Fav celtic other than el capitan

they really need to present him with a reasonable offer and make him the 3rd celtic locked in

if he waits till he is 100%, he won’t be back this year. But I see your point. We’ve all seen what can happen when players rush back. The one thing we won’t have to worry about with Perk, though is his work ethic. The other thing is that he’s not an explosive player that relies on a lot of athleticism – just great technique and hard-nosed, grind-it-out grit and effort.

With the knee injury there’s no chance he can be 100% this year. First, he can’t even begin rehab till it’s healed and the swelling is down. Second, rehab will be a slow process. Third, he will probably loose muscle mass and rehab won’t resolve this. I don’t expect him to be 100% till next year, hopefully. But, how often has Perk played at 100%. Plantar Fasciaitis, other physical problems, etc. But Perk, as KG, depends on his legs to play his best so I think the answer is unknown. My prediction is he will be fine next year and may give us some help in the playoffs this year. He will not get into game shape this year, enough to log big minutes. I also don’t think the acquisition of the O’Neill’s will have any effect on Perk’s future with the Celtics. The Celtics are a defensive team first and Perk is the best team defensive player of the three. Shaq will be gone when Perk is really able to play again. And if JO can stay healthy and produce he will be a nice backup. Also, looking ahead, the team will change greatly when KG either retires or his legs just can’t get it done. Much of what makes Perk so good is that he works so well with KG. Perk without KG is still the best defensive Center in the NBA, in my opinion, but he can’t get it done alone. I feel real bad for Perk. He’s one of the really good guys.
