there will be a lot of teams going after him.

Ahh man if he leaves this is the beginning of the downfall of the Celtics

 

[Mexi]

hell yeah, i'd reject too

so many teams will be on him, as DJT pointed out

Knicks, Heat, Thunder come to mind

 

[bosoxlover12]

i guarantee if they offered this before getting Shaq in the offseason, he might have accepted this

Perkins knows that Shaq is now starting in Boston, so he's kinda mad.

If he leaves, let him go to OKC tho. He would be great there

 

[elcheato]

Wouldn't be smart for the Celtics to let one of their few young players leave.

 

[Elite]

He probably wants that Joakin Noah money

if he could go to okc, nice. i wish we had enough cap to go after him.

The best the heat would offer is the full MLE. If he turned down 7.5M a year and wanted more, what makes you think he will go to the Heat?

Kendrick Perkins told CSNNE.com on Monday that Boston's extension offer made to him was for four years around $22 million.

An earlier report by the Boston Herald cited two unnamed sources that indicated Perkins turned down a contract extension that was for four years and worth slightly less than $30 million.

"That wasn't it. They offered me four years, but it was closer to like $22 million," Perkins said. "You talking four years, $30 million! Shoot, that's different. That's a big difference."

These players and their millions lol

Give me one million and boyyyyyy...I'd be grinning.

 

[DJT]

Not even a million and i'd be happy.

 

[bosoxlover12]

lol being paid $2 mill more is such a huge difference for someone who's making over $5 mil a year!

 

[Pugz]

more like 8mill but yea. athletes get so damn greedy.

 

[MapleLeaf]

Gotta love how a career 6 and 6 guy is rejecting 30 million

 

[Si3t3]

actually it wasn't 30M but 23M, that's why he rejected and off course he wants to test the free agency and see if he can get a team change. I think he's also looking for 40M type of deal.
