I doubt Perkins would get playing time anyway.

On an OKC pregame radio broadcast a few months back they were talking about the effect Perkins immediately had on the young OKC team. I forget the specifics but he basically told the kids to stop playing soft.

Exactly. Think Juwan Howard on Miami. Locker room guy. But you can also throw Perk in for some enforcement if someone fouls AD hard.

Whoever we sign next should never play a meaningful minute

Mark Cuban loses another one. Richard Jefferson switches from Mavs to Cavs.

quote:

The Cleveland Cavaliers are closing in on a deal to sign veteran swingman Richard Jefferson, according to league sources.

Sources said Jefferson, who committed to re-sign with the Dallas Mavericks earlier this month, changed his mind in recent days and is finalizing a one-year veteran minimum deal with the Cavaliers instead.

Agreed, I think our top 12 are already signed (pending Cole) and are the only guys that should get minutes, unless we have some severe injuries.

I'd be ehh about Perkins. He basically comes in to play against Memphis.

The 13th and 14th guys on your bench shouldn't get relevant playing time.

2011-12 - Juwan Howard plays a total of 190 minutes, none of them meaningful

2012-13 - He gets 51 minutes, 37 of them in two farewell games at the very end of the season.

THIS is the type of guy the Pels will add if they sign Perk. A non-factor on the court. But a huge one in the locker room/off the court. That would be his role.

Maybe we could get a guy that can play a bit of meaningful minutes?

Maybe a guy like Sam Dalembert?

Who are you taking minutes from in the front court?

Davis, Anderson, Asik, Ajinça?

As it is Ajinça will probably only get ~10 minutes.

That's a bit overpriced for a forward coming off an ACL tear, even with how money is being thrown at players now. I don't really see much of an incentive for them doing the deal now. I'm just not sure I view him as a close-to-max guy even if he was healthy.j

AD/Asik will like take 30ish minutes at center leaving behing roughly 20 for Ajinca and someone like dalembert(say 15 for ajinca and 5-7 for the 5th big)

He's a top 10 SF(imo) when healthy and was great to end the season last year.

ETA: even including his new deal they're only at like 65 mil in contracts next year.

I think AD will play at least 10 minutes at center and Asik will play ~25 minutes.

It's all conjecture right now, though.

Right

No need to overwork him either with those guys healthy either(and guys like DC/Babbitt capable of playing the 4)

Perkins is really close with KD(checked on him all of the time during his rehab)

Just saying

Jared Dudley played with a herniated disc and is out 3-4 months

Might have dodged a bit of a bullet,those injuries are worrisome.

And I expect Cunningham to log some minutes at the 4, too.
