He had size and girth and is a banger down low and it was idiotic for the C's to get rid of him at that time.

What are you talking about?

First of all, the Celtics lost to LA in 2010, not 2009 (Lakers-Magic).
Second of all, the Celtics didn't get rid of him until 2011; he played in the 2010 Finals but blew out his ACL in game 6.

I get the Perkins hate but when I think "worst ever" names like Michael Olowokani and Kwame Brown come to mind not Kendrick Perkins.

Everything goes my way and I am sure this year OKC will have trouble getting past a few teams. Harden was BIG against the Spurs, let's see how far OKC gets this year.

OT: Why do you have both a Lakers and a Heat logo in your signature? Yet you live in Toronto?

I live in Toronto (huge fan of the V. Carter era). I love Kobe and the Lakers (West). But I took my passion to south beach and joined the Miami Heat. So yeah lol.

Wow..

As far as Perkins goes If I were OKC I would literally think about starting Collins over him and giving Thabeet more mins. Perkins is just so useless out on the floor that it's just funny...

Imagine if the Thunder had Tiago Splitter in the middle. Better finisher, just as good of a passer, greatly improved foul shooter. The post D would weaken a bit but the pick and roll D would be pretty good.

Sold. I'd like gift wrapping and you can put the receipt in the bag. San Antonio's too old, time to blow it up, starting today.

Kwame brown would actually be an improvement on a lot of nights.

Only players with near legendary defensive prowess can pull this off - Ben Wallace, Dikembe Mutombo, etc. Perkins isn't a strong enough defender to justify his paltry offensive contributions.

Bruce Bowen could knock down corner threes, that and not turning the ball over makes him a Kevin Durant level efficient when compared to Perkins.

All of you are really overrating perk.

Probably not the worst ever but has a case for one of the worst that play significant minutes. Him logging 25 minutes a game is a joke.

It's "my" most hated player, he should probably get to decide.
On the other hand, if Perkins isn't he answer, something IS wrong.

Who was going to trade for Perkins???

Nobody will, that's why they should've amnestied them. It must be brutal to be an OKC fan watching Harden blow up, and missing out on having a dynasty with the most productive perimeter trio of all time.

No worries, they have Martin, who they say is just as good.

Perkins still have use. I think they kept him for Howard, Marc Gasol, Duncan, those Denver centers.

SweetTouch · Post #52 » by **SweetTouch** » Sat Mar 2, 2013 3:47 pm

Well if they kept him for that, he should only be playing against those teams...

/remembers the days Joel was the token Center for the Heatles

McIlvaine started for the 97 sonics. Before that they had Ervin Johnson playing major minutes.

The only good thing that Perkins does well is frowning.

He's a bum

Well right now Perkins is absolutely terrible but you have to remember he was a better player before the injury in the Finals. So he's not terrible just because
but yeah. His future should be a backup center

Perkins literally serves no purpose on the basketball court.

I'm pretty sure that was meant as a DISS, not a compliment.

It certainly was, and that's where the overrating comes in.
