With Perkins out 2-3 weeks before ever playing a game with the Thunder,what impact would he of had with the Cs had he not been traded............NONE!!! Danny Boy once again fleeced another GM and has set up the C's not only for THIS season, but the future!The key to this season has always been a healthy O'Neal or 2 and still is....loved ya Perk but thanks for the happy returns

You make a really good point.  Perk was not a factor when Shaq and a half a Jermaine were keeping us at the highest winning percentage of the year.

So where are all the fools who were screaming at the departure of future Hall of Famer Kendrick Perkins now that more pieces of Danny's Grand Scheme have fit into place.Recognize that we as Boston Area sports fans are witness a coup of the sporting landscape,PATS,CELTS ,SOX,BRUINS are dominating the current sports scene due to shrew manueverings by some of the best personnel men in the business.They may not all end up in Rings and Parades,but we are going to be in the dead of peoples A>S>S>>E>S for the next decade............."Oh Danny Boy............"
