Celtics Trade Shocker: Danny Ainge Dumps Kendrick Perkins, Chris Rock Unimpressed

There are several NBA trades worth discussing today, but the one that's getting the most attention is Boston Celtics President Danny Ainge's surprise decision to trade starting center Kendrick Perkins to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Boston will reportedly get center Nenad Krstic and forward Jeff Green from Oklahoma in exchange for Perkins and forward Nate Robinson.

Smart move, dumb move or dumbest move ever?

Some die-hard Celts fans are dismayed.

Others say this is just how the game works.

Many fans worry that losing Perkins will disrupt the core of the Celtics lineup.

Still others say the loss isn't as great as it's being made out to be. (For the uninitiated, Bill Russell was a legendary center and 12-time All-Star who led the Celtics to glory in the 1960s.)

We'll give comedian Chris Rock the final word.

A while ago I needed change for a 5. I asked Danny Ainge, and he traded me my $5 bill for his 10 singles. Clearly nothing has changed.less than a minute ago via webChris Rock
