I just don't see why they gave up so much for somebody who's going to be sitting on the bench in the 4th quarter. Perkins, while not a statistical freak, was one of the best pick and roll defenders out there and epitomized the Celtics' defense. Guys like KG have called Perkins the anchor to the defense. Wasn't this the guy who would've made all the difference in game 7? I guess not.
They didn't have Shaq, either, though. Shaq is better than Perk, even now. He's got more of a presence and he is a smarter offensive and defensive player... as well as having the hype to get away with more stuff like hard fouls that don't get called intentional.

Again, do you really expect Shaq to hold down the fort for 40 minutes a night? What happens when he goes to the bench?

If you're going to war against Odom/Bynum/Gasol or Dwight Howard you want more than a jumpshooting euro C, a halfway retired JO, or a "i can run the court twice in a game" shaq.
I recall Perkins being eaten alive by Dwight Howard last time Boston played Orlando. I also recall Dwight eating his lunch on many other occasions.

I wish the Celtics had done this LAST year, before their playoff matchup against the Cavs!

Re: Perkins to OKC, Green to BOS
Media are saying what are Boston's thoughts on this trade ?
Granted Perkins was a board man and filler in the paint ..
The loss for the Celtics this season is actually Nate .
he was huge in backing up Rondo.
What did the Celtics get in return ::::::::
Green a prolific scorer who will replace "the Truth"
Yep - If Boston wins it all this year I expect Pierce to retire either this year or next season.
Next year Boston , Heat , Knicks will all be looking for a young center , and they will all be converging on Jorden from the LA Clippers.

Why in the world would you want to rely apon the health of Shaq and Jermaine O'Neal going into the post-season? Terrible.
Perkins is arguably the best 1-1 post defender in the league, and exceptional on the pick and roll as well.
I know the Celtics lost Marquise Daniels, but Big Depth >>>> Wing depth. Terrible Move in my opinion.
Pretty much this. Don't know what else to say. So for now on, when D-Wade or Lebron blow right past Pierce in Allen in the Playoffs, it will no longer be Perkins in the paint waiting for them. Its going to be this guy...
I bet they're shitting bricks.

Good college starter
Re: Perkins to OKC, Green to BOS
@ Perk being "ok".
We get it Stro, you don't think Perkins is good. 95% of Celtic fans disagree with you and we watch him night in and night out.

No, I mean I assumed it was sarcasm. I just didn't understand the point of it? I didn't remember denying that the Bulls have been hurt?

Nor did I say you denied it, just saying if you're considering big men winning the playoffs you may want to be a little worried yourself.

I'll go to war with Noah/Thomas/Asik and Boozer/Gibson over the Celtic bigs, as they stand. Thanks Noah,asik,and Gibson are great defenders.

If you say so. I'll stick with a hungry Shaq & Garnett over all 5, but each to their own
