Kendrick Perkins - C - Oklahoma City Thunder

Kendrick Perkins said prior to Saturday's game that he is only at 65 percent health due to his surgically repaired left knee.
It's very possible Danny Ainge traded Perkins because he knew he would have a long haul back from surgery, but the fact the Celtics only got Nenad Krstic and Jeff Green in return, Boston would still probably be better off having Perkins in the middle right now.
