Boston is stupid, can't believe they give up perkins..

**Louisvillekid1** · 02-24-11, 03:11 PM

They woulda won the ship last year if perkins was healthy..

**Louisvillekid1** · 02-24-11, 03:14 PM

they threw nate washington in the deal so now their not over the cap

**fightingwarrior** · 02-24-11, 03:16 PM

the thunder will be balling now.hopefully make a 3es seed

**Louisvillekid1** · 02-24-11, 03:19 PM

To me this is like Boston saying, ok were not going to win it this year so lets start getting younger.... I thought they had a great chance to win it this season before this season...

**BatemanPatrickl** · 02-24-11, 03:21 PM

Not sure this makes sense.

**rsnnh12** · 02-24-11, 03:24 PM

Perkins is done. His knee is complete shit. He reinjured it the other night. Not to mention, he wanted $10 mil/yr. Recently turned down a 4 yr, 28 mil contract to stay in Boston.

Good move for the Celtics, as long as Shaq and Semih get healthy and stay healthy

**VegasInsider** · 02-24-11, 03:27 PM

The Celtics needed to get more athletic and they're banking on Perkins not holding up. He's a big boy with a banged up knee that won't get better. I think it's a great move for the Celtics and I'm excited, as a Celtics fan, to watch Green become a better player.

**Louisvillekid1** · 02-24-11, 03:28 PM

Its good for the future, and ok city really makes out here... however there killing a great chance to win the title this year...

**kaijunn** · 02-24-11, 03:29 PM

they still have a chance.

**ttwarrior1** · 02-24-11, 03:31 PM

jeff green averaged 37 min a game, doesn't make turnovers and can score if needed. Just don't see how he plays that many minutes in boston. I guess he will be the #2 backup of pierce, garnett and ray allen, since he can play all 3 positions.

They don't need perkins if shaq is healthy, j o neal , big davis, and kristac can play 10-15 min a game.

Ok city wanted a rebounder for when westbrook and durant miss. They don't get many rebounds and when is the last time you see ok city pass inside

**killawookie** · 02-24-11, 03:35 PM

Step one of getting a younger team without looking like the Cavs

**MrExacta** · 02-24-11, 03:44 PM

They could still make it.....going younger is always better!

Are you kidding me? The Cetlics big 3 is getting old and they don't have time to wait around. As someone mentioned, Perkins will have probably nagging knee problems in the future.

I just wonder how they are going to incorporate Green into their lineup.

**nastradamus** · 02-24-11, 04:08 PM

The Celtics traded several players, including center Kendrick Perkins on Wednesday, potentially clearing the way to obtain Troy Murphy once he clears waivers. source: rotoworld

**EDDIE MONEY LINE** · 02-24-11, 04:10 PM

What are the C's doing? If we play orlando or lakers in playoffs we need a tough big man like perk. Don't think Shaq is gonna hold together with his old body...

Not sure how this is gonna work out

**Snowball** · 02-24-11, 04:13 PM

Celttics also get the Clips 2012 1st rounder (that OKC acquired in the Eric Bledsoe deal)

**Bswitz32** · 02-24-11, 04:13 PM

I think Jeff Green here is not going to fit in as well..IN OKC he was in the mix and provided.

In BOS I think they already have enough Jeff Greens that he wont be as valuable to them

BOL tonight

**mdemps9190** · 02-24-11, 04:19 PM

Yeah, this is horrible. Erden and nate gone too. Along with harangody. They need to get a good back up guard now, and a good center. Can't say I agree. No power down low now.

How are you getting younger by trading one of your two youngest starters?

**EaglesPhan36** · 02-24-11, 04:21 PM

I think Green was a smart acquisition. Guy can play the 3 or 4 depending on what lineup they want to put out there. KG ain't gonna play forever. Celtics definitely needed to get younger at forward.

**MUHerd37** · 02-24-11, 04:21 PM

Dumb decision by Boston. Who they gonna put down low? Shaq? I don't get it.

**BatemanPatrickl** · 02-24-11, 04:23 PM

Nate Robinson was a detriment to the team. Guy can't shoot to save his life.

**Lint Pockets** · 02-24-11, 04:24 PM

perkins was nothing but a greedy piece of trash who thought he was worth more than he really was. he turned down an offer the celtics made to him recently so f him.

younger at the positions they are old at currently... Like the 2/3/4 where as Green can play all of them...

**Louisvillekid1** · 02-24-11, 04:28 PM

Don't get me wrong for the future i like the trade for both teams, however I just feel they really are hurting their chances to win it all this season. And in today's NBA you can't afford to do that... I had Celtics/ Spurs in the finals and now I don't see C's having a chance to win that series even if they get there...

**Bradyd** · 02-24-11, 04:29 PM

Pretty good move by Boston. Perkins wanted more money, Boston wasn't going to give it to him. Why not trade to get something for him...

**Louisvillekid1** · 02-24-11, 04:30 PM

OK CiTY wasn't going to be able to resign Green anyway, so now they get a hole new look and much more physical... Watch out for Durant and company...

**Lint Pockets** · 02-24-11, 04:30 PM

well i didnt care they traded perkins cause he sucks and his knee is shot but then i just read they also traded erden and harangody so basically all they have for a big man now is shaq which is pretty funny. i dont think the celtics are gonna do sh** this year after the dumb trades they just made, not to mention all they got for erden and harangody was a 2013 second round pick.

**oiler** · 02-24-11, 04:31 PM

damn its tough to replace a big body,at least with prkins they knew what they were getting

Yi · 02-24-11, 04:52 PM

Mind boggling trade

**clip1** · 02-24-11, 04:55 PM

i dont get this move they were saying if Perk was playing last year playoff Celtics would have won, now they trade him, what?

**Broken-Ear Glen** · 02-24-11, 04:55 PM

Well when it comes to the playoffs, if you don't have a big man then you don't win. Simple as that.

**B1GER1C828** · 02-24-11, 04:56 PM

Watch the end of passed games when the C's are battling against someone. Tell me if you see Perkins or Glen Davis in.

Spoiler: you will see Glen Davis in. Perkins was expendable.

Well, I guess Boston is fine. Because last time I checked, they will have about 3 7-footers under the basket now...
