Kendrick Perkins traded to Thunder, Jeff Green, Nenad Krstic to Celtics

I guess my prediction in the summer of OKC - Heat finals isn't that bad after all

[MMM]

WTF OKC got Nasty Naz as well

[Pursuer]

It is unbelievable, but OKC traded Green for Perkins in my NBA 2k11 association. This is hard to believe to me, that Boston's taking such a risk, considering how Shaq and Jermaine have been injured this season.

OKC might just be on track to make the WCF.

Damn!!! They're loading up their bigs.

Naw. That is reserved for the Spurs and the Lakers.

Why you would trade argueable the best post defender in the league for a swingman? Boston don't need offense...they are great because of their size and post defense. It's why they would give Miami problems.

Why trade Perk when you pretty much already are the favourites to win it all? stupid.

Naw. That is reserved for the Spurs and the Lakers.

If they can avoid the Lakers...they can probably the WCF.

[All Net]

They also got JO, Erden, and Harangody.

That's a lot of fouls right there.

But they aren't stopping anybody.

[Done_And_Done]

Maybe it's just me but I'm not seeing where Green fits in with the Celts. Though I'm not discrediting his ability to play the game, it Just seems like an odd acquisition for some reason...

They don't want to loss him for nothing, I guess.
They got Green, who is a good young player.

From that perspective, it makes sense.
OKC just got so much better though; their defense is so lethal now with Westbrook, Ibaka and Perkins among others.

Now Doc can forever use that "Our starting 5 has never lost a series" line

I don't think it's as bad for Boston as you guys are making it out to be. Jeff Green is provides really nice scoring off the bench for now and is a nice piece for the future, and Kristic is serviceable. With Quis possibly out for a while they lacked wing depth.. they just have to really hope Shaq stays healthy which is always a question mark.

[mans1ay3r]

um. what.

All I can think is Boston has been #1 on the east without Perk.. so maybe Ainge feels.. they don't need him as much? Damn I feel bad for Perk, he worked his @ss off to heal and come back. I dont know much about Jeff Green.. gotta check him out now.. sigh.

bingo. i don't get it unless perk is really hurt, but then no way the thunder do this.

i don't get this at all.

great for the thunder though. they are a legit threat to win the west now.

[DuMa]

boston probably had other reasons for doing this. they didnt trust the longterm health of perkins
