Petey, I feel that you are the voice of reason on BDC... What do you feel the team will look like post big 3?  Based on what we have now.

Here's my core Post Big 3 if we could somehow swing it. PG-Rondo SG-Anthony Morrow SF-Jeff Green PF-Love C-Perk Off the bench - Jason Thompson

Perk is very limited in what he can do.  He will not improve in his ballhandling, scoring, foul shooting, or defense.  He more likely will be worse.  I wish we had him in game seven last year but almost pulled my hair watching him turnover the ball that year.  Shaq is a much more viable weapon at this point. Unfortunately Perk has very little value right now so we are stuck with him.  But I certainly don't mean to say there won't be minutes for him to play and be helpful.

In Response to Re: Perkins looking forward to Free Agency : Man that is some ignorant vomit Perk should hopefully get a 1 year deal at around the same $ he is making this season 4-5 million from us. Maybe just enough of a raise to keep him from other teams MLE $. I see nobody in this climate able to give him more than the MLE and a chance to win. He is a competitor, not a lazy Tim Thomas mercenary. He will prob be offered the MLE from several teams b/c even if he is never quite the 8 point, 9 rebound, 2 blocks in 26 mins guy he was starting w/ KG's arrival, he'd at least be a 5-6.5-1.5 guy in 18-22 mins off the bench and an intimidator/rim defender. If that is what he shows himself to be healthy next year we can keep him for the MLE and maybe get Kaman as a starter summer '12. If Perk elevates his game to the 13.5-11-2.5 guy we always thought he could be, then we can give him like 5/50 and be secure with a 27-28 yr old fully recovered Perk as C of future.

Wow, some have just thrown Perk to the junk pile after a devastating injury. If we had him game 7 we win. The starters have never lost a series with him, why would anyone want to break that up? How quickly we forget. No one plays Howard like Perk. I wouldn't want to leave next year up to Shaq and JON...heck no!!

In Response to Re: Perkins looking forward to Free Agency : If you remember a year in half ago Ainge dangling Perk in a trade but no one bit. So, vomit now!! Ainge knows what I'm talking about. Perks has hands of stones, can't dunk, can't shoot, can't dribble, slow in rotation, prone to get technical, his rebounding is mediocre..then he gives you that tough look but tofu skills.

In Response to Re: Perkins looking forward to Free Agency : Sorry you have no judge of talent, that is a VERY good team would win 45-50 every year and lose in the 2nd rd to one of Miami, Chicago or NY w/ Melo But I don't really see us being able to sign 40 million in players with 10-15 million in space after '12...

In Response to Re: Perkins looking forward to Free Agency : You mean ONLY if he got a top 5 pick in the draft so he could take Stephen Curry, James Harden, or Tyreke Evans and THEN trade Ray's exp contract to get size back?? You mean nobody would give up a top 5 pick future all-star aged 21 for him? Don't bring that "Perk shoulda been traded' vomit if you don't know the situation... you bring a knife to a gun fight Ainge always felt that his Celts shoulda traded McHale for Detelf Schrempf and a 1st rd pick and Parish for Michael Cage and a 1st rd pick... instead they traded him and the Big 3 became a 2nd rd playoff team in '91/'92. Ainge was ready to do what Red never did, when he couldn't get the kinda young talent back to pair with Rondo that Red could have gotten to put with Reggie Lewis, then he signed Sheed and decided to go for another run. You wrongly hate on Perk and are ignorant about situations involving this team... good work

In Response to Re: Perkins looking forward to Free Agency : Then...tell me if this is not true.  Perks has hands of stones, can't dunk, can't shoot, can't dribble, slow in rotation, prone to get technical, his rebounding is mediocre..then he gives you that tough look but tofu skills. He travels 1 or 2 every games. Ask everyone...not just one stupid Take the big 3 out and he will be exposed..... more.

In Response to Perkins looking forward to Free Agency : Let's assess this recipe: There is no player in the league (and therefore the world) where the difference between his actual game his game in his own mind differs more greatly - the difference between his actual game and his perception of his game is simply spackle for the grand canyon.... He somehow has convinced himself that he is one of the "BIG 5" and does not realize that every year there are more of him drafted than other type of stiff - give me Deandre Jordan or Jason Thompson or anyone named Lopez, etc. Stiff hands, bad passer, turnover waiting to happen, no offense, overrated defense - nobody (like Rondo) in the entire league benefits more from who they are playing with than Perkins. I can see the interviews now - um, I can't read or write and I have no hands or offensive skills and mostly I just complain that I have committed 25 fouls per game but only got called for 4, when I finally get to the line from being a black hole in the paint thinking I am Hakeem, Kareem, Wilt, etc. I miss almost half the time - heck if D Howard averages twice as many points and twice as many rebounds and make the same rate of freebies, why should anyone be disappointed. Byebye Perk, give me McGee, Thompson, either Lopez, either Gasol, Howard, Kaman, Bynum, Chandler, Jordan, and a bunch of others and you go test the waters and find out that your thug irrelevance is simply that. KG who is an immature thug and happens to have tremendous skills has rubbed off on idiots who think they have some sort of game - they don't. A lot was made about how KG has habitually bullied European players but for some reason the race card was not played - Good God Almighty if some Euro landed and n-bomb on KG. The NBA is a fairly decent representation of "you get what you pay for" and Perk will disappoint whatever GM is the idiot that signs him to a contract anywhere north of what he is currently making. IMHO the MVP is 3rd in the league in voting for guards and somehow Rondo has missed a 3rd of the season and is 2nd in voting..... just try, try, try, try - aaannnnkkkkk - Celtics fans...... Rose is the MVP of the league and somehow Rondo with his ugly stats is second in voting where Rose is 3rd...... Rondo tries to make sure his scoring average goes down and pile up assists and is AFRAID to go to the line where point guards earn their pay (D WIlliams was 13 of 13 last night), he routinely passes up layups to make sure he is not missing shots, not missing freebies, not missing routine jumpers, and not missing 3s... Can there be any worse shooter in the league who routinely puts pressure on his team to score than Rondo? Perkins...... 8 points and 8 rebounds and a t every 5 games and a black hole on offense and bad hands and bad feet and a completely unwarranted scowl that the refs laugh at.......... "oh that is Perkins, he is a stiff and benefits from KG, Doc, Pierce, Allen, etc." so no foul.... unless of course he actually does something against the rules - ...um.... which he always does - oh but wait, he cant read or write so how can we expect him to know the rules....... The BIG 3 remain the BIG 3 until and unless they are not healthy - KG has gone down so for the time being they are done.  The chasm of talent between the BIG 3 and the rest of the team is completely immeasrable................. Perk we hate to see you go unless and of course we can land any number of another dozen centers that will take our team to a different level. Good luck with  your ebonics classes.... the Texas drawl and 89 IQ is not really all that impressive.....hopefully u have saved ur $ 4 ut family

"Racist trash" all you can say Rame....nothing else. When the truth speaks, all you do is call names.  Stop calling names...  That's it for me.
