I wouldn’t trade for a hurt player. Maybe they see more than I do, too many other players of his caliber that are healthy and ready to play.

And when Glen Davis is trying to guard Bynum/Howard because Shaq has 4 fouls in 12 minutes and Jermaine O’Neal is “minor injury, coming back soon” will OKC got the better of the deal?

Right now it seems as if the Celts got the better of the deal – no one forced OC to make the trade.

I hardly think Ainge snuck one by OKC. But if they didnt have a scout at the game to see him suffer the sprain or bother with a physical for Perk they have no one to blame but themselves

Yeah thankfully the Celtics centers are so healthy…wait their centers are Shaq & JO? Oh nevermind.

Even if Kendrick Perkins eventually gets 100% healthy …

It is simply not a foregone conclusion that the Thunder’s new line-up:

STARTERS: Westbrook, Sefolosha, Durant, Ibaka and Perkins
KEY SUBS: Maynor, Cook, Harden, Collison and Mohammed
——————————–
RESERVES: Robinson and Aldrich
——————————–
EXTRAS/OUTS: Ivey and Mullens

is going to play a superior brand basketball compared to its old one:

STARTERS: Westbrook, Sefolosha, Durant, Green and Krstic
KEY SUBS: Maynor, Cook, Harden, Collison and Ibaka
——————————–
RESERVES: Peterson and Aldrich
——————————–
EXTRAS/OUTS: Ivey, DJ White and Mullens

given that Oklahoma no longer has a Big Man on its roster that can consistently “stretch the defense” by making a perimeter jump-shot [e.g. Krstic], or a 3 [e.g. Green], and is still without a proven Big Men who qualifies as a “go-to scorer” with his back-to-the-basket in the low post.

I am not saying that these 2 trades were “bad” for OKC, only that they should by no means be viewed as a certified “slam dunk” … at least, not just yet.

IF thats the case, the C’s pulled a fast one.
