Hendo ($6M) + Biz ($3.8M) for Perkins (9.6 M) + McGary (1.4)
Now, OKC would probably hang up on this offer since they appear to love Perkins and McGary, but depends on how desperate they are to stay afloat during these injuries. Perkins is a 9.6M expiring, who would be a strong backup Center for one season, but the reason I would totally do this trade is to nab McGary. OKC always seemed like a good fit for Hendo, and a team that would like the springy Biz. Imagine him next to Ibaka?
OKC wont do that. They want Collison and Perkins to retire with them which is why they have never traded or amnestied Perkins.
Remember, they are a young franchise and come from that Spurs pipeline. They are trying to create the same thing Spurs and Pat Riley have created. Part of that is having retired vets of the franchise working within the organization.
