player early in his career when Shaq was carrying the load).

So Ibaka then should play 48 minutes a night?

Without Perkins they have who exactly? Kristic?

I always thought they should have signed TC but they balked because of his toe. He subsequently won a championship with Dallas and took a big payday in NY.

a cheaper replacement? it doesn't take much to replace/replicate Perkins' production/impact on OKC for the past 2 seasons. more minutes for Collison? i never implied that the empty roster spot would go unaddressed just because they didn't give Perkins a ridiculous 5 year 40 million dollar extension. i can go back and take a look at FA's around that time, but Perkins has been a net negative for the team the past 2 seasons

This is the beginning of the end for Chimpbrook

When I saw that live I was hoping his meniscus was going to crawl out of his knee and scream "NO MAS!"

It's easy to say "cheaper replacement", much harder to find a viable one.

Perkins averaged 25 minutes per game last year, 19 per game so far this year. I don't think its difficult to replace his "production" with replacement level talent. Besides, I think the dropoff from Perkins to replacement is well worth being able to keep Harden in addition to Ibaka, Durant and westbrook/rondo

When Perkins is on the floor they are playing 4-5 on offense. He doesnt shoot further than 10 feet and is still sub 50% from the field. he's also a slow footed defender without much height, or any athleticism to make up for it. i really don't think it would be remotely difficult to replace him with waiver talent

That's why I love Patrick Beverly. I can't stand Chimpbrook, tbh.

But, they didn't blame him for it---like they've done Westbrook. But, they got no choice but to throw the smokescreen. Durant disgraced himself the other nite. Hanging Westbrook by his Buster Browns will provide that smokescreen until the roiling settles down.

I'm always nervous.

When there is an appropriate occasion for 5-4 I'll lodge it. I don't ever employ it willy-nilly.

Media has dutifully shoved Kirby's Rape aside since the MVPau trade, while nary a mention has been made of his Tape.... despite shooting 23% in the clutch, Media hypes him up as an alpha male and a closer....

Attrition, I eat things that make a billy goat puke in Jerkwater, USA. I'm goin' to Seattle, gettin' a job in a car wash.

Wasn't me. They all picked up and left 2/3 the way thru the 3 peat, opened up Sose's Joint and locked the door.
