Perkins Urges Thunder to Explore Giannis Trade After Holmgren Scores 4 in Game 7 Loss
4 articles · Updated · Yahoo Sports · May 31
Four points from Chet Holmgren in Oklahoma City’s 111-103 Game 7 loss to San Antonio prompted Kendrick Perkins to call the Thunder center a “complete no-show” on ESPN.
Perkins said Holmgren was overwhelmed by Victor Wembanyama throughout the Western Conference Finals, arguing OKC now faces a real offseason decision at center.
Giannis Antetokounmpo emerged as Perkins’ proposed target, with the analyst saying Sam Presti should gauge whether Holmgren’s value could help land a star capable of matching Wembanyama.
Oklahoma City enters the summer with significant assets and tradable contracts, leaving its response to a conference finals exit as the broader question.
Is trading for Giannis a championship move, or a panic reaction that sacrifices OKC's carefully built future?
Has Wembanyama's dominance forced the Thunder to trade their young All-Star, Chet Holmgren?
