danny ainge is a genius, this is why you dont listen to fanboys and other so called experts
giving 9 mil per year to perkins would have been devistating
Yeah, I think we can call the trade more or less a wash for both teams at this point. Neither team got very much out of the players they acquired -- though each team improved in some areas and weakened in others, it appears that neither was really "put over the top" or seriously weakened by the trade.
Hahahahahahahahaha don't do drugs.
Yes, it's really quite hilarious. Because Perk's 2 pts and 4 or 5 rebounds a game with a few fouls and a block or two would have made such an ENORMOUS difference against the Heat.

Having to shell out nearly $10 million a year for Perk's services for the next 4 years would have been an albatross as well, considering Perk doesn't really fit with the quick / athletic / up-tempo kind of team that Rondo is supposedly meant for.
Even if you ignorantly think Perk would have done nothing for us on the court, or made any of his teammates better, there is no way you can discount the fact that "the trade" clearly weakened our team. We were way stronger before it was made; if you're looking for a reason all you can do is speculate, but that is an absolute fact.
Also who cares if we were gonna sign Perk or let him walk for nothing. We needed him this year with this group of players. Seriously, who cares about the future if keeping Perk means we're playing the Bulls right now?
