Nene doesn't impress me Defensively. He has a solid offensive post game, but he isn't exactly a defensive presence, at least to me.
Now don't get me wrong - after tonight's debacle, some could argue that Perk let Lebron come into the paint a little too much, but even then I can't put all the blame on our Big Fella.
After Lebron shredded us from the perimeter due to our lack of Defensive Effort, Perk became a non-factor. It was already too late.
But I still think we take a step back defensively with this trade.
