I get that amnestying Perk doesn't make financial sense, but I think there are some big problems with keeping Perk in the starting lineup. One of which is it comes off to the fans that their voice doesn't matter at all. Fans don't get fired & fans don't have to live with bad personnel decisions like coaches and GMs, but there is overwhelming frustration with playing Perk so much mostly out of stubbornness. One of the things that makes OKC at least seem different is that they preach community and the entire community, except apparently Perk & Brooks wants at the very least some sort of diminished role for Perk. Starting the year with no change here after dealing Harden at the start of last year (a move I understood & have defended) just continues to chip away at fan excitement. The guys in my section of the arena were on the verge of booing Perk this year, & I will almost guarantee that they boo him from the start of next season.
@RWolverine at GSW is not a freebie
@snowflake thought this too, but we have like four straight days off after tonight
@see-mittens this is wise...we are 8-2 in our last 10. Long season and playoffs are very different than regular season.
@O O O O O O @CLthunderfan @OKC035 yes, but Fisher being on the floor changes who/how Martin is guarded
@see-mittens I don't like Lebron, but I hate JT, so I celebrated Lebron destroying him.
@[censored] @DXL I would think some of this depends upon whether or not we are going to be able to resign Martin in the offseason...Martin makes Lamb expendable. If you are going to keep Martin, I see no problem moving Lamb to upgrade at center, but of course I am one of those who thinks Gortat is a pretty big upgrade over Perk.
@Lost Ones @ElMexiThunder @CLthunderfan that's the big one...
@Lost Ones @[censored] @OBoy @OLADIPO about to get to the point where we want to pull for TOR to get into the playoffs and delay our pick a year.
@sooner403 @[censored] yeah...saw that too. I don't know much about Tucker.
@[censored] read a bit on a couple of Phoenix blogs and they seem to think it is a one-sided deal in their favor. They really like Lamb and are tired of Gortat. My guess is not as tired as they will be of Perk, but whatever.
@[censored] I think Gortat is a pretty significant upgrade over Perk. He is mobile, has good hands, & knows what to do with the ball when he catches it in the post...but the biggest thing for me is that people couldn't ignore him on defense as they routinely do Perkins.
@senseandsenescence Has our starting five been a + in any other games this year?
@Lambchop Tulsa
@Thunderstruck_24 on NBA TV
Charles getting on the city of San Antonio already...
@Old Man Game @Lost Ones Totally forgot about Shumps ACL also...
@Lost Ones I love Maynor, but it's not like we need to spend a lot on a backup PG with Beard & RW. I think we were all a little shocked to see Fisher used almost exclusively as a shooting guard, so maybe Maynor is the odd man out.
