Kanter's Injury is NOT More Serious Than It Has Been Declared! And He Might Be in the FIBA WC 2014!

This loyalty to your country by playing basketball is exhausting and stupid. I realize that it's important to that country's fans, but gimme a break. He's an adult and if he doesnt want to play exhibition ball then so be it.

And no offense to Dalamon.. but there are plenty of better ways to get in shape for the season than traveling overseas, living out of a hotel, and playing some games at about 20 minutes per night.

If I were him I'd stalk QS until I made him start coaching me up.. now.

I disagree here. Getting "in shape" is different than a potential shot at being the focal point of a country's offense against the world's best. Would be invaluable for Kanter.

Of course Turkey's old offense was trash-- but I'm sure they've switched it up, and they would probably rely more on Kanter now


Kanter is being a diva. I can get over everything about him (including the defense comment) but this NT-fiasco is embarrassing.
 
What's better, going against the Gasols and team USA

Or shooting free throws with Kiki Vandeweghe

Well, since the last time he just shot free throws with Kiki he came back looking like this...

Turkish posters, do you think Kanter would be the focul point of the offense?
 
Turkey is in group C with the USA, the other teams are ****ty, they'l survive either way.

Dominican Republic - Finland - New Zealand - Turkey - Ukraine - USA

What makes you think they'd want him to play? Kanter's rookie contract is up after this coming season, and he's eligible for a contract extension now. If he plays poorly for the NT or gets injured, what might the Jazz agree to in an extension? If the extra NT games and practices negatively affect his games with the Jazz due to fatigue, how will it affect Enes's next contract? I'd guess the risk of playing for the NT are greater than the potential rewards.

Well first of all, national team means a lot to any turkish fan, citizen or player so he must play unless he is dead, at least thats what we turkish folks think.

Second, if enes is going to be an allstar player in nba, first he should learn how to face challanges, not to back off just because there is a risk of failure. It is a challange now, if he is going to be anything close to a good player we are hoping, he should go out there and make his mark on the tournament instead of making stupid tiny plans how to skip tournament.

If he is backing off right now, that means he doesnt deserve any potential rewards at all. Simple as it is.
