    I said current centers as in ones playing right now. Shaq is injured.

    I don't know how tall Krstic is actually, but I was talking about Baby.

    Trading one of the best bigs for scrubs when you're trying to win right now and NOT in the future? Makes sense.

    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.

    Of course you can. They're bought out, not traded.

You didn't even have to pay attention to Perkins outside of five feet.
    Yeah, I guess. It's still difficult to take in though I guess.

    That Clips pick could be useful, you never know. If it comes through as low 10s in the 2012 draft we could get a winner, or move up potentially too. Theres definitely plenty of upside to the deal, certainly. I think its just difficult because no one saw this coming.

    One thing is for sure: Portland and OKC got A LOT better today. A little strength added to the western conference today after the Williams/Anthony departures to the east. Definitely not on the level of those superstars but certainly enough to keep things interesting. OKC is SCARY now. So much size up front, scoring punches off the bench... they're a force to be reckoned with and wouldn't be shocked to see them finish third in the west.

    Yeah people need to stop acting like they just lost Perkins for the season and got nothing out of it. Their defense has been fine without him and they needed wing depth/scoring that Green will provide. Though I wouldn't feel as confident about their title chances until we see how effective Green is off the bench.

    This trade is a bigger shocker to me than the Williams to Nets trade.Perkins must be more injured than thought or Ainge really thinks this can work but only time will tell.

    I'm really happy for OKC, literally the perfect moves. Even if they don't go far this year, the Spurs/Lakers will only slow down in the coming years.

    I already liked OKC and now I like them more since they have Perk!

    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.

    I don't understand getting rid of Marquis for cash. I don't understand it.

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

    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???
