Boston has agreed to send Kendrick Perkins to OKC for package that includes Jeff Gree

[yavozerb]

?

tbh I think this makes them stronger vs. Miami. They've got another solid wing defender to throw at them. I'd definitely take them over Miami in a series.

It just makes them alot tier against the Lakers or Spurs.

add to that the bulls also..

Boston is looking for a Kobe stopper in Green

[cornbread]

I'd my pants if Perkins left Boston. He's extremely lethal for us.

lol, so much for what we were saying a few weeks ago about having to deal with that junkyard dog in addition to the other giants in Boston. ty thing is now he's roaming around in our backyards, on a good team too.

Serious question. I decided to start a franchise 2 weeks before the trade deadline, and now I'm pissed.

Great moves by the Thunder. Green sucks and literally adds nothing to their team. Perk & Nazr are very good pick ups and it balances out their team nicely.

Seems like they were just thinking about making it out of the East and no farther then that. Shaq and Garnett can handle Bosh and Big Z. There's no way that front line holds up against the Lakers though. They have a slightly better chance against the Spurs, but still not great.

Wooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!! I'm back in!!!!!!!

[MiamiHeat]

BYUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH


this was a purely financial move. Perkins was going to command a huge contract in the off-season, maybe like 10 mil per year. most likely Perkins was gone anyway, so they traded him now even though they didnt want to.

but HOLY SMOKES this is awesome for us!! This Heat Dynasty is at it's weakest in Year One, and this opened the window for a championship in Year One a little more now!!

Different dynamic. He'll be crestfallen and he won't have Daddy, KG, Wallace, et al and etc backing him.

This definitely sucks for the Lakers and SA. I can see OKC locking up the 3, and if they don't, OKC isn't a team you'd want to meet in the second round. Scary.

Why would the Celtics trade the guy who would have won the le for them last year if healthy?

This is a dumb trade for Boston. Sure they needed depth at the wing behind Pierce but Jeff Green isn't all that great and their depth at the big position was one of their biggest strengths on the team. This stinks partially as a financial move so they don't have to deal with trying to re-sign Perkins in the off season to a $9-10 million a year contract. But really bad move by the Celtics, imo.

Poor kryptonate. I don't think he'll be allowed to chuck nearly as much on the Thunder.

Seems like a bit of a desperation move for Boston, but Green is a good fit for them. But Boston's frontline took a major hit.

Haha

Yesterday, they updated the Knicks and Nuggets' rosters

[picc84]

Amidst all the hoopla over what Boston has lost, what about what OKC just did? They got strong in the only weak area they had.

Perkins
Ibaka
Durant
Sefalosha
Westbrook

Is the best defensive lineup in the NBA.

The only big winner in this trade is Dwight Howard.

[IronMexican]

What team?

I did the Bulls, but I traded Boozer for Oden and a first, and cheated by making Oden's durability an 80(usually 25), and swung a trade for Bogans and filler for Afflalo.

[bostonguy]

Why did they do this trade for a ing backup wing player? This makes no sense. WGAF if there is the risk of Perkins leaving in the summer. The Celts have 1 run left in them and now that last stand is out the window. Man I hate the front office so much for this. Those pieces of deserve to be tortured to death. you front office!

[benefactor]

Wooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!! I'm back in!!!!!!!

[alchemist]

this helps out the Thunder so much, Spurs have so much trouble against Ibaka and now they can throw Perkins out there. Power move for the Thunder, this could work against the Lakers aswell. The C's come out losing on this one IMO.

Only thing is that Perkins will be out for 6 weeks (heard on ESPN this morning) so if they can resign him in the off season it'll be huge for them.

[jjktkk]

After the hit their play took in the finals whenever Perkins went down, you would think they knew better. This trade makes absolutely no sense at all, their defense was their bread and butter.

This.

[IronMexican]

It might be cheating if I started one with the Thunder, too. Plus, I hate Perkins. I remember in 2k9 when you could simulate 2 seasons and Westbrook and Durant would drop 45 a game(simmed)

Peaches!!!!!!!!!!!

[MiamiHeat]

im so happy about this.

The Heat Dynasty is at it's weakest right now cause it's Season One and Riley built the roster from scratch.

if the Heat manage to pull off a ring this year due to Boston shooting themselves, ! then the heat have the MLE and to add more bodies for Season Two :P

[Giuseppe]

It's a definite boon for the Heat.

bro, they aren't dumb. everyone knows perkins is needed on the celtics.

the only way this makes sense is if you look at it from a financial sense. boston was going to lose perkins in the summer anyway.
