That Celts/Thunder trade is really interesting from a Thunder perspective; the top teams in the west are so stacked for big-men, and Krstic just wasn't getting it done. They give up a couple inches in height for an excellent interior presence; Thunder still don't have the interior presence of LA, Dallas, or San Antonio, but with Westbrook and Durant they don't need an all-star back there, just somebody who won't be consistently backed down by guys like Duncan and Gasol. But at the same time it's high risk; Perk has had a lot of knee trouble and is carrying around a lot of weight.
