Kendrick Perkins will have his contract bought out by the Jazz, according to a source. Teams to watch: Cavs, Clippers.
Most likely CLIPS due to Doc connection.
Three-team deal it is per @WojYahooNBA: Enes Kanter to the Thunder, Kendrick Perkins to the Jazz, Reggie Jackson to the Pistons.

He'd be great for the Cavs, but can he and Allen get along?

Damn, surprised no one has really said much about Kanter. I think he was a pretty big pick up for a team that needed some scoring down low. He sucks at defense but Ibaka can probably cover his ass. They lost Somalian Pirate who always killed us but Kanter could turn out to be a real good addition for OKC
The loss of Jackson and Perk hurts them more than the addition of Kanter, imo. Still a good pickup, though. Kanter has put up decent production through the season so will be interesting to see how it translates in OKC.
Augustin is an underrated pickup. He's having a good year. He played with Durant in college at Texas too.
Wow! Great move for OKC tbh. Kanter is still a promising prospect. The guy can really score down low. Ibaka, Adams and Collison will do the dirty work still, but Kanter can come off the bench and chip in his 12 and 6. This is actually a very underrated move from OKC considering all they traded here is Perkins.
Jazz got nothing but Porkins, who will probably be bought out?
Edit: Ok, they saved Novak 2016 salary of 3,750,000
I agree, don't know much about Kanter though. The Thunder would be scary if he turns out to be a solid low post scorer.
The Augustin pickup was really solid imo. Always liked his game and under a good coach (lol) he's thrived.
Oh damn, didn't know Augustin was included. I agree with that, he's definitely a solid addition.
This was actually a great move for the Thunder. Reggie Jackson doesn't fit in when Westbrook is healthy. Steven Adams is basically a better and younger version of Perkins and has been taking Perkins' minutes all season. Kanter can come off the bench for some low post scoring and DJ Augustin is a borderline starter scoring PG who will also be coming off the bench. Thunder just got deeper without losing much.
Rights to Tibor Pleiß (currently at Barcelona) also to the Jazz!
Players are decent...but it comes down to chemistry...
Rsxpimp this scrub wont have enough time in brooks system to go 12 and 6
Too slow to guard 4s and offers absolutely no rim protection whatsoever at the 5. Any team that has a decent stretch four can pull Ibaka away from the basket and just attack the lane all day.
Yeah, you're probably right I can't see him getting the same amount of usage rate with OKC. Still, it's very intriguing. OKC actually has a lot of big bodies this year (McGary, Kanter, Adams, Ibaka and even Collison) They are a very dangerous team assuming KD gets his health in check.
