This isn't a bad move for OKC IF they can get a starting 4 who can score. Ibaka isn't going to cut it.
This has merit. We're gonna find this out now. Is he peculiar to the Celtics, or, does his impact travel.
If it travels well "we're" all at extreme risk.

Lol, it's not. You don't judge a Center on stats. His impact was felt almost as much as Rondo.
nearly $9 million per year for 4 years..... this is going to be another haywood contract, probably worse since Haywoods last year isn't guaranteed. They both provide about the same thing..... except Haywoods probably a little better IMO.
OKC core is legit. Set for awhile too.
4 year I believe. Shouldn't be too bad.
Haywoods is like 8 million per year for 4 years as well, (actually 5 but his last year is completely non guaranteed, so it works like Damps contract)
they still need a post prescence otherwise it means nothing. you can rely on just ft's and jumpshots
Good for Perkins.
There offense is going to struggle, especially in the playoffs
They still a jumpshooting team, lets see how that holds up in the playoffs.
Personally if healthy I think he is a good "impact" player defensively and though not a weapon offensively sets the best illegal screens in the NBA.
Add to it that Perk has Ibaka next to him to play the roamain'/roving KG role (no not saying Ibaka is as good as KG) but he has the length and athleticism to be a poor man's version on defense.
I think great trade for OK and good signing. I didnt look at the exact numbers but even at the first year raise ...there are many players with worse contracts ...starting with Luke Walton ...
I dont think scoring is their problem, if Harden continues to step up. I do think they need another wing scorer off their bench ...Thorton or JR smith would of been perfect. If he is hot they play if not they sit.
rofl you in med school or something?
I think they have all the pieces necessary to compete, and Ibaka is an underrated offensive player. People think because he is African he is some kind of Mutombo kind of stiff but he's actually somewhat skilled.
How has Harden played this season? I saw he was shooting 42% That's pretty awful.
That was the first name that came up for me as well.
Lord.
Perk is hitting up the strip club with a couple stacks of 1's, no doubt.
Hatin' on THAT Serge
Stop writing bull .
Haywood is 6 years, 52.2 million. Guaranteed are 5 years - 41.7 million.
Haywood averages over 5 years 8.35 million
Perkins average over 4 years 8.6 million.
Haywood has a year more but Perkins coming off a huge injury. Funny how everyone ripped Cuban for the Haywood contract but Presti "did a nice job blbla"
Haywood lost his starting a job like a week after he signed the contract though.
overpaid? maybe a little but have you taken a look at Haywood or Bynum's contracts???
He's not overpaid. That the kind of cash that big men get in the league. I can't believe the Celtics low-balled him.

Boston didn't lowball Perkins. They offered him the maximum extension that they were allowed to offer under the CBA.
OKC still had space remaining under this year's salary cap and increased Perkins' 2010-11 salary from 4.4M to 6.7M. They were then able to use the higher figure as the basis for the extension. Boston didn't have the cap space to make the same maneuver.

Ibaka is averaging 14.4 points per 40 minutes. Thats pretty solid for a fourth or fifth option which is what he's been the last two years. He also has solid mid range jump shot; he's shooting 44% on jumpers 16-23 feet from the basket while taking almost two a game, plus he can uncork some crazy dunks if he gets alone anywhere near the basket. He'll get a lot better too because he is still raw offensively in terms of having any go to moves either facing up or in the post. Because he's African though some people think he's a Thabeet level re with no offensive skills.
