Would Philly want Kanter?
Could we get a 2nd round pick and KJ McDaniels for Kanter?

I'd rather have Isaiah Thomas.
Also, having Patterson on your team subtracts the contribution from Trevor Booker. If indeed Patterson would play ahead of him. If he didn't, then that just makes him worthless.
So essentially, you are trading Enes and Booker for Patterson? You might as well right? If Booker is just gonna be buried on the bench.
We should at least use Enes's value in a area of need, and a player with upside or a player established as a starter.
If Enes isn't enough, then combine it with picks. Take your best shot.

You'd be surprised, but maybe.
Yeah he is going to be a UFA, which is why they may prefer Kanter.
There are precisely 2 reasons why anyone would want Kanter right now, with RFA coming in the summer - a contender who needs offensive punch from their bigs off the bench or a team that considers Kanter a long-term key piece and is willing to match any offer in the summer. I honestly don't see anyone looking at Kanter as a key piece for any franchise with his horrible advanced stats and defense, low BBIQ and inability to pass. What Philly have been doing so far is the exact opposite to what such a trade would accomplish - they've been getting rid off pretty much every single piece that they don't consider long-term solution for them and they've been accumulating assets for their garbage pieces.
I would absolutely love that trade too, but again - I don't see them doing it.

I've thought about that too. I wonder what he is going to get as a free agent next year. I wonder if they are holding him back a little to hold down his value. We will have to pay him, but this could be golden opportunity to get someone good on a really decent deal. What if he gets like 6 mil a year and out plays it by a lot. The potential is there for that to happen.
Kanter has proven that he isn't a legit starting PF/C in this league. I doubt any team would offer more than $10m for him.
And at that price I'd rather keep him and see if he can develop.

Bird rights. They can pay more than any other team. Why any player would want to stay in Philly is beyond me though. So yeah, he is likely gone.

Even if we get him on the cheap, he may not be happy here coming off the bench. And there is a possibility he continues to sorta suck the rest of his career. You know, good like Al Jefferson, but not good.

Inefficient players are only good for bench scoring. If kanter wants to be something, he he got to get his head on straight. When he came in super fit that one training camp, I thought he had it figured out. Then he went nuts. The Jazz should have just payed someone to be his father during the season, and they could slap him around a few times a week, keep him in line.
