Celtics Trade Perkins, Robinson to OKC

[COWBOYSNUM1]

I guess I don't see how OKC got better. They got a center who doesn't score and is coming off of a major injury. OKC likes to run and Perkins slow plodding self fits into that? The Celtics got a young energetic player who can score and can give Pierce or Garnett a breather without missing much of a beat. OKC didn't get better with this trade.

As a Celtics fan, I absolutely love this trade. The Celtics wasn't going to be able to re-sign Perkins because they were too far apart on a new contract. We were able to get Krstic, Jeff Green, and a 1st round pick for Perkins and Nate Robinson.

I love Perkins and hated to lose him. But I think this deal will help us this year and in the future. I am real high on Jeff Green.

You should love this trade as a Celtics fan. Perkins nor Robinson haven't played a game yet as an OKC Thunder. The Celtics knew what they doing and will benefit from it. Perkins really didn't bring that much to the table to warrant the overreaction this trade got. He is limited offensively and isn't enough for people to get excited to think this is going to elevate OKC to elite level status.

Yes because Pop says the Lakers are clearly the best team = best team.(sarcasm).
No it doesn't but that was my point. My point was you state that the Lakers are clearly the leading contender, and there is no way you can clearly state this when RIGHT NOW they aren't even the best team in their own conference and have struggled against the top teams in the league. There is no clearly about it, they aren't THE leading contender

Still think this? The Celtics just lost to the Clippers. The CLIPPERS. Meanwhile the Lakers are on fire right now and just raped the Spurs are on their home turf. Lakers are still the best till someone takes them down.

You mean like the Spurs raped them back in December? Well, at least the Lake men didn't get swept in the regular season. 1-2 is mighty impressive.

Lemme check...Yep...Lakers are still the third seed in the West. 3rd.

You know, behind two other teams with better records?

Why wouldn't I still think this. Did the Celtics season end last night? Big deal the Celtics lost to Clippers. It happens. The Celtics had won 8 of 9 before last night. The Lakers lost to the Cavs and some other garbage team before the All Star break. So what. The Celtics also were average from about January on last year and were winning in Game 7 of the Finals with 5 minutes left. You point out one regular season game like that is some indicator. It's not. You really are trying but you are failing.

I'll say it again best record does NOT = best team. Just look at the Cavs in 09 and 10 they had the best record but were they the best? Hell no. Also the Spurs did not rape the Lakers in December. The final score was not indicative of how close the game was.
