NBA analysts are all euphoric in regards to the major trades consummated by Thunder General Manager Sam Presti just before yesterday's trade deadline.
"The Thunder’s trades for Kendrick Perkins and Nazr Mohammed basically put the finishing touches on a rebuilding project that began in Seattle in June of 2007, adding the low-post defense and interior toughness that was the final hurdle to their rivaling the big boys in the West." ~ John Hollinger, ESPN
“As for the Thunder, this is a brilliant move." ~ Zach Lowe, Sports Illustrated
