Kendrick Perkins didn't get a chance to teach the Pelicans about proverbial next step

So, Kendrick Perkins. Do you have extremely strong feelings about the guy, one way or the other?

He had some fun quotes, like the time he told Yahoo!, "At the end of the day, this is not what I signed up for."

But he never should have played so much, so often, as the Pelicans third center on the depth chart. Granddaddy Perk averaged 14.6 minutes in 37 games played. His statistics failed to jump off the page: 2.5 points off 53 percent shooting, 3.5 rebounds and a team low 6 PER (excluding Orlando Johnson, Jimmer Fredette and Nate Robinson who all played less than six games this season).
