Woj- Cleveland has waived Kendrick Perkins, league source tells ESPN. Cavs reach 15-man roster. Perkins came to camp in terrific shape

TP, because I love Perk, BUT get that thought out of your head. :D

He is a horrendous fit into Stevens' system, even as a 15th guy.

No interest whatsoever in picking him up. Appreciate his effort while he was here years ago, but he has nothing to give.

Bring Perk home.  I'd cut Nader and trade cupcake to create a little personality for this team.

If the Cavs manage to dump Frey or Shumpert, I can see them bringing him back. I expect him to be around the Cavs a lot regardless as a voice in the locker room.

This article from today's Daily Links on home page agrees with you:

 If no one picks him up, he will be coaching next to Lue.

EDIT:Should've said "next to Bron Bron". Lost my head.

Not gonna find a 15th man better than T Rob...

Don't understand what Danny's looking for. We are weak on the glass.

He can't really do that either.

Durant is not on this team.

It makes sense. Lebron was angry they got rid of him in the first place.

Meaning the style of the game has changed these days. He would have been very ineffective, despite his already subpar game. Maybe can use him as an enforcer or locker room guy that's about it that you could get out of him.

Hire him as a scowling assistant.  Help teach Baynes a better mean face.

Much worse.  Our softie isn't MVP caliber.
