guess they might as well

would like. obv he would be there solely to chase around joe johnson, lebron and kobe in some order, pp can still guard them but stopping lebron obviously leaves him totally drained (see 0-10 last week)

but not sure cs have anything resembling an asset to give up at this point, right?

draft pick

rip fun tymes

Perk was the soul of this team. Seriously bummed, and don't know why they needed to do it since they cleared roster slots with Luke and Semih.

I forgot - Go screw Nate! Don't let Shaq's big shoe hit you in the ass on your way out.

brain can compute why this trade was made, but heart knows it's wrong nonetheless.

i think ainge srsly underestimated the effect this will have on team morale, and how this will translate into performance.

ok look, i'll be honest. i love perk. i hate this trade. fuck i hate it.

tbh I think they will look back on this trade as the beginning of the decline of this celtics team

you guy realize perk barely played so far this season right

idk the "beginning of the decline" was a bit inevitable, what with all of them being elderly

i hate this trade and i hate ainge!!!

I mean not just about outcomes on the court - this will be the point where the organizational culture, the mission, starts going hill, it'll be easy for sportswriters to latch onto this as the turning point when they blow up the celtics a few years from now

they'll see this as when the c's jumped the shark, basically

unless they win it all

#whereamazinghappens

if they win it all again I guess they can go visit perk down in oklahoma

maybe egg his house or something

Boston trades Kendrick Perkins and Nate Robinson to Oklahoma City for Jeff Green and Nenad Krstic.

• View deal in ESPN's Trade Machine

Oklahoma City Thunder: B
The Thunder finally took some chips off their huge stack and threw them into the center of the table, dealing two starters to upgrade their interior defense and promote Serge Ibaka. I wrote about the transformation more extensively earlier, but the risk is that Perkins may fly the coop as a free agent. Even then Oklahoma City will be partially covered because it will have cap space, but if so it loses a valuable draft pick belonging to the Clippers for just half a season of Perkins. Robinson is more a minus than a plus in this deal, as he'll cost more than $4 million next season and is unlikely to see more than spot duty as a fifth guard.

Boston Celtics: B
Everyone in Beantown is puzzled by this deal, but the Celtics desperately needed a wing and had a surplus of centers. Obviously, dealing Perkins was a risk, and getting the Clippers draft pick is of questionable value for a team trying to win a title right now. I wrote more about the move here, but suffice it to say I can understand the logic as long as the Celtics think it's the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs, not the Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Lakers, who present the greatest threats to their title hopes this season.
Thunder bulk up with Mohammed

Boston trades Semih Erden and Luke Harangody to Cleveland for a second-round pick.

• View this deal in the ESPN Trade Machine

Cleveland Cavaliers: B
I don't think Erden is much of a player, but I can at least understand the Cavs' mentality here: They would use a second-round pick this summer to get a true center to back up Anderson Varejao anyway. Paying Harangody next season is likely just the price of it -- although, he may be competent enough to pass as a fourth or fifth big man. Cleveland also had to waive Leon Powe to clear a roster spot for the trade.

Boston Celtics: C+
Trading Erden is an odd response for a team with a rash of frontcourt injuries that hopes to contend right away. Obviously, Boston hopes to use the roster spots on waived or bought-out veterans, such as Golden State's Troy Murphy, but they already created one by shipping Marquis Daniels to Sacramento. A second-round pick from Cleveland has some value -- actually more value than Erden, I would argue -- but the time horizon here is the problem. Boston's window is right now.
Kings take on injured Daniels

Boston trades Marquis Daniels to Sacramento for a protected 2017 second-round pick and cash considerations.

Sacramento Kings: B+
This was a no-brainer. As ESPN.com's Marc Stein reported, the Kings were under the league's salary floor, which means having Boston pay them to take Daniels cost them less than nothing -- they were going to pay out extra money to players otherwise; instead, Boston is doing it. It's possible they can also parlay a small asset from a sign-and-trade with Daniels this summer, but this was mainly a money deal.

Boston Celtics: B+
A nice way to wriggle out of some luxury-tax money, as the Celtics essentially pay Sacramento to take Daniels, who was unlikely to play the rest of this season because of a spinal injury. That's the NBA for you -- Boston paid Sacramento to take Daniels, but both teams profited from it thanks to the cap and luxury tax rules.

is chris johnson the new guy from d-league? cuz yeeesh

nm it was WAFER

haha 'von wafer'
