OKC is the definite winner here.
I like the move...We needed a more dominent big man then we needed green...I'm not a fan of nate robinson but I figure we release him at the end of the year anyway, because he was only needed to make the trade for perkins work. ... If perkins can stay healthy this makes us a more realistic title contender, especially since the western conference is trading their better talent to the east...the West is just a bit easier to win now.
Walk on through the wind, walk on through the rain, tho' your dreams be tossed and blown, walk on.
Westbrook is also capable of playing a little bit of 2. If he is comfortable with it, you could put Maynor or Nate in with Russell if you are maybe resting Durant and inserting Harden for scoring. Just a thought. I'm not a bball coach.

nate will be here longer than maynor. i love maynors game...so do several other nba gms. he will be a very wanted commodity this summer and will be traded ill bet.
Beantown offered 4 years for 22 million, Perkins was looking for 4 years at 30 million according to foxsports.com
But this is a huge shift of power in the west. You had the big 3 (no pun intended) with LA, Dallas and San Antone, with the 4th spot up for grabs between OKC, Portland, and Nawlin's. 5 days ago, you would of added the Jazz and the Thuggets, but since they cashed out, they are no longer a worry in my opinion since the Thunder have a 3 1/2 game lead as of now.
And apparently Green was offered an extension but rejected it, which would have allowed him to be a restricted free agent, and I don't think the Thunder would have been able to match what some of those GM's in the East might have been able to offer with Westbrook likely getting a max extension once a new CBA is agreed upon. But a 4 year 30 million deal to Perkins is something that could be manageable, which is even better news because Harden still has two years on his rookie contract, and Ibaka has one I believe (I'm not sure his year overseas counts against his contract? Anyone know?)
As for Perkins, if Presti can get him to sign an extension, that's great, if not, I would assume he'd end up somewhere like Dallas or San Atone?

Boston got raped in this deal. OKC now has a legit big man that can stop Gasol. Plus, they added Nazr Mohammed from the Bobcats; he's another big guy that can rebound and is a solid defender.
Make no mistake about it, the Thunder lost to LA last year due to a lack of big bodies. OKC has just as good of a chance as LA, Spurs or Dallas to win the west. Without this deal they may have won one playoff series, now they are serious contenders.
perkins guards bynum and dominates him, it will be ibaka guarding gasol. a healthy perkins...he was hurt in the series... would of most likely given the celts the title.
Yeah, and that last game Perkins was hurt was in the 7th game. Had Perkins been healthy the Celtics might have won.
Kendrick Perkins signs his contract extension, $34.8M over 4 years. Presti increased his 2010-11 salary by $2.3M to $6.7M and worked the extension off that number. The deal also includes bonus clauses that can increase his contract.
