Enes kanter will be traded

Evans is one of the vets? I don't even know why I come here anymore.

Not one of the core 4 (which is what most of the corbin bitchin has been about)
 
Bottom line is fans way overestimated the talent in a few young guys and haven't been honest with themselves about it yet.

Exactly.

I wouldn't say talent though. Fans just expected them to play like they were all in their primes, not like young rookies.
 
Ya it was probably just coincedence that kanters minutes went way up when favors got in foul trouble.
Im sure corbin planned on giving kanter over 30 minutes all along due to matchups.
Did you even read my post? First time since Kanter's last start that Kanter and Favors played together in the 4th. Corbin tried Marvin on Blake in the 1st half, so I don't think foul trouble explains this. Corbin went with Kanter at least in part because of matchups and quality of play.
 
I haven't been on here much lately, but I have praised Corbin during that limited time. I thought the team was totally lost 15 games into the season, but he's been able to pull them around into some nice bball. That couldn't have been easy, and it's almost definitely a sign that he's a good locker room guy and communicator.

So, Ty can probably be a good coach.

Great coaches in today's NBA are also good at situational coaching. I give Corbin pretty low marks in this aspect. (Sloan wasnt very good either tbh).
 
Maybe you yes, but there are too many fans in bad faith in this site...


Nobody has to have faith in a player that didn't show the quality of a 3rd overall draft pick in his first 3 years. Not that he didn't show anything, he did show some amazing talents that you cannot see from any guy in his size. But you can't blame people who grow tired and eventually fall to impatience for his still-to-come success. 20/20 game was the game holding Kanter up among all the other performances. It says, this guy can be big. And I too believe he will be big. But I fear that may be in another team, if Corbin is unsatisfied with him and is thinking of removing him.

@Gameface; coaches teach basketball even if you are 35 bro. If you've been to one of'em scrimmages or drills, watch one of the coaches do his thing, you've been to them all. They boss you around. It is the healthy way to coach. Not to go complete chicken-**** on the veterans.

I believe that without favors getting in foul trouble that kanter would have played his usual 15-20 minutes regardless of marvin getting killed by griffin or how good or bad kanter played.
You believe that kanter played so much because he performed well, marvin was a bad matchup, and favors got into foul trouble.... and i dont necessarily think you are wrong, i just feel that if favors doesnt get into foul trouble, then kanter plays his normal minutes.
No one knows who is right or wrong.

Its like frank said "Theres always a way to spin it."


Take burks career: Frank might say that foye, howard, bell, cj miles, etc etc were all better than burks and burks was not ready and his confidence would have been destroyed and he developed better from the bench. And he might be right.

I think that burks was better than those guys from the start, his development was hindered by dnp's, inconsistent minutes, inconsistent role, and his confidence affected by never getting the nod over a vet.
I might be right too.
no one knows for sure

What i do know for sure is that for whatever reason (right or wrong) corbin has a history of playing vets over young high draft picks and that upset alot of jazz fanz myself included
 
How do you explain the 4 minutes Kanter and Favors played together in the 4th?

It all began in the first half with favors foul trouble allowing kanters solid play to get his foot in the door for those minutes in the 4th.
So I believe if favors doesn't get in foul trouble then enes never gets a good chunk of first half minutes to show what he could do and never gets those 4th quarter minutes.

So I guess I agree with you somewhat. Kanter playing well did help his cause for more minutes.

But I believe favors foul trouble is the root cause and without that, the rest is moot.
On the other hand, maybe even if kanter plays poorly he still gets some extra minutes because corbin has no choice due to the foul trouble.... though maybe a few minutes less

So it was his 2 additional minutes in the 2nd quarter (Blake went 3-3, Kanter didn't accumulate any stats in these 2 minutes) that led to Enes's additional 4th quarter minutes (Favors was pulled with 3 fouls with 2:26 left in the 2nd; Kanter was pulled with 0:14 left in the 2nd)? That makes no sense.

You are right
 
You're no fun.

Anyone else catch Corbin's post-game comments about Kanter?

"He played a good game on both ends of the floor...He was the beast that we’re looking forward to him being."
