Kendrick Perkins turned down 4year/$30mil extension

How about something along the lines of a Martin + patterson for Allen + Perkins?

Lets face it, Boston's big 3 is getting old. Martin would bring some much needed youth and fit right in with Rondo in the back court. They would lose some D, but gain scoring and youth.

From Rockets perspective, salaries for Martin and Allen are identical (if Allen does not opt to pick up player option, it could save us $10 mil). Martin leaving would hurt our offense, no doubt, but short term, Allen could give us at least 15 ppg imo. But we get that big, defensive anchor. Perkins is a stud defender. We could then also do other moves like go after a Granger or Nene, as we would have all our other assets in place.

 

Perkins is the medicine for our interior defense to be sure.

I would rather have him than Nene.

 

Well, if the offer was made before his return.....it's fair

But $5.5M per is definitely lowball if he's able to play like before.

 

If the Rockets could get him for 4 years, $30 million that would be great. Especially considering what Miller gets paid.

 

Thanks for this post, now I don't have to rattle off those stats myself. I can't stand it when people make totally ignorant comments.

 

Agreed. Perkins and Patterson would make a nice combo.
