Bass & Bogans for Perkins and a future 2nd

[Rick Robeys Return]

Guess it depends on how much OKC still values the ghost of Perk but it seems like a win/ win to me

Both team gets to shed some payroll: Cs lose about $3 mill; OKC loses over $2 mill after waiving Bogans

Cs get Perk for 10-15 minutes a night of rim protection, and on an expiring contract, while freeing up logjam at the 4

OKC gets a rotation 4 behind Ibaka who can give them something offensively, and still play plus D

The 2nd seems like a fair balancing since OKC would get the best player plus the advantage of the Bogans non-guaranteed....

Maybe this is not the deal DA wants to do right away, but something to think about come November/ December, if our roster still is the same and the Jan 7 guarantee date on Bogans approaches....

Is Perk's deal an expiring?

Is Perk's deal an expiring?

Yes, indeed!

You should really put "trade idea" somehwere in your title...

I think that's giving up too much for Perk considering the potential luxury tax ramifications.

It probably makes more sense for the Celtics to simply waive Bogans so that Ainge has more room to maneuver under the luxury tax threshold in search of potential deals.

If the Celtics would have waived Bogans anyways, the team is effectively paying almost $3m for a likely late second-round pick.  The Nets reportedly bought three such picks in the 2014 draft for under $2m dollars, so that seems like a massive overpay.
