Perk Trade Actuality!

Just caught wind of a Perk trade to OKC. I hope its false, anyone else hearing anything?

Marcus called me at work says it's for Jeff green and Kristic (sp)

That is what I heard also. I am floored by this.

its a done deal reportedly......

im 100% against this.. no, 250% against this

For Jeff Green, Nenad Kristic, and.........

I DON'T FLIPPING BELIEVE THIS

if Perkins dont take a buyout and return im gonna puke..

Perhaps more to come, is there time?

Matty, share the bucket plz.

now nate's included in the deal

This may lead to something bigger/better, I hope!

Zach HammerThe Boston Celtics have reached an agreement in principle to trade Kendrick Perkins to the Oklahoma City Thunder for forward Jeff Green and center Nenad Krstic, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.


A big WTF

beat

Hi,
First question: what's the point of this trade?
Second: how is it possible money-wise?

I thought I might have been missing something when I saw this hit the wires. Makes no sense on the surface.

Is the left knee injury a lot worse than has been revealed so far ?

Or does Ainge have another deal in motion that hasn't been reported yet because there's a backup in the line at the NBA office for con calls to approve deadline deals ?

Money-wise, someone else like Nate makes the salaries work. That's the easy part.


Did they think Perk was going to walk as a FA this summer ? Was he unhappy ?

Now is there a deal for Troy Murphy? Not that he holds a candle to Perk, he is a power foward,.

how bad is the knee?

now we know why he wasn't playing tonight

He wants $60million and Danny wasn't paying it
Dwight Howard, here we come

the addition of jeff is great.. but not at the expense of the one of the few guys who can control Dwight Howard. there has to be something much bigger in play as ya guys said..

gosh i hope im having a nightmare..

At least Green and Kristic are healthy...........and saying that how can OKC feel about perhaps damaged goods. Would not Perkins have to pass a physical?

beat

Given the fact that Danny is not Pitino or Chris Wallace, I am going to do my best to keep my heart rate down. As it stands now, OKC got a lot better, we took a step down. Matty, I agree we are in trouble with the Magic.

UPDATE Harangody and Erdan to Cleveland for a 2nd round pick.

We must be clearing space for someone

As usual with Danny, I didn't see this one coming. What else could be in the works? The healthy part I like. Looks like we're getting some height. We clearly win from that perspective.

1st or 2nd from Cleveland?

I read 2nd

HATE the Perk trade, basically giving up on winning a title this year and with the advanced ages of the big 3, well that's a BAD idea. wether they can resign Perk this summer or not.

Not a huge fan of Green either, doesn't rebound well enough, not aggressive enough of a player IMO. He'll be nice in some aspects of the game, but not worth the price the Celtics title aspirations just paid.

Magic are a handful for us now and the Heat are smiling at the gaping whole in the middle that LeBron and Wade can drive to now.

GAH hate it.
