ESPN - Just before Thursday's 3 p.m. ET trade deadline, the Boston Celtics agreed to ship center Kendrick Perkins and guard Nate Robinson to the Oklahoma City Thunder for forward Jeff Green and big man Nenad Krstic in a deal the NBA approved about five hours later...
Bottom line here is CW was in full on panic mode yesterday afternoon at work, couldn't fathom what the hell we were doing getting rid of our inside toughness, didn't make any sense after we spent all off season searching for the corpses of former centers to sign. Hadn't we stressed the need for more big men after the unspeakable Game 7 loss to the Lakers last year? What the hell was going on? Why were we shipping the biggest bad ass on our team away for a wing player and some foreigner?
Well apologies to that foreigner. Nenad Krstic, I had no idea just how much of a mean Mo-Fo you really are. You may look like a slightly balding college professor, or the doomed evil villain in a 2nd rate action movie, but after watching the video below I've come to realize, you sir are one hard ass dude.
All due respect to Perk, who always talked a good game and cut a mean figure with a meaner scowl, he never took a chair upside the head of an opponent over a simple disagreement. When it comes right down to it Perk is a man of talk and Krstic a man of action, just check out the below:
And that was over some crappy Euro League game, that shit barely counts more than Rec-League. Imagine the guys temper when he's in a "Heat-ed" playoff battle, or in a game 7 against the hated Lakers. There is no telling what he's capable of, and that is going to scare the shit out of a puss-bag like Gasol, or a prima-donna lap dog like Lebron.
