I believe it was Ben - somewhere back ten pages or so (apologies if I'm wrong) - who said Perkins might not be happy w/ DNPs. That concerns me, because the Cavs are zipping along tight now, and he couldn't be a worse fit for their style of play. There will be nights where there will be no use for him outside of garbage time. Will he put up with this without complaining. If so, cool. Otherwise... I mean, Gour nailed it with the playoff stats, but just use your eyes: do you see how a plodding, below-average player on both ends of the floor helps this team? The Cavs don't need an "enforcer". If a grizzly bear runs on the court and mauls LeBron, perhaps I'll change my tune. But until that tragic day, I'll trust the flagrant foul system to keep the game from turning into a Royal Rumble.
Again, if Perk is cool with a drastically reduced role, then fine. But if this guy is asked to contribute in a meaningful way... well, you'll see.
