[QUOTE="ttown, post: 1468275, member: 2114"] In what qualifies as a stunner, the Celtics have apparently agreed to send Kendrick Perkins, their rock of a starting center, to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Jeff Green and Nenad Krstic, per Yahoo!s Adrian Wojnarowski. There will be other players involvedpossibly Nate Robinsonbut this is a stunner. As for Green, hes a restricted free agent after this season, and lots of folksme includedhave written about how unlikely a fit he is in Oklahoma Citys long-term plans, given the financial commitments they are going to have to make other players. This is doubly shocking given Bostons identity as a defensive team. Green is a tweener, and the Thunders defense has been consistently awful with him on the court versus with him on the bench. Krstic is a solid post defender, but get him moving on the perimeter in pick-and-rolls, and he has trouble. Theres a reason hes on the bench during crunch time in Oklahoma City.
