Had to do with their ownership/luxury tax situation. A big market team solely focused on winning could keep KD/Westbrook/Harden/Ibaka together, at least for a few years.
That's why I thought it had to do with Ibaka more than Perkins. They basically realized they couldn't keep all 4 especially with the amount of money Harden was looking for.

The Thunder could have amnestied Perkins and they still wouldn't have saved enough money to pay for Harden, and that was before the new CBA came into effect, which was a really tricky deal for the Thunder and KD.
KD signs the max extension, then the lockout occurs, then the new CBA is agreed upon, then KD's pre-CBA extension (which was for less money) gets thrown out because he makes more money under the new CBA's max deal. And the league paid the difference, which is kind of bullshite. Regardless, the Thunder couldn't pay Harden before Durant's deal was upped, and they certainly weren't paying him after.
Sucks to be small market.
