Salute Smart for what he did for my squad for 9 seasons,thar said nobody care about Perks opinion abd yes im a Celtics fan have been since 92'…This dude is a flip flopper that's wild emotional about his picks. When the Celtics lost he started goin in on them …they make changes and hes unhappy? What a surprise lol…Perk don't like Euro big men by the way…he hated on Jokic and now hes hating Porzingus ..til Kristaps makes him look foolish lol ..his only question is health his third piece he knows hes there too make life easy for Tatum and Brown…and hes also a better defender based on his numbers last season we get 65 ganes from him its a wild upgrade compared to "Fragile lord" Robert Williams who cant stay healthy at all
Not surprising, Perk is a well known racist
Big hor n por in the middle cmon now
Perk is a racist pig
Why does this guy Bontemps have a tiny voice? It gets smaller every time. Does he ball, what does he know about this, he looks like a geek
This is not the upgrade many people think. Aside from losing a loyal, heart-and soul, defensive-minded, durable, defensive leader in Marcus Smart, you have attained a high-quality, albeit injury-prone player. If you are going to win a championship you need defense and you need durability; many players have noted that the playoffs are like a whole extra season. What good does Porzingis do for you on the bench? Factor in more pressure, higher-expectations, opposing teams giving you their A-game, and you have a situation that makes it MORE likely Porzingis will be injured than with the Wizards and other teams. If you could add Porzingis to last season's Celtics, then you have yourself something; but when you factor in the loss of Marcus Smart and Porzingis's lack of robustness, I see the Celtics as being DIFFERENT, but I don't see them as being better–at least not over the long stretch.
please tell me perkins got fired cause he's an idiot
“His snacks fell”😂
Perkins is so annoying as a Celtics fan I can't stand his terrible takes
Why perk still on ESPN 😭
If harden and Giannis didn’t have beef then james could’ve gone there could he go to the celtics?
Kendrick Perk at it again.
What a puppet for Espn.
I agree with perk this trade is trash
Has Perkins ever said anything even close to relevant? I understand that you have to have opposite sides in NBA discussions, but this is guy is just plain stupid.
Center Kendrick Perkins played 14 seasons for 4 teams. His career averages were 5.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 782 regular season games.
FFS ESPN fired a bunch of people and Perk is somehow still here…SMH
If horford and williams played how they were supposed to, they wouldn’t have had to get Porzingis. Smarts decision making wasnt that smart like people think. He was the perfect person to trade, just not for Porzingis
Perk is the Celtics biggest hater. Crazy he won a championship with us 🤦🏻♂️
I mean there is a reason they got 2 1st round picks plus Krip for MS. Its cause MS is a better player. 30 mil for a 3rd option and no true PG seems likes a bad move tbh
Guys just don't enjoy playing with Luka.
Who's perk?
This move gives the Celtics all the leverage in Jaylen Brown's upcoming contract negotiation.. Boston can afford to lose JB now that they have another legit scoring Allstar. Love it!
Of course Kendrick Perkins hates another white European player
Kendrick Perkins HILARIOUS 😆😂😂😂😂
