Perkins announced Tuesday via his personal Twitter account that he accepted a broadcasting position with ESPN, presumably signaling the end of his playing career.

EDGE Analysis

The 34-year-old center last played professionally in the 2017-18 season and didn't attract any interest upon hitting the free-agent market more than a year ago. As a result, he'll now transition to a new role within basketball, hoping to put his 782 games' worth of NBA regular-season experience to good use as an analyst. During parts of 14 seasons in the league with the Celtics, Thunder, Cavaliers and Pelicans, Perkins averaged 5.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 assist in 21.9 minutes per contest.

Perkins was waived by the Cavaliers on Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perkins' team option for the 2018-19 season was picked up in late June in case salary filler was needed for a trade, but with free agency coming to a close, the Cavaliers no longer have a need for the veteran. Chances are Perkins' time in the NBA is done, especially since the Cavaliers are shifting towards building for the future.

Perkins will have his contract option for the 2018-19 season picked up by the Cavaliers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This decision was made to give the team a potential added contract to put in a trade this offseason. Perkins likely won't see much action if he does stay with the Cavaliers next season, as he didn't appear at all in the postseason.

Perkins signed a contract with the Cavaliers on Monday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

After being waived by the Cavaliers following the preseason, Perkins spent some time in the G-League this year, but will now get the chance to get called back up to the NBA ahead of the upcoming postseason run. Perkins, a 13-year NBA veteran, will provide some leadership and experience in the playoffs as a member of the Cavaliers, but likely won't see the court in a competitive contest. Perkins is not on the fantasy radar.

Perkins has retired from the G-League, where he was playing for the Canton Charge, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perkins' next career move is uncertain, but rumors were swirling about on Thursday's trade deadline that he could be looking at an NBA comeback. That said, even if that's the case, it seems unlikely he'd be fantasy relevant.

The Cavaliers waived Perkins on Saturday to finalize their 15-man roster, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perkins reportedly showed up to camp in terrific shape, but a loaded roster left him as the odd-man out. If interested, the veteran big man will likely be able to find a landing spot with another team. He averaged 4.0 points and 3.7 boards across 12.1 minutes in three exhibition games for the Cavs.

Perkins' training camp contract with the Cavaliers appears to be safe after the team opted to waive rookie JaCorey Williams to make room for Dwyane Wade, Joe Vardon of Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though it appeared likely Perkins' contract would be on the chopping block with Wade's arrival, his deal is at least safe through training camp. The team will have to make some moves to get down to 15 men before the start of the regular season, however, so his role on the team may be re-visited at that time.

Perkins will likely be cut by the Cavaliers before the start of the season, Joe Vardon of Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Cavs reached an agreement with Dwyane Wade on Tuesday, and the addition of the veteran means the team will need to clear a roster spot. Parting ways with Perkins would make room for Wade in camp, though Cleveland will need to make another move before the regular season to trim the roster to 15 players. Perkins, who did not play in the NBA last season, joined the Cavs on a camp deal on Sept. 21.

Perkins will sign a training camp deal with the Cavaliers, Joe Vardon of Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 12-year veteran's last NBA action came during the 2015-16 season with the Pelicans, where he averaged a meager 2.5 points and 3.5 rebounds across 14.6 minutes. He'll join the Cavaliers in an attempt to make a comeback, but is unlikely to make the final roster. That said, even if he does make the team, Perkins will be nothing more than a mentor to the younger players on the roster and wouldn't be a viable fantasy option.

Perkins failed to score, but collected four rebounds, one assist, and one block in Monday's 121-116 loss to the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

Perkins took only a single shot in his 17 minutes of court time. The 31-year-old was one of only eight active players for the Pelicans and the only big they had available to come off the bench. He is averaging 17.7 minutes per game during the month of April, but only averaging 3.5 points and 3.8 rebounds per game.
