5 – Kendrick Perkins:

Adding Perkins back onto the Oklahoma City Thunder would be a great depth and veteran presence as well as a fan favorite. Perkins was traded a few years back to acquire Enes Kanter, mostly due to Perkins high cap hit. Perkins is a career 5 points and 6 rebounds per game guy.

But, something that Perkins could provide the Thunder with is some grit and toughness down low. He could also teach some of the younger big men the toughness and defense they need to be great in the NBA.

With Perkins attending a few games so far this season, I am sure Perkins and the Thunder could both benefit from this move.
