Enes kanter will be traded

Any player that gets drafted into the NBA is fully trained in basketball. NBA coaches don't teach players how to play basketball, they make game plans and lead the team. If Kanter is this badass you think he is then he'll be that badass when he's on the floor for whatever amount of time he gets.

I copy and past the interview with Tanjevic, ex coach of the Turkish national, made in 2012.

On Enes Kanter not playing on the national team in 2012, Tanjevic said that "Kanter? He is a huge talent and we miss him a lot. He decided not to join us but honestly, he needs us more than we need him. He didn't play or practice with us over the last three years. I had to replace him with Gonlum who was on vacation with his family. Without Kanter we risk a bit but I think we will be able to make it to Eurobasket 2013. Italy without Bargnani and Belinelli? I am not surprised at all considering that one of our guys from 1992 (Enes Kanter) refused to join us. America is the right place to lose your brain. First, because of the coaches who don't understant anything. In NBA there are just 3 or 4 good coaches who last for 100 years, gain billions and win trophies. The other ones are stupid, Tyrone Corbin included. I didn't want to call him. I should have told him and that I was going to do him a favour teaching basketball to one of his guys and he would have gained money on that. But I really can't talk to guys who don't know what they are doing. Kanter forgot how to play basketball. He will never be a center but he starts always back-to-the-basket. As PF/C he would be devastating. He is 210cm but he is the best shooter in the Turkish National Team, guards included. And in the NBA he never takes a shot."
 
What I really really really don't understand is why DL isn't telling Corbin that Kanter needs to be evaluated and developed and that giving him significant playing time is not an option, he must get time on the court. Same With Gobert. The team knows this isn't a playoff year, play the players we need to evaluate. Develop that defensive philosophy that was supposed to be what Corbin would be evaluated on. I have no idea how FOs work and what they do and do not tell a coach to do, but it seems to me this is an area where DL can issue some firm instruction to Corbin that will help the team long term. If Corbin is more interested in getting 5-10 extra wins because he thinks that helps his fututre coaching career you tell him that if he's more concerned with his future as a coach then for the team's future then he can hit the ****ing road and find another coaching gig somewhere else. Good Luck with that.

He's getting plenty of minutes to be evaluated by fans.

I think you're starting with a bad premise that the FO needs to see more floor time to find out what they got. 3 or 6 minutes more is not going to feed this kid miracle grow. If he has a growth spurt that earns him more evaluation time then he'll get it.

I agree with sacrificing Corbin in the interest of team growth though. DL either needs to extend his contract with those instructions or fire him and bring in a guy willing to "develop" at all costs.

Europeans are so funny. If only they were the big dog on campus they'd show us how right they are.

So you are not believing in developing players ? But, Im not even talking about developing, Im talkin about Kanter getting worse playin for Corbin. He lost his rebounding and he lost his strenght and his 3 point shot. Post-Moves, Jump-Shots he was always good at that. Corbin misusing Kanter badly.

Most of americans technically are europeans who immigrated at a unkwon country, so technically you are european,too.

Neither of the youngs has developed under Corbin...Favors is having a solid season but he didn't boom definitively neither.

Not a smart decision to give a bunch of young players to a coach that has no coaching experience....also Corbin is developing as a coach.

My premise is that Kanter isn't playing well and with more time on the floor he'll get more opportunity to not play well and help us lose a few extra games. I'm wondering why DL isn't telling Corbin to play certain players more and letting him play the players that help him "win now" instead of playing players that could, one way or another, help us win more later.

But also, you tell Kanter he's going to get his time this year. This year. If he uses that time to execute on our defensive philosophy he'll be part of our "core" going forward. If he won't or can't then we'll try to find a good trade for him this off season.

You think Corbin did that to Kanter? You think Kanter is the type of guy who gets worse at rebounding because his NBA coach isn't teaching him how to rebound?

GTFO

Most Europeans would be speaking German... you know what, never mind.
 
Lol. Kanter still has hope and he is being judged to soon. He still has a good chance of being great for Utah. Such a rush to judge.

If your coach tells you to focus more in boxing out, your teammates will take the rebounds instead of you.

Sounds pretty good to me. Any team player should be pretty happy with that situation. Fans, too.
