Just wondering how you guys think it all went down.

Do you think Danny was calling teams up offering Perk, or do you think OKC called and asked about Perk?

I know Danny has been known to work the phones, but I always pictured it more like Danny is making all the calls, and asking other GM’s, “What would it take to get Player X?”or how about “Nate Robinson for X?”  then the other GM would counter with something like, “It would take Perk or Big Baby for me to consider that.”  Then Danny might counter again with something real low ball like Marquis, JO, Avery, etc., and then the talks basically fizzle out, or the trade ends up being real minor (like Luke/Semih for the 2nd round pick or Marquis for cash).

Even though I know last year Danny was shopping Ray, I just can’t picture him shopping Perk. 

I always picture Danny  making the calls though, not the other way around, (I know it's naive to think it only goes one way, but that's just the way I always picture it - not that I actually think it happens that way).

So did Danny call OKC and offer Perk?
Or did OKC call and ask for Perk?

Or maybe OKC called and offered Green/Kristic, or Danny called and asked about Green/Kristic?

How do you guys think it all went down?

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

RealGM says that Golden State was after Perk too.

So perhaps word got around that he might be available.

I don't really want to think about how/why this happened.

I trust DA, but he BETTER be right on this one.

I think I read that OKC offered the trade and Celtics took it... But man do I miss Perk :'(. Wish Danny could of gotten Green for Nate but I know it doesn't work that way.
