Perk wouldn't be a difference maker right now, no...but moving him did what for us? What was the point? I would rather him be here. At least there would be someone in the paint that provides some kind of intimidation. Moving Perk did way more harm than good. I'm not gonna say Perk is the reason we are in this position right now because that would just be crazy, but that trade was the catalyst for a lot of bad decisions down the line that led to this. Destroying the team chemistry alone wasn't worth it.
It saved us a lot of money over the next few years and kept our chance at a championship last year alive.
It kept our chance of a championship last year alive? LOL!!! Okay.
And the money it saved us is doing what for us right now? Oh...
The money does as much as Perk would do right now: absolutely nothing.
Perk wouldn´t help us rebuild, though, the money does.
And I´m just explaining the thought process behind the trade here as I see it. People were pretty adamant about not wanting to blow this team up last year, Danny took a calculated risk.
Nothing wrong with that.
