How bad is Kanter?

Lindsey certainly isn't immune to criticism. No one is. That said, I want to touch on some of what GVC said regarding Millsap and Jefferson. If I recall, they were both UFA's on the last year of their contract in 2013. GVC, how much do you really think we lost out on, if anything? Given that they were going to be UFA's and had fairly sizable contracts AND that we would've had to take back salary not only in accordance with the CBA but also such that did not (hopefully) go beyond that year and prohibit us from any future deals, while at the same time having said trade partner be willing to throw in pick(s) because let's face it, the trade partner isn't likely trading us a solid player so picks are very likely going to have to be involved more often than not, doesn't simply involve just waving a wand and seeing such a trade appear. Especially when Kevin O'Connor was still in the role of Vice-President of Basketball Operations during that season. Sure, Lindsey was the GM but let's not kid ourselves, I'm sure O'Connor had a large, if not deciding, say in trade matters still at that time. So, to provide a narrative that Lindsey failed during that season in not being able to trade either of those players is a wholly unfair and perhaps inaccurate statement.

Also he never gave Snyder a chance.

The only person who's mismanaged Kanter is Kanter. Who decided to come over to UK? Kanter. Who decided to select an agent with no other clients tmk? Kanter. Who decided to semi-bash the team he played for? Kanter (and his agent). Dude is an immature prima donna who doesn't have a ****ing clue as to his place in the pecking order of the league.

Mismanaged himself all the way to a almost 100 million guaranteed by the time he's 27. What a dummy!

GVC, you probably didn't see it but I thought I'd bump to see if you'd respond.
