Quite possibly the most overrated player in a long time.

Dude brought absolutely nothing to that team last year. What a horrible fit. His only place is riding KG's coattails.

hopefully the kids who attended his camp will have at least learned the meaning of irony - he brought a great deal of that into the picture!

Too be fair, he was injured. He will do much better next year.

Some NBA players seem to have a lot of anger issues. What's up with that?
The Hoyas almost started world war 3 this week with China!

The Chinese were by far the aggressors there.

I wouldnt quite say nothing. I thought OKC got the better end of the trade. Perkins was dealing with some injury issues and still did an OK job defensively for the 27 minutes playing time he had per game. Not just that but he shot 50% from the field while playing for OKC. His aggressiveness offensively seemed to be down from when he was with Boston. But he did only play 17 games which couldnt be enough time to get comfortable with your team. Maybe that had something to do with it.
