Celts traded Perk and Nate Robinson to the Thunder for Green the Clips 1st rder they own. Love this deal for Oklahoma - not so sure about it from Boston's end

The O'Neills can't play defense, so bad move..

Yeah, i like this for my OKC boys too. The defense wasn't that crash hot this season but a starting lineup of Westbrook/Sefolosha/Durant/Ibaka/Perkins sounds pretty good to me.

Perkins can play the solid low post defense and Ibaka can fly in for the blocks :D

I did like Jeff Green but he really wasn't a PF and obviously he's not taking over Durant's SF role so he kind of had to go eventually. I still wish we got Tyson Chandler in that deal last year but this is good too. Nate should be a handy scoring punch off the bench too hopefully.

As far as Boston go, i think Green will play well for them but a lot is going to ride on Shaq's health now.

Problem with OKC is now you have 3 nobodies on the offensive end, so I'd like to see Harden start ahead of Sefo, cause you now have Sefo, Perkins and Ibaka who can't really play offense..

For the Celts, it's baffling, Perkins was the only big in the East who could match against Howard. Green doesn't play defense at PF, he's too small, but he's not good enough a perimeter shooter to play SF. I guess we'll be seeing him as backup at PF/SF with Davis being the backup C. Man Celtics just got small...

After looking at it a bit more i can see why the Celts may have made the move. Perkins has played only 12 games this year so they have the record they have without him. The Kristic back who is ok offensivly but again not great on D.

Green could be a very nice piece for them down the road and the Clips pick (top ten protected till 2016) is another nice piece they can either trade or use to get younger.

This should help their bench depth as Daniels is hurt and they are struggling to find a guy to spell KG & Pierce. It also gets rid of Nates terrible contract.

Maybe they thought they couldn't win this year so the decided to get younger and save some money.

Offensively it does take a little away from OKC but with Durant and Westbrook leading the way, offense hasn't been the biggest problem most of the time this season so should be ok. Harden and Nate can score alright too.

I don't mind it for Boston. Jeff Green is a bit of a do it all sort of player and will probably be more helpful against Miami and Orlando than Perk really. Even if they let Dwight get 30 points every night, they can shut the rest of the team down and guards those outside players like Ryan Anderson and LeBron when Miami go small etc.

He doesn't care about being the star. Celtics wouldn't be able to afford him in the off season cause he'll prolly end up around $8m in the FA.

Chatting on a forum in the Australia thread is hardly stalking.

He doesn't deserve attention anyway. He's a good defensive player but can't do much on the other end.

perfect fit for OKC since their outside scoring is beastly...

they didnt even have to give up much to get him either...
