He has probably never met Dellavedova like he has met those he listed.

I know I'm just joking lol.

I pretty much envision Perkins as the same guy who completely fucked our shit up more than 6 years ago...

Fuck that guy.

Now we fucks with his dead corpse. This may be a blessing in disguise.

We now fucks with dead corpses. It's a zombie world out there so who knows...

Rebound. Foul.

I think that's all we can really ask for. LeBron will get him some easy dunks.

Anyone else find it funny that when mentioning his teammates on twitter he was on the "K's" and decided to skip over Kevin and instead mention Tristan before him? Maybe it is just me.

Perkins isn't amazing, but he is a solid add for sure. We needed a defensive minded backup, we got one. I call that a win.

We only really need Perk for 15-20 minutes a game. In a backup role I think he is solid, as a starter, see OKC...

Totally. Good sleuthing.

And he put Iman out of alphabetical order all the way at the end so watch for those two to brawl in the locker room soon.

Also no mention of Mozgov so Perk is probably expecting to start over Moz.

No mention of Marion so Perk either knows Marion is getting cut soon or just doesn't like socks.

Only a crazy female would dig into it that deep

"='s" I'll deal with it.

So let's see what happens.

AZCavs · Feb 21, 2015

Not too long ago, the Cavs were using Lou Amundson as a rotational big man in certain games. How quickly things change.

I guess it couldn't hurt to have another stretch big...

Thread went full retard real quick

6 fouls and hopefully tough defense. All we need him for

This is just false. Not grossly false, but categorically false. You're also only citing at the rim, when you should be citing within 10 feet, and overall defensive impact. The game has passed Perkins by in many ways. This is not the 2009 version either. The league plays with pace and spreads the floor now, which directly exposes Perkins' weakness.

In many ways, Kendrick Perkins presence actually increases shots made within 10 feets, and thats WITH maybe the best shot blocker in the league (who is also one of the best help defenders in the league) playing next to him.

Secondly, he's a huge net negative on offense. This guys is a flat out negative player.

I don't want to turn this into an analytics discussion, but just trust me that he's been the laughing stock of that community for a couple years now.

There's a reason OKC didn't even see a use for him enough to keep him as insurance. I'm fine with him being insurance only. If he gets 15 minutes a game, it's a mistake. Against a couple teams? Fine. Other than that, he should be next to Mike Miller barking like a rabid dog. That's mostly what hes useful for now.

Settle down chief... and talk to NBA.com, not me.

I actually took screen shots but couldn't post them without uploading images elsewhere... You'll see Perk at #2 in 2013-14 and then behind 4 other big men in 2014-15. I used 30 GP or more, 19mpg or more and .5 blocks per game or more to eliminate guys who have played like 2 games and to try to eliminate most non-bigs. Klay Thompson and KJ McDaniels were still up there on the 14-15 list.

Edit to add: As for total defensive impact, his DRPM has been very good as per my earlier post,

FYI,

Kendrick Perkins is 18th in the league among centers in DRPM.(Hibbert 17th)

Mozgov is 24th.

Perkins was 17th last year when Larry Sanders, Marc Gasol, Andrew Bogut, Dwight Howard and Omer Asick were the Top 5. Chris Bosh was 16th last year.

This is the first time we have a big who is willing to give hard fouls. Kind of excited to have one of those on our team. I can see him decking Kyle Lowry in the 2nd round of the playoffs.

But why is he a duck, as opposed to, say, a deer, a bear, a wild boar? You get the idea...

Because it's duck season... :chuckle:
