BREAKING: Perkins commits to Cavs

[JT123]

LeGm directly recruited Perkins. Pat Riley who? :pimp:

[navy]

GOATKins :roll:

[dubeta]

:facepalm


Dude flat out sucks


Now before OKC fans try and blame me for back peddling, I've always stated that prime Perkins was a defensive beast and top 5 two-way Center, without him Durant wouldn't have gone so far in the playoffs.

Too bad he is now officially way past his prime, and has no use for the Cavs

Will just take up space

[TheMarkMadsen]

Perkins was recruited directly by LeBron James to pick the Cavs, according to a source.

LEscaredtofail at it again

[Meticode]

LEscaredtofail at it again
Get criticized for not recruiting during first stint, get criticized recruiting second stint. Can't win either way.

[jzek]

Best news of the day!

Cavs championship cruise here we go!!!!!! :rockon:

[chosen_one6]

LEscaredtofail at it again

Because old man Perkins is going to be SUCH a key piece to a championship run.

F*ck outta here salty Ritz cracker ass n*gga

[Budadiiii]

They desperately need his leadership.

Cavs only issue right now is they don't have a good leader. Cavs have a lot of young pieces and Perk will be able to mentor them and shape them into champions.

If Cavs do wind up winning this year, I think a lot of credit will go to Perkins because of the leadership he will bring.

Cavs continue to stack the deck.

[BlazerRed]

Perkins? Cavs no excuses.

[Trollsmasher]

The long anticipated match of LeBron vs Silverback can finally happen:applause:

[RoundMoundOfReb]

LOL LeBron is so ****ing Alpha.

You're blantly trolling or just ignorant. He was never a great offensive center, ever, at any point in his career.

He probably wont play. But the Cavs have no backup center.

[Budadiiii]

Perkins? Cavs no excuses.
That doesn't even need to be said anymore. Not only do they have no excuses but they are the prohibitive favorite to win it all.

Not only should they win it all, but they should do it in dominating fashion. Anything but a 16-1 or 16-2 run in the postseason will be a disappointment.

[Foster5k]

Perkins: "Hello?"

LeBron: "Yo, this is LeBron."

Perkins: "Whats up?"

LeBron: "PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE JOIN THE CAVS!

Perkins: "Uh, I'll think about it."

LeBron: "PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MAN!

Perkins: "I told you. I'll think about it. BYE!"

LeBron: "PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE......"

Perkins hangs up.

Isn't a cracker and nigg@ two different things? Fail?

[Jud]

You guys are acting like Kendrick Perkins is some legendary center :oldlol:

He's a trash's trash. Only thing aside from his defense that he'll bring is his whiny mouth and dumbass fouls.

[MP.Trey]

Welcome Perk. Another big body and someone with championship experience. As long as hedoesn't play major minutes and knows his role he should be great.

Perkins has the highest winning percentage of any active player who has played over 164 games.

The one thing the Cavs needed was an enforcer/intimidator. Perkins will be the perfect fit. If Perk wins a ring with Bron how much of a hit will Durant's legacy take? :lol

[Meticode]

People close to the Cavs are just saying he's insurance if anyone goes down. If one big goes down we're thin again.

He didn't fit with our team. We needed someone who could score in the paint. Cavs already have that with Mozgov and Love is a highly skilled PF who puts the ball in the basket.

Plus, we didn't need his leadership. That's something the Cavs desperately need. Adding Perkins is huge and if you don't agree then you don't know sports. Period.

that's the same percentage as Mozgov since coming to Cavs

I am sure both Love and Thompson are above 50%. And while Perk is not a great rebounder, he is excellent at boxing out so that could help with d-boards too

Perkins is a waste of money. Why don't NBA teams sift through the D League and find some talent. The difference between Perk and Jason Collins is their facial expressions. That is it. He's a bum. Brings nothing.

Perkins had a ring long before LeBron decided to quit on his home state and form a super team in a terribly weak conference.

Lebron is like Son Goku. He turned enemies into teammates.

[RedBlackAttack]

Perkins is an excellent pickup at this point. He had been playing 20 minutes a game every night for the last two years in OKC. Obviously, that's far from ideal given where he's at in his career. Yeah, if you play him that many minutes every night, he's going to have some really bad moments.

His role will be very different in Cleveland. We badly needed an insurance policy for if/when Mozgov gets in foul trouble or the normal rotation of Timo, KLove and Tristan is interrupted for whatever reason. That's what Perkins will be ... an insurance policy.

He'll be lucky to play 10 meaningful minutes most nights. But, we know that if something happens to Mozgov or Thompson or Love, we've got someone with experience who can step in and give us minutes.

