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

After splitting time between the Thunder and Cavaliers last season, Perkins joins the Pelicans in 2015-2016 to serve as a mentor for budding superstar Anthony Davis. Perkins appeared in 68 games combined last season, averaging only 3.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 0.6 blocks in 17 minutes per game. However, after moving to Cleveland, Perkins' playing time dried up to just less than 10 minutes per game. He also shot a career-worst 45 percent from the floor. Although just 30 years old, Perkins has a lot of mileage on his body as he enters his 13th season. Perkins will likely be slotted behind Omer Asik and Alexis Ajinca in the center pecking order at the start of the season and may need some injuries to get consistent playing time.
