We all know that Perk will work his butt off to rehab his shoulder. All we need to hope for is that there won't be any post surgical complications.

Boy, with Dickau's achilles, with Wally's knee, with Raef's knee, Perk's shoulder, Jefferson's sprained ankles, Tony's knee, and Delonte's broken hands, we've had our share of injuries to our players.
 

It's tough when you have so many guys who are still basically rookies getting hurt eary on in their careers. I expect it from Raef.
 

Glad to hear the surgery was successful. I agree that Perk will work as hard as he can to rehab the shoulder and work toward getting in shape for training camp.
 

It was something that needed to be done. Once your shoulder comes out of its socket, the tendons (or ligaments?) become loose and chances of having the shoulder pop out increase even more. And with the way Perk plays in the trenches, he'll need to have shoulders that won't bother him. Glad that this was taken care of quickly.

What I like about Ainge is that he doesn't mess around with surgery. His mentality is get it done with early so that you don't have to worry about it later.

Hey, FL12, this is DJ's chance to make up ground with Perkins. Getting a head start learning under Cliff Ray may boost his chances to beat out Perk ;D Just had to put that jab in there.
 

I don't think he will beat our Perk but I liked what I saw from him in his short playing time last year. It would be great for him to work with Cliff and become that back up post player that we need.
 

Chances are he's not going to beat out Perk. I say his chances are a bit under 50/50. But if he does, it'll be because his athleticism works better with the starting unit than with Perk in there (assuming that his game improves that much and he becomes just as effective on the glass and blocking shots as Perk).