Also, when guys aren't forced to do more than they should every night, they tend to play a lot better when they are called upon. He'll be in a much more comfortable position here. A veteran leader who will spend most of the time on the bench... but provides a "break the glass" option if a problem comes up.

Can't ask for much more at this point in the season.

I just can't understand why an old school guy perkins chose a team with lebron and how he said no to two former coaching staff.

seeing a recent tweet, I think this was to spite Durant. Something must of happened there, I don't think Durant is friends with lebron anymore either.

He should help you guys though. Perkins gets a bad wrap, but he will be handy with your lack of bigs.

You're looking too much into it. To spite Durant? Get out of here.

Perk just wants to win and the Cavs give him the best shot. Period. He feels he can walk in and become a leader for the younger guys.

He should help you guys though. Perkins gets a bad wrap, but he will be handy with your lack of bigs.
The reason is simple ... he has more of a chance to get on the court here and, without sounding too overconfident (I'm really not), as good or a better chance at a title than any other option. Obviously, any grudges Perkins held toward LeBron didn't extend beyond the lines of the basketball court ... in which case there is no reason for him not to come here.

Also, this isn't just LeBron's team. Perk joins a pretty nice list of veteran players who are widely respected and liked across the league ... Mike Miller, Shawn Marion, James Jones.

Also, a chance to serve as mentor to a young, likeable big like Tristan Thompson? I'm more excited for what Perk brings from a leadership standpoint than anything he does on the court, tbh. He was beloved on that OKC team. Durant broke down in tears during his MVP acceptance last year when he started talking about Perk.

It makes a lot of sense, imo.

Timo has a tendency to get into foul trouble and there are times where it's noticeable when he's holding back because he's scared to foul.

I just can't understand why an old school guy perkins chose a team with lebron and how he said no to two former coaching staff.

seeing a recent tweet, I think this was to spite Durant. Something must of happened there, I don't think Durant is friends with lebron anymore either.

He should help you guys though. Perkins gets a bad wrap, but he will be handy with your lack of bigs.
Tell us more, seeing as you are obviously so well informed on the personal friendships of the NBA's top stars. :rolleyes:

People simply want to play with LeBron. I was very surprised that Marion was willing to join the Cavs because I thought he had beef with LeBron, but I'm guessing most of the beef players have with LBJ is simply on court, but it seems like most are willing to play for his teams

[GOBB]

So... this thread has become about, what? Trolls? Again?

Great.

I apologize for that. Couldn't resist putting that weirdo in his place. But I guess for Clev Perk fits because of his experience? Whereas actually going to the D League and grabbing a big body is a crap shoot? I dunno, just feel its a waste of money. Not that money is the issue. It's like why give Perk a chance over a younger guy. Perk is like a rehashed coach. He's virtually useless on offense. A liability. You can say we dont need him to score but the fact he's so bad his man can shade off him. What's so good about him? He's not a rim protector, shot alter type. Not a good passer. I dont get it. Not saying Clev could find them a Whiteside. But even my Sixers found a Henry Sims. :confusedshrug:

Any Cavs/LeBron thread has become completely unreadable lately. Mostly, trolls like Budadiii unwilling to discuss the topic at hand and just engaging other posters into some kind of "competition" argument... just pathetic.

I'm not sure why people are saying this is an excellent move.
Perkins and "Excellence" don't belong in the same sentence.

But it is a good move. They just need him for maybe 10 minutes a game to protect the paint with Mozgov on the bench. He's also a good screen setter, and has that veteran presence. He's not going to give you 10 ppg or anything, but he is the type of player the Cavs could use... even over a guy like Ray Allen, IMO

[Fudge]

Just gonna end it here, doe.

No excuses. Y'all just signed a defensive juggernaut. 16-0 in the playoffs or bust.

Henry Sims was traded to the Sixers from the Cavs in the Spencer Hawes deal last year. I know ole' Henry very well. I'd rather have Perk, tbh. :lol


Doing the D-League thing is fine for a young rebuilding team or a borderline playoff team that wants to make a gamble. The Cavs are not that team. We were possibly an insurance policy center away from a title.

I think you're underestimating Perkins. He has averaged 20 minutes a night the last two years playing on a really good Western Conference team. Yes, he had his problems, but OKC was also really good during his time there and he was a part of their every night rotation.

His role here will be much smaller and more limited... befitting of where he is in his career. And, he will bring another veteran presence to the locker room that is a combination of experience (James, Miller, Jones, Marion) and really young guys (Kyrie, Love, Tristan, Shump).

We've basically been playing all season without a backup center. Tristan was playing the role as both backup PF and backup C. This will also free him up a bit.

I'm trying to be as subtle as I possibly can over the last couple days that this needs to change. Or, people will be going away.

Cavs now have no weakness. Their only weakness was interior D but they've covered that with Perkins. Mozgov and Thompson are underrated in that regard anyway.... but Perkins is a game changer.

