Put Kanter to rest...once and for all.

[oldtimer]

Classic example of a strawman poll. There is of course another option. Keep them all. Kanter was restricted and would have signed his tender to play one more year for the jazz. The jazz got nothing of value from the trade other than a late round pick in the future that might never even make the team and the ability to start gobert. The coaching staff could have started gobert anyway so all we got is some cap space. I would have kept kanter before trading him for cap space and the very late draft picks.

And? Just because he *might* sign the QO doesn't change anything. He would have even less trade value being 1 year unrestricted free agent and certainly wasn't helping the Jazz win games.

Being on the qualifying offer 1 year deal, Kanter would have had to approve any trade the Jazz worked out, although that wouldn't necessarily have been a huge roadblock.

The answer is obviously Kanter - it was glaringly obvious even before the season started that Enes didn't fit in QS's system.

For me (and I imagine most folks) it's not about the fact that they traded Kanter, it's that they gave him away for nothing and waited until he put egg on the franchise's face before they did.

And look, advanced basketball analytics have their place, I subscribe to many of them. But these folks who wave them in the air and use them to assert Kanter is useless have their heads up their collective asses. A guy who can give you 20/10 on any given night will always have high value and always have a place in this league. Enes Kanter is no exception.

Jazz FO ****ed up big time with Kanter - but I've moved on.

Kanter doesnt fit into QS's system? Gobert doesnt have an offensive game!

Kanter fits into any NBAs system if he's used proper. Look he went from 14/8 to 18/11 after getting unchained from the Miller's. They were trying i keep his value down and demanded QS make him look bad. Jazz wanted to pay him Loggrad. They wanted to pay him half his value.


18/11. Wake up. Future 1st team all star.

Also the Gobert and Favors frountcourt doesen´t fit in Quins system. Their is no pace, no spacing just a pure defensive team right now. It´s winning some games right now, but it´s not what was planed...

And that my friends is life. Life is something that happens on our way to our plans.

Kanter had too many bad memories here to fix things. During the Corbin era he wasnt given the confidence he needed to excel. Corbin messed him up.

Yeah, but if you want to make the Play-Offs you still need a guy like Ryan Anderson playing around 28 minutes a game and providing some spacing on this team. Their is need to win longterm more than winning shortterm.

I am so grateful you aren't the Utah Jazz GM.

Do you really think Kanter will average 18/11 when Durant comes back? Kanter has yet to play a game with KD. Durant is a premier scorer in the league, he's going to get his 25-30 points per game, Kanter will go back to his 14/8. You watch...
