Heat Will Pursue Perkins

I don’t know how Perkins can look good to anyone right now. He has absolutely no lift in his legs. It’s good that his game is build around strength and not high-flying, but he still has ways to go before he’s back to his pre-injury shape.

hes getting his shot blocked at will even by guards but right now he has no lift and is kinda out of basketball shape. another 10 15 games he will be ok. he looks good as far as body shape but on the court it not there yet. just his presence makes a difference, he can still rebound but legs are not there.

If we dont sign perkins, I c we get howard because, i dont see perkins doing so well without the big 3 when there gone. As in joking wise!?!? Rivers said hes gonna put all 4 at the same time. So which means hes gonna put howard with them cuz hes the closet free agent. But Can you just imagine howard on a green uniform playing with kg, pierce, ray on there last years. Then Kg telling howard stop messing around and be tuff. Cuz i dont wanna wait again and be all depress when the c’s are not good. Thats when the clinic and superman will take over the C’s. Anything is possibls!!! Im gonna pray for that big time.

Time for a 21st century Rosetta Stone

with the lockout, it may not even be a problem. But DA is a genius when it comes to paying free agents what they are worth (JO aside). With the CBA as it is now, I see him as $8 million a year player. But there’s no telling what it might be next season.

… like letting Cowens go to the Knicks after the ‘74 title. Don’t let it happen!

all that lovey-dovey friendship building nonsense, I can’t see it from Perk

perk is not a dominant scorer…or a good scorer. and he’s coming off a torn knee. i think the most teams would offer is multiple years at the MLE or slightly above. i see almost no chance of perk not being a lifer, or at least an almost-lifer in boston. so long as teams aren’t offering him $10m or higher per year, i see him in boston green next year.

I don’t get it. He’s not going to the Heat, period. I don’t understand why anyone would even be remotely concerned about that idea. He already has a ring (and hopefully a second by this summer), so the idea of taking less money to play with LeBron and Co. isn’t going to appeal to him.

Furthermore, at his age, he’s going to be looking to make the most money possible. If Danny beats the MLE offer, it won’t be a problem. And he will do that.

The only concern is some crappy team will come around and offer him a ton of cash. But I don’t really see that happening either. Perkins isn’t going to make a bad team a title contender and if teams are going to have even less money to play with, no one is going to spend big bucks on him.

Another quick thought while we’re on the topic, the new CBA could be the best thing to ever happen to the Celtics. I’d love to see the MLE eliminated. It would kill Miami’s chances of winning a title in the near future and would hurt any team that still needs more pieces. It wouldn’t hurt us, though, since we have everything in place.

And by the time the Big Three retire, it’ll be easier to rebuild as the good teams won’t be able to hoard good players (like we’ve done).

we all love perk because he’s ours. when it comes time to do business both danny and perk will do what.s in their best interests. if danny doesn’t want him, i think he’ll trade him before the contract is up. if no trade , danny will try to keep him. perk is a good soldier but no savior.

anything must be done to stop the Heatles and evil Riley

Maybe we can do a sign & trade involving 3 teams that also involves Dallas. Do you guys think getting Brendan Haywood is better than Perk? I would guess the Mavs don’t need him as a high priced back up with Tyson Chandler already set as the starting Center.

Most probably D Howard is not coming to Boston, so we really need Perk, he said it before he wants more money and he used Haywood example, please dont go to the most heated team in NBA history, cHeat.

Please God No. I want to continue liking Perk.

I honestly think Danny gets it done.

If we dont pay our players enough money to keep them, its because we dont want them to stay.
