I'm not gonna lie, as much as people hated on Jim I'll miss him a ton. Best to you Perk, hope you sign with a contender out east so you don't face OKC!

Try telling me seven months ago that Reggie and Perk would be packaged and we'd be a little sad that Reggie cost us Perk and I'd have called you crazy. Hope he gets a standing O next time he is at the Peake.

'Get in there girl!'
Perk poses after a jumper
His scowl
His kids after playoff games running the court
His dunk bs Spurs to win western conference

Perk wasn't exactly what we brought him in for, but he did change the dynamic of this team and will hopefully come through here as a coach in the future. There is only one silverback.

People tend to forget how important was Kendrick Perkins in turning this franchise a contender.

Back in 2010-11, and before that, the Thunder used to be bullied inside by any skilled bigmen. If Pau Gasol didn't destroy Green for a single offensive board following a Lakers' FTA, Thunder could've changed the history of the NBA in that year.

Brooks' overplay of him was the thing that destroyed his legacy in OKC and nullified his qualities.

Thanks for the hardwork and low post defense. Defensive clinic put on Duncan in 2012 WCF won't be forgotten by me.

Looks like he's gonna team up w/ Lebron. Best to ya big guy, still don't want the Cavs to win, but if they do I'll see a silver lining.

I'll miss the big guy a lot - as others have said, he really changed the culture of this young team into a hard nosed contender.

I can't help but smile thinking back to all the times Perk would get the ball under the ring and either drop the pass or have it stolen off him. At the time I would cringe and beg for him to never see playing time again, but then you would see his tough demeanour and 120% effort on defense and you couldn't help but root for the guy.

You'll be missed big guy, best of luck in Cleveland.

Perk will be getting another ring in June but hopefully LeBron will tear his ACL and blow out his knee.