Agreed. If you look at the thread on RGM about Perkins on the Cavs, it's actually readable.

RBA, is there any news on Varejao's recovery?
He's out of his walking boot and apparently moving around on the leg. Obviously, we won't see him on the court again until next year, but I just read yesterday that his recovery is going well. Adding him next to Mozgov and Tristan next year is going to be awesome. That's exactly the role he was meant to play. And, much less chance of injury with a reduced role.

[Legends66NBA7]

@topic:
perkins is underrated because he frees up love and thompson to play PF only which matches their games much better. This means less effort for love defensively and that he'll be able to concentrate more on the glass ... which is exactly what love is already doing in the 20 mins mozgov is on the court, but now he'll be able to do it for an extra 15 mins, that is ... everytime he is on the floor.
It will also make mozgov more aggressive.
Porkins will get at least 12-15 mins a game, he is more than insurance.

if varejao comes back the cavs frontline rotation will really clobber the living fck out of any other frontline. Add in the rest of their talent and they are scary as hell. If they get something decent from a haywood trade that'd be a retardedly strong team.


Intersting observation:
The cavs are quite similar to the late 08-09-10 lakers:
- HUGE frontcourts with a variety of decent players,
- an aging but still MVP level star
- alot of complementary talent.
Nobody wants to play such teams in the playoffs, they'll have stretches where quick teams give them problems but in the long run they will wear teams down (especially series).

[jzek]

10 pages about a so-called 'scrub' :oldlol:

[RedBlackAttack]

So, this looks like the rotation we're going to have heading into the playoffs...

PG - Kyrie Irving, Matthew Dellavedova
SG - JR Smith, Iman Shumpert
SF - LeBron James, Shawn Marion(?)
PF - Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson
C - Timofey Mozgod, Kendrick Perkins


Looks pretty good to me. I love the versatility of our backcourt guys. Kyrie and Delly can play/defend either the 1 or the 2 and JR Smith can even handle/pass reasonably well for his position. I've already seen Shump successfully defend three positions. In fact, the reason I put a question mark next to Marion is because he hasn't even been playing at all lately. Blatt has been subbing out LeBron and either playing Shump or JR at the 3 or going big.

It seems like Marion, Miller and Jones are all completely out of the rotation at the moment. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised, though, if that changes at some point in the playoffs. I think Miller, particularly, could still have one or two more incredible shooting series left in him. It sort of feels like Blatt is just shelving him for the moment, until the time is right and he's needed as a spacer in the postseason.

All the talk about a backup PG and they still haven't made a move for one. I'm not expecting one to be added now that we filled a roster spot with Perk. Adding another PG would now mean losing Joe Harris, who I still think could be a good player down the line, or one of Miller, Jones or Marion. You don't want to upset the apple cart like that with things going so well.

So, the roster you see above is likely what the Cavs will take into the playoffs. I'm satisfied. In the playoffs, they say you play eight guys, but trust seven. Those seven are likely LeBron, Kyrie, Love, Mozgov, Tristan, JR, Iman, and Delly.

[TwentyThree]

Jason Lloyd said in one of his latest articles that Marion is dealing with some hip issues, and has been sitting a lot because he wants to be ready to go come playoff time, so he might be in the rotation

[hahaitme]

I dont know who would argue otherwise, except you.

[sportsfan76]

That doesn't even need to be said anymore. Not only do they have no excuses but they are the prohibitive favorite to win it all.

Not only should they win it all, but they should do it in dominating fashion. Anything but a 16-1 or 16-2 run in the postseason will be a disappointment.

Mozgov/Perk

[T_L_P]

Damn, that's a shame.

Wanted to root for Perk, but can't do it now. :(

[KG215]

If he's not starting then he's actually a pretty solid back-up center. I thought, for the most part, he did fine this year as our back-up center. I mean, yeah, he still Perk'd things up from time-to-time, but he wasn't nearly as bad as when he was a starter getting 30ish minutes per game.

[sportsfan76]

This Cavs team with Perkins is not good enough to beat none of the Top teams in the Western Conference so why is this thread still open?

You have to understand, that lebron is one of the most disliked/criticized players in the game.

You knew when the lebron show rocked up, that there would be unwelcome conversation about him and here we are.

To ban people because they won't play along with the lebron d.cksucking that occurs in Cavs threads like this, is kind of pushing a power trip.

Perkins? Bran stans get another excuse.

[ILLsmak]

Get criticized for not recruiting during first stint, get criticized recruiting second stint. Can't win either way.

Hey, I've never seen someone recruit so hard. Dude is like coach cal out there.

But I mean, it works, people listen. It's just amazing how he can pull his arch-enemies like Marion and Perk. Maybe he's giving them money under the table or something.

