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

[StroShow4]

Most of you have this sh!t ass backwards... acting like Green is the scrub and Perkins is a stud. Thunder got robbed.

The thread should be retitled to "Championship to Los Angeles, Backlash to Danny Ainge"

[YouCallILose]

he was likely out for the season and it opens up a roster spot for the C's to add a bought out player;

rip
parker
camby
etc.

Anyways what can we expect from Green???? can we really expect him to fit in with this team as they make a championship run. From that perspective I don't really understand this deal. Why take on such a risk???

Green's a good SF. He will be a good backup, but he can't play any other position. Him at PF=total disaster

The problem for Boston is this, if they're thinking about Green longterm..he's going to cost more than Perkins would have

I can't believe Boston did this though..man Green is at best a backup on a title team. Perkins is a legit center

I thought Boston's whole thing this summer was to improve their front court depth to match the Lakers front line. Now they're quite small. Again, what the hell? Are they planning on playing small ball at times, because unless the O'Neal's stay healthy they have NO depth.

I bet Anthony Parker agreed to come to Boston, or Rip is getting bought out.

Apparently neither are getting bought out. Probably back to Butler/Howard ideas from before. WOuldn't surprise me about Parker though, after we gave the Cavs a steal.

First post has been updated, btw.

Now they're quite small.

Yeah, Shaq is tiny. Krstic is a midget. JO shrunk to 6'5 in his old age.

I've got faith in this, Ainge isn't stupid. It looks bad, but everything hasn't shaken out yet and there are 3 roster spots open now.

Ainge isn't stupid, but he makes very risky moves that can end up as total flops.

I was more surprised when I saw this trade then when I saw that Utah traded Deron. Trade makes 0 sense. None. What so ever. It's like Boston's version of the Shaq sun trade. Trade for a guy who doesn't fit with what they're currently doing, change their style and lose overall talent despite being in first place. I never thought Phoenix was going to win, but they had a very good chance to get out of the conference, and they killed that chance. Exactly what has happened here.

[MMM]

Celtics fans.. this move doesn't hurt them, the celtics won 12 straight without perk, they needed a back up for PP at the SF,


If Shaq stays healthy and JO & Nenad Krstic backing up , there fine at the C

I couldnt stand Nate, especially when playing the Point.

They haven't been able to stay healthy all season which is a major concern heading into the playoffs.

Nobody is saying Green isn't good but the main reason why Boston are so great is their size...without Perk they lose a big advantage over Miami/ L.A.

Agree that people are undervaluing Green, but he was spare parts in OKC who have to extend Westbrook soon. Perkins filled their need.

I don't think that will matter since Shaq can't play more than 25 minutes and Jermaine O'Neal's knee is retired.

[Scoooter]

Wow. Exciting trade season.

[dwightderon]

I believe it's a good trade for both teams.

All I can ask is.........................................Why?
