Throw in Roger Braille and we might be onto something.
Except for the players we get, I don't want them.
I don't really like it either. If we got a 1st rounder, then I'd come around.
That is a kick *** deal for us even if it undervalues Jefferson. How is Dalembert's defense compared to Perkins? If he's anywhere close to comparable then OKC does this over the phone.
I don't even know who's on the Bucks roster at this point with all their changes and the draft, but Jefferson, Jennings, & Ellis make an argument for the playoffs. They have like 5 forwards already but nobody to replace Bogut's void.
If it frees up space down low it's okay, I guess. We still have 15 though so we cant take on 2 without including Braille somehow or getting him to take a buyout.
OKC won't want to get rid of Perkins now that Dwight is in the conference. Also, why would you want Perkins on the Jazz?

Yes. Perk is great at keeping pivots like Bynum and Howard off their "sweet spots", but otherwise isn't very good. An ideal player for the Thunder, IMO due to the lack of defense when it really matters, would be Al Jefferson. A guy like that can consistently score on the block on anyone in the league. Problem is he gets paid something like 15 mil per season, so he or Nene aren't possible options. I just think the Thunder ponying up 12 million per season for Perkins, Aldrich, and Thabeet is somewhat a death sentence. Is that position going to end up costing them Harden? Ibaka? The juice isn't worth the squeeze.
Spazz you debbie downer, check this out from realgm thunder board:
Al Jefferson son! They covet.

Well you never would have thought the Suns would send Nash to the Lakers, but they did. In all likelihood though, I would see the Thunder as using the amnesty clause on Perkins next summer before I would see them trading him this season.
Zero, but these are dreaming threads. How about Thabo, Maynor, & Perkins for Jefferson, Watson, and $3mm in cash that they can throw at a very soon to be bought out Braille?
