According to ESPN.com's Marc Stein, Kendrick Perkins and the New Orleans Pelicans have agreed to terms on a one-year deal at the veteran minimum. Royce Young of ESPN.com confirmed Stein's report.
Former Brooklyn Nets salary-cap guru Bobby Marks reported Perkins' veteran-minimum payout will clock in at $1.49 million with a cap hit of $947,000.
Perkins was dealt to the Cleveland Cavaliers after getting waived by the Utah Jazz following last season's trade deadline, and the reigning Eastern Conference champions simply didn't have a spot for the free-agent center in a crowded frontcourt including Timofey Mozgov, Kevin Love and Anderson Varejao. Restricted free agent Tristan Thompson also has a contract situation that still needs to be sorted out.
"Great locker room guy," LeBron James said of Perkins on Feb. 24, according to Northeast Ohio Media Group's Joe Vardon. "All he cares about is winning."
Perkins now joins a Pelicans team loaded with big bodies up front.
Beyond Anthony Davis at the 4, the Pelicans re-signed Omer Asik and Alexis Ajinca to maintain solid depth at center. And while Perkins may not provide much in the way of statistical output, his ability to act as a solid locker room presence for an up-and-coming squad in a fiercely competitive Western Conference could be worth the cheap cost of acquisition.
這樣,也是對的,鵜鶘想要保護Anthony Davis,讓他不要碰到太多的肢體碰撞,免得身材削瘦的他,受傷機率大增.
但,反過來想,這樣會不會"慣"壞了Davis呢?他會不會,就不去加強自己的身體強度了?
Perkins,雖然是老將,但也沒很老,在籃下碰撞和防守,他還有一定的功力再,基本上,不太需要擔心.
實際上應該不會有什麼上場時間，大概買來尊奉的
讓AD跟這類老將多接觸也是好事
的確上場時間不會太多....
中鋒這位置有O.Asik+A.Ajinca擔綱也算是綽綽有餘了, 唯一的隱憂也是O.Asik的傷病問題
K.Perkins可以在這兩人有狀況時替補上陣, 也算是在內線買了一份保險
