Sadly, I don't think he does.

Not sure what will happen to him though.

Surely Rudy gets the starting nod for the rest of the season, but does Kanter play at all?
 
Didn't AK ask to be traded and the jazz said no. Jazz don't seem to give in to players not named Deron Williams. Also Bell says hey.
 
A decision like this affects asset management in a big way. Going into next year, our two best assets for improving the team were Kanter and our next pick, and this decision affects the value of both. Kanter may have forced our hand in selling low on him. If he wants out, he would probably pull a Monroe rather than risk signing an offer the Jazz would match.

I wouldn't be surprised to see them do some damage control and try to salvage the situation. Bad situation, but it may be possible to salvage by convincing him to play out the year and then sign and trade him in the offseason. He can see the writing on the wall as far as not starting on the Jazz, but he might be talked into finishing out the year if he believes we'll give him a trade in the offseason.
 
Yeap. Seen it in a dream. I also saw in my dream Kanter beating up a ref out of frustration. Kid needs a solid mentor instead of his current agent and cult sergeants so much that it interrupts my dreams.
 
He did say something to the tune of if this doesn't happen I won't want to be here, and the Jazz and everyone else in the NBA knew he wouldn't resign with Utah

I doubt he's gone before the deadline. Small market teams can't give up on 22 year old bigs that average 14 & 8 just because they throw a fit. We've invested WAY too much into Enes to just let him go for pennies on the dollar.

When did he say that? I haven't seen any direct quotes from Enes.

I know he said it in an interview shortly after Brewer was traded and he constantly said that's why I signed for the minimum of three years, but my point is that everyone that knows anything about the NBA knew he wasn't resigning.

If anything, Kanter's comments will have more teams coming out of the woodwork to inquire on Kanter's availability. I highly doubt the Jazz will value him any less because of the comments. This is a business, and they will run it as such. If they can get what the believe is fair value in a trade that makes sense for the team, they will do it. Otherwise they keep him. I'm guessing he still starts too.

I did notice that his defense was actually pretty good last night, especially on Dirk.
 
Now that he's made a fuss about wanting to be traded, he'll poison the atmosphere in a sensitive period where the team is finally building chemistry and a cohesive identity. I think the Jazz should, and will, trade him. I think they'd do it even if it's for a second rounder.

This, team chemistry is a key component and Quin was doing wonders with this. Then this Lego head comes out and says he wants out, not good for the locker room. Kanter needs to go, the sooner the better.

Team is probably stoked. It can't be fun playing with a black hole who is terrible at help defense.
 
I hope so ... I think Phoenix may be the right choice, for IT, but I think we will need a third team, because Phoenix wants to move Plumlee. They need to move IT because they have too many point guards, and it will make things easier for them to resign Dragic. Also, they need a scoring big like Kanter and he fits that role better than Plumlee. So, who would the third team be that could offer Phoenix a good piece for Plumlee. Also, Horny knows Kanter, though I don't know what kind of relationship they had.

Forgot to add Burke into this. So we add Burke in the Plumlee deal, which will get Phoenix another player and us a draft choice from the third team.

Agree on both points.
Kanter is clearly frustrated and it boiled over. But both sides could reconcile and pass it off as just a misunderstanding about his injury and emphasize how important he is to the success of the team. I do think he'll likely just sign the QO with whatever team he is on (unless he gets offered a ridiculous contract).
 
I don't think so, but I hope he does.

If he doesn't, I hope either his attitude improves or he gets sat for a long period of time. Either way I hope Gobert starts after at least the trade deadline.
 
This is a disaster. Jazz have angered what is there best chance of a first team all star and will now trade him for pennies on the dollar. What they should be doing is giving him 20 shots per game and averaging 30 plus points.
