The Real Decision - Gobert and Burke

[One Brow]

That is a false choice. If Kanter gets 75 minutes from Williams, he has the third most minutes on the team, behind only Hayward and Burke (2213)

If Kanter had not started the season injured, he would have had those 75 minutes easily.

However, it is extremely silly to think an additional 75 minutes, tacked onto the 2100+ minutes he already played, is the difference between developing Kanter and not developing Kanter. Giving him minutes just to boost him on the minutes chart makes no sense at all.

Cough cough Gobert?

Cough cough raw and needs basic skills and talent before additional court time will be useful?

It would be silly to think that (who is thinking that?)

I was responding to your comment that in order for Kanter to move up he would have to take minutes from someone in the top 5. Asking questions about Kanter taking Trey Burke's minutes -- not that is silly.

One brow, we get it, you hate Kanter. Go talk to Vermin and he will help you feel better.

trade burke and let's watch him become a top 10 PG by 3rd year.

If Gobert can be a starter, why trade Kanter? If it was favors and gobert, we have little scoring from the bigs. Kanter + Gobert seem a better combo.

As to Burke, I may not have watched enough to know for sure, but it seems like he lacks essential quickness: he could not get around guys and into the lane. Am I wrong about that? If not, that makes him a mediocre starting pg. Maybe good enough considering the other pieces, but only a role player, at best a Mike Conley type guy

If he could be as good as Conley, then he'd be good enough to be the PG on a championship team. Conley is very underrated. You put him on OKC instead of Westbrook and they have a championship team (of course, they'd still need Ibaka).

Should've had more time on the court last year to see if he can develop them ...

So, with Hayward entering a contract year, you feel we would be better off not knowing if he could handle being the major scorer on a team, and being unsure if he was worth of a maximum contract?

i knew that answer after seeing him play his first three years and about 30 games into his 4th.

As far as your responses regaurding kanter and burks. Ya they played alot..... i still think they should have played even more.
Notice i have never complained about haywards minutes? Bump burks and kanter up near haywards minutes and im happy.

Giving him minutes just to boost him on the minutes chart makes no sense at all.

playing him less minutes just for no reason at all makes no sense at all too imo
