magicbalala245 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 (edited) I know the tweet doesn't say that but specifically you know the Big 4 is livid by this deal when Adrian says Boston veterans As you'd expect, Celtics vets are livid over trade of Kendrick Perkins, sources say. He's the tough guy, enforcer. But BOS can't pay him. Edited February 24, 2011 by magicbalala245 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboveLegit Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I heard Rondo was his closest friend, so I imagine he's enraged by this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Truth Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 the trade makes no sense eitherlol it makes total sense. OKC gets the big man they've been looking for and some energy off the bench in Nate. Boston gets a big spark off the bench in Green, which is nice for them since Daniels is done.

AboveLegit Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Let's not forget guys, by 2012 the Celtics will have a total of 2 players under contract, Rondo and Pierce..(maybe Bradley, if they decide to keep him). Dwight Howard to Beantown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboveLegit Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Nate on KPerkins: "He's taking it pretty hard because he's been here 8 years. He was real emotional, crying.

Boston gets a big spark off the bench in Green, which is nice for them since Daniels is done.Boston doesn't need a "spark" off the bench, they already have the most depth in the east by far. When Perkins is said to be the reason they lost the Finals last year, one of the best defensive enforcers, and a rebounding machine, you don't trade him when you will be facing Dwight, Noah, Amare, etc in the playoffs. Who should they start at center now? A 40 year old Shaq? Boston just made themselves so much more vulnerable to Miami, NY, Chicago, and Orlando.

Dwight Howard to Beantown.hmm... interesting. Boston doesn't need a "spark" off the bench, they already have the most depth in the east by far.

Who should they start at center now? A 40 year old Shaq? Boston just made themselves so much more vulnerable to Miami, NY, Chicago, and Orlando.they'll have their options with Shaq, Jermaine, and Kristic. Shaq can still produce. he's putting up more points and blocks than Perkins this year, granted, he's played a lot more. you mentioned Dwight, Noah, and Amare. Shaq can guard Dwight - maybe not as well as Perkins, but he can get it done. imo, Boston's a much better team than Orlando, so they'd beat them in a best of seven series with or without Perkins. Shaq would overpower Noah like he did last year in the first round of the playoffs. Chicago's not a huge threat to Boston, at least not yet. KG can handle Boozer and Shaq's got size and strength on Noah. KG could probably guard Amare and Shaq would have no problem with Turiaf. Boston still has some good big men. just because Shaq is old, doesn't mean he can't play anymore. they just have to hope him and JO stay healthy, which is the biggest concern.

The Truth Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Its his dumbass fault for not signing the extension which was clearly a fair offer. I hate the dude, cry moar porkins. but yeah, I think he should have accepted their offer. if I was him, I'd definitely take a small discount to play with that team. maybe he thought they'd eventually offer him more money, though. no one was expecting him to get traded today. either way, this hurts. the C's are my second favorite team and I have a special place in my heart for Perkins and Nate. watching 'The Association' on NBA TV, I could see this team was like a family. they had to break it up, though, and it's a shame they couldn't all get through this year together.

JYD Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 I thought that was a bad, bad deal for the Celtics. One of the first times I can remember saying that about a Danny Ainge move... But, seriously, how will you compete with Gasol and Bynum now if you were to face them in the Finals....LOL......Jeff Green and Nenad Kristic? Riiiiight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moeroadkill Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 tbh i think krstic will surprise alot of people he will probably start for the rest of the season, rondo will get him a ton of open looks all he has to do in knock them down. he is pretty solid defensively, his not perk but his decent, uses his length and body well.
