A league front-office source told FanHouse that the Celtics have been dangling center Kendrick Perkins and their No. 19 pick to teams with high lottery picks in attempt to add a dynamic young talent to their aging core. It's a tough sell, considering Perkins is facing surgery as early as Friday after tearing his medial collateral ligament and partially tearing his posterior cruciate ligament in Game 6 of the NBA Finals.
Perkins's rehab is expected to take at least 6 months and he has only one year left on his contract. He doesn't really have any trade value other than a small expiring contract. When he went down in Game 6 it basically meant the C's lost that game, would be big underdogs in Game 7 (thus losing the Championship that was theirs for the taking prior to the Perkins injury) and lost their biggest trade chip this offseason in any attempt to bring in a star to compliment Rondo. I don't see this trade offer going anywhere.
