I think that Ainge would have pay him that money,probably there were some issues on some option in the last year of the contract(we don't have to forget that Perkins had major injuries in the past,so he would aim to a fully guarantee contract)

I believe Perkins turned down a 4 years, $22 million offer from the Celtics this season. Which, to be quite frank, is pretty insulting.

OKC are rolling the dice on Ibaka's offensive game improving, and Harden continuing to do the same.
Definitely think it was a good move.

I don't think Boston had any cap space (under the hard cap) to sign Perkins to anything more than the relatively low amount that they offered him so they were almost certain to lose him in the offseason as well unless they cleared up some space somehow from what i've read.

I'm an OKC fan and a little sad to lose Jeff Green as he was a good all around player but he didn't really fit properly at PF and Perkins sort of puts everyone in their place a little better. I think bringing in Nazr Mohammed will prove to be a pretty good move for us too. Overall, there's still a lot of improvement in a lot of young guys but i love where we're heading.

Oh I like it.
Arguing on another forum that Boston would have been better off sticking with Perk and just letting him leave. I'd say that their window is this season, cannot see them doing much post this one.

What the trade tells me is this: Boston don't really rate Orlando, nor do they envisage themselves meeting them in the playoffs. If they did, they wouldn't make this trade.
With it, they're marginally better against Miami than they were... maybe.
But the rise of the Bulls could really throw a spanner in this for them, as if the standings stay as are, then Boston well might meet Orlando in the second round. And that could be quite a tough match up... depending on how the Magic's shooters fair.

They must be planning on resting Shaq for most of the regular season and just hoping like hell he's healthy for the finals. I think Jeff Green is a fairly underrated defender too. I think once he gets use to the Boston system, he'll fit in just fine.

so you mean, instead of having Perkins guarding Howard, they preferred Green for guarding Bosh?

They also signed Murphy who is a pretty decent guy, but not a post defender in the middle. he is actually a PF, so again they will go undersized against Orlando , or even Lakers [if they reach the finals].

Not quite.
In a fully fit Boston, both Murphy and Green are back-ups. And that's part of what surprised me on the trade: they shifted a starting center for a back-up forward.
And despite Green being underrated (by some), he will get eaten alive by starting 4s in the East.
