[kisada]

along with blake griffin and cp3, with deron williams as the 6th man

how do i know? some laker fans told me so.

[GRT]

lol, I said the Clippers have a 2012 payroll of $25 million, not Lakers

although we do have the best GM in the league, so who knows?

Y! reporting that OKC traded Jeff Green and Nenad Krstic to the Celtics for Kendrick Perkins! WOW.

Correction: Jeff Green and Nenad Krstic to Boston for Kendrick Perkins and Nate Robinson.

[kisada]

no way...

wtf?

seriously wtf why would the celtics do that?

[GRT]

rofl

wow now I wonder if the Spurs can get to the conference finals

[Kaslo]

I think they thought they were also trading for Sam Presti

[GRT]

so now Perkins and C and Ibaka at PF... holy shit that's pretty scary considering how Durant stretches the floor

[kisada]

thunder got themselves a serious upgrade defensively. good for them.

edit: looks like they picked up nazr mohammed too. they've got some legit size. gonna be a tough matchup for anyone.

edit 2: andddddddd gerald wallace going to blazers for peanuts. isn't that a season ending injury waiting to happen? lol

[GRT]

So how many games does it take the Spurs to give up West No.1 spot to avoid OKC in the 2nd round? lol

[Heavencloud]

Portland got G. Wallace for only Pryzbilla and picks. What a steal, lol.

[kisada]

they sure got a lot of forwards now though. guessing they'll timeshare him a bit with LA at the 4 and let him eat up a lot of batum's minutes.

[Akiyama]

Really surprised the Celtics traded Perkins.

[kisada]

oj mayo to pacers now for josh mcbobs. guess they like psycho T as a starter?

[Heavencloud]

Really surprised the Celtics traded Perkins.

Yeah, strange move... Doesn't seem like Green would help them that much, considering they already have Pierce at that position.

[Tymon]

Mayo and Thabeet unloaded... Battier coming back, decent backup for Marc Gasol at Center, and didn't give up anything significant pick wise.

[GRT]

Still can't figure out Boston gave up Perkins though, only thing I can think of that really makes sense is if they know something about Perkins' knees that nobody else does.

[GRT]

They didn't have a real backup for Pierce. Although looking at the last shot Jeff Green took for OKC? And giving up Perkins for that? Wow...

I guess, but green was a starter in OKC, who know how effective he'll be off the bench. I guess it's not a terrible move, but giving up perkins seems like a bad idea: for a championship run, you need big guys.

[kisada]

heard c's just traded semi hardon and harangody too. what are they thinking?

[GRT]

Man, despite how inconsistent the Lakers have played this season, I never had any doubt they would get to the Finals again. But I'll be honest and say OKC right now scares me a lot, that's a on-paper deadly championship team.
