Lost in all the chaos of the NBA trade deadline was the fact that OKC sent their big man, Kendrick Perkins to the Utah Jazz as part of the trade involving sending Reggie Jackson to Detroit. The Thunder gave up their enforcer and a guy with passion for the game, but the move had to be done. The Jazz had no intention of keeping Perkins so as they worked on a buyout reports are saying Perkins is still gonna come out of this situation pretty good as he will either sign with the Cavs or Clippers, both of which are legit contenders. Perkins will miss OKC and they will miss him too, but both sides are going to wind up just fine. The reports seem to lean towards the Cavs, so Perkins goes from Durant to Lebron…..not a bad way to stay in the game.

NBA: Problems In OKC? Serge Ibaka & Kendrick Perkins Admit To Doing What?
Serge Ibaka and Kendrick Perkins strike me as two dudes who you don’t want to upset. With Kevin Durant & Russell Westbrook both out with injury there is already enough stress around the team. A report is saying there is some negative things happening beneath the surface as well and it is affecting the locker room. Ibaka & Perkins decided to “freeze” point guard Reggie Jackson out of the game by not passing him the ball after both big men became upset with his play.
