I must say, I can not help but laugh when someone uses cumulative stats to quantify Perk's performance, or, contributions.  His overall numbers will never look great, or likely, even good.

Then why do we even use stats at all?  Why do we use them to evaluate Ryan Hollins or Greg Stiesma?  Or - GASP - Jeff Green? 

Why not just use our own biased opinions about one player, because we are know-it-alls?  Make it all subjective, let's throw every stat out the window.

Why is Kendrick Perkins the exception to the rule that every other NBA or professional athlete is held to?

Have a TP sir.

I love how stats dont lie when they're evaluating Jeff Green, but when it comes to Perk, he does immeasurable things.

Exactly we all know that what Jeff brings to this team goes way beyond his stats just like what Perkins does. He has the potential to be an all star as well which is something perkins will never have. Hes also younger.

In retrospect, neither team won at this deal.

OKC won by unloading their garbage onto us.

Perkins has definitely made his impact felt here in OKC.

When you throw in the pick we won.

Perk looked good last night against the Lakers. Doing everything the Thunder need him to do -- setting great picks, playing tough defense, and continually irritating the hell out of the opponent. This team misses a lot of what Perk brings to the game.

That said, Howard grabbed 18 rebounds and went 9-17 shooting for 23 points, 3 assists, 1 block (and 6 TOs).

Perk went 0-2, 3 rebs, 2 assists, 1 block, 2 TOs, and 5 fouls in 23 minutes of play.

I don't think yesterday was a game to salivate over Perk about.

Yea see above. what are you talking about?

he got murdered 

I think I can find the above stat line vs howard for less than 10 mill a year.

Who won the game? Once again, we resort to stats when we talk about Perk. Where did I say I wanted to pay Perk $10 million a year and wanted him back? What I did say is the Celts miss the attitude and toughness that a guy like Perk brings to a team. But wait, there is no stat like that, so I guess I don't know anything about basketball.

Stat lines don't tell everything other than in the first quarter a bit Howard was not a factor at all and Perkins along with Collison were a reason why

How many times are you going to inflate the amount of money Perk makes?  Can you post a link for the number you are using, or are you purposely misstating his salary to bolster your argument.

Here's Perk's deal with OKC

2012-2013 $8.3m per Storytellers, $7.8m per Hoopshype


In this thread, you claimed

He's been injured and generally awful at 9 million a year since the trade.

they got rid of harden BECAUSE of perk. Perks 9/mill per limited them in what they could offer Harden. you really think they don't want a do over on that one?

His cap hit is $8.9m next yer per Storytellers.

Do you have a different site where you get these salary numbers?

Did Perk play in the second half?
He was garbage in the first half.

Perkins was terrible in that game.

In no way did he change what howard was going to get offensively.

Sorry, I missed on his cap hit by a million, a TP for your research.

Let me rephrase. I can find a guy to play defense and have a much better statline than that against howard for 8.3 million this year, and 8.9 next year.

Savvy?

True this , I love Perk and wish he wasn't traded, but he sucked so bad , total non factor......Perk was there ...thats about I can say.... Durrant , West Brook and Ibaka destroyed the Lakers .  I thought OKC was going to fall asleep it was so easy stomping LA.
