Celtics fans need to have faith that something is brewing behind the scenes. I don't know what, but hopefully something. Even with the trade deadline passed.
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.
Christ, some of you overrate the hell out of Kenrick Perkins. I love this deal for Boston. Perkins is a liability on offense and Boston's D is still elite without him. Jeff Green will help their bench unit put the ball in the basket, something they really struggle to do. Nenad Krstic can hit the J so someone has to guard him when he's on the floor. 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!
I don't understand getting rid of Marquis for cash. I don't understand it.
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???
Re: Perkins to OKC, Green to BOS
Green is no scrub.
