As part of a move to acquire Enes Kanter, the Oklahoma City Thunder sent Kendrick Perkins to the Utah Jazz in the deal during the NBA Trade Deadline. Perkins, 30, who is averaging 4 ppg. and 5 rebounds this season, is expected to be bought out by Utah. If Perkins were to hit the market, the Dallas Mavericks, LA Clippers, Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls are the favorites to land the center, according to Adrian Wojnarowski.