It's still kinda wack that dudes are like... I'll go play w/ Bron. But as I said, it's unprecedented, so I guess it's amazing he can pull it off.

[funnystuff]

They desperately need his leadership.

Cavs only issue right now is they don't have a good leader. Cavs have a lot of young pieces and Perk will be able to mentor them and shape them into champions.

If Cavs do wind up winning this year, I think a lot of credit will go to Perkins because of the leadership he will bring.

Cavs continue to stack the deck.
haha, you're an absolute f*cking retard

[Kingwillball]

This move really gives the cavs versatility. When love was hurt against Bulls last week they were forced to go real small at times now cavs have option and versatility to go big and stay big or go smaller depending on matchup and strategy. Depending on team they now can match or force another teams hand with lineups. :applause:

How is it unprecedented when Kobe recruited Steve Nash, Matt Barnes and Ron Artest, 3 clear cut enemies?

You can include when Jordan recruited Rodman.

[Kingwillball]

This Cavs team is still not better than the 2014 Heat team so why the hell is this up for discussion?

Easily better .. Deeper, bigger , younger , healthier ect..

[ArbitraryWater]

You have to understand, that lebron is one of the most disliked/criticized players in the game.

You knew when the lebron show rocked up, that there would be unwelcome conversation about him and here we are.

To ban people because they won't play along with the lebron d.cksucking that occurs in Cavs threads like this, is kind of pushing a power trip.

Ban lebronxrings/dubeta/dragic4life and be done with it. No one else here deserves to be banned.

If you're thinking of banning budaddii because he's stirring the pot and annoying you, that isn't what a mod is there for. CavaliersFTW trolls hard when he wants to, so if you are to ban budaddii, you might as well ban all the Cavs/lebron trolls too.


The people complaining about derailed threads, often are the ones who throw out trolling comments. Not many posters here can claim to be innocent.

The cavs won it all when they traded for Jr Smith aka rich man's Kobe.

[JohnnySic]

Backup center is the role for Perkins. He's always been a backup masquerading as a starter.

This **** doesn't understand irony.

Just realized both of these guys got posterized by Blake a few years back so I guess they have something in common. And LeBron tweeted Blake over Perkins was the dunk of the year when it happened. :oldlol:

Can you lebron d.ckriders take your trolling to another Thread? RBA has asked for no trolling in this thread...

Good for Cavs depth, however some acting like its as big a pickup as Mozzy.

[Lebron23]

He'll only play 15-18 minutes per game.

Who did that?

I don't think a lot of people understood what Mozgov was going to do for this team. Lots of people were questioning giving up two 1sts for him at the time. Truth is, he was easily worth that for us... and probably more.

Perkins, on the other hand, is simply insurance and he was had for nothing but a roster spot. Completely different situation and need.

Mozgov was needed to help turn this team into a legitimate title contender and he cost us our most valuable assets. Perkins was needed to help insure that Mozgov's impact won't be totally and completely lost if he is off the court in a key situation. He cost us nothing.

So Perkins wont really play much?

Cant he be decent as a back up center?

[RedBlackAttack]

I expect him to play 10-15 minutes a game, maybe. Yeah, he'll play. The beauty of having Perkins is that now, when we take Mozgov out of the game, we don't have to "go small." That option is still there with Love/Thompson, Love/LBJ, Thompson/LBJ and toss Marion in there when he gets back healthy. I'm sure we'll still utilize it quite a bit.

But now, unlike before, Blatt actually has the option of taking Mozgov out and not losing the size on the interior. This will allow Thompson to play more at his natural position and Timo the opportunity to sit regardless of the lineup the opposition has on the floor.

Just basically gives the roster much more flexibility. Perkins will play in pretty much every game, I'm sure. But, he won't be out there for 20 minutes a night like he was in OKC. I'm not saying it will never happen, but not consistently.

At least, that's my best guess at the situation. Today's NBA is all about roster flexibility and versatility. The Cavs added something in that category that they didn't have prior (a true backup center). Hell, Blatt could even get crazy occasionally and go with a BIG rotation... LBJ/Shump/Marion/Mozgov/Perkins. That group could literally switch everything and expend very little energy defensively.

Hopefully Perkins can revive his career in Cleveland. Hes only 30

[JerrySeinfeld]

Are Cleveland fans actually excited about this acquisition?

I swear with the way OKC fans were talking, Perkins was a straight up negative everytime he stepped onto the floor

[Funnyfuka]

perkins is fat, dumb and slow. Just a big body than can do nothing but foul. Pretty much like mozgov. They just stand there clogging the paint and doing nothing but fouling and turning the ball over.

Mozgov has been great on the Cavs so far.

Mozgov is skilled and surprisingly athletic try again.
