Oklahoma City can thank their lucky stars they can finally get rid of that loser.
The Heat should look at it this way: if a team actively trying to beat you/felllow contender is willing to do the deal someone's getting fleeced.
This has to be a joke. No, seriously. What Lebron wants is an even slower, older more injured supporting cast.
Just like Jordan. Just because you are a all time great doesn't mean you know how to build a team. LeBron's only good picks were Norris Cole and I think Napier might pan out as well. Perkins? Nope.
What's funny is that this is literally impossible. Perkin's makes $9.4 million in 2014/2015. The Heat only have 2 contracts they can trade......Cole and Hamilton, who make a combined $3 million. In other words.....only if amnestied by OKC, and only if he clears waivers.
So the game plan is: LeBron opts out Wade opts out Bosh opts out Each signs on for 13 million for a total of $9 million. Then Miami absorbs Perkins through its capspace??
As the Knicks seemingly are starting to make smarter decisions, the Heat look to relieve Presti of his biggest contract disaster ever...WOW...Lebron leaving looking more and more realistic.
"When I said I'd consider a pay cut, I didn't mean for Kendrick Perkins." "When I said upgrade the roster, Kendrick Perkins didn't come to mind." "When I meant the need to get some young blood, I didn't mean Kendrick Perkins."
