So the Celtics basically gave up Perkins for nothing?

Troy Murphy was gonna get the Buyout either way and Celtics still could've went after him and kept Perkins and released Jermaine O'neal to make room for Troy Murphy. The Celtics front office was robbed with a 2 barrell Shotgun. Now they don't have a Legit center with size besides Shaq who can't stay healthy. Who agrees?
