Contrary to reports, Steve Novak is headed to OKC, not Detroit.

lmao. Jazz reporters went with OKC, then Detroit, stayed on Detroit... Now they'll switch back to OKC?

We will also see more of Booker, who will be a bigger part of the team than he has been, and will be more likely to be around in the future.

And Kanter was? Favors has been our most consistent player all year. Hayward has been better lately but Favors is not far behind and played best when Gobert was starting with him.

All true; but Utah has no one to pick up the 14 points Kanter brought. The rest of the season is going to be ugly

Three teams in this trade. Two teams got real players with proven NBA pedigrees. The third team is the Jazz.

You would rather get nothing? How much would you bitch if he walked out the door for nothing in 1.5 years? Or got a max offer this off season that was not matched?

Exactly. We have multiple posters thinking Kanter will walk for nothing and we should take ANYTHING we can get for him. Now we have a couple of bozos thinking we got too little for a player who bitched about his playing time and demanded a trade. Yes, by all means let's hang on to this guy, play him over a guy with a fantastic attitude who everyone but Enes LOVES and is the talk of the NBA (Gobert). Maybe we'll even be lucky enough to have Gobert demand a trade next season if he's still on the bench. Meanwhile, Enes would be in Utah on a qualifying offer demanding a max contract to stay. Kanter is a poor man's Boozer or Jefferson. Empty stats.

sweet we got a first round pick and improved our tank position. anything else is just padding on the cake.

Maybe. But when Kanter was hurt the team did not lose much.

The Jazz will dive down to their own top 5 pick in the draft ....and solidify their new reputation as a minor league team for teams trying to win the NBA Championship.

Careful, you'll get negged for that.

Those numbers are from last season. He's averaged 14 minutes in the ACB and 12 in the Euroleague for Barcelona this year. His numbers are fine per40 (pace adjusted), but the dude fouls A LOT, which should only get worse playing in the NBA.

Plus he's under contract for another 2 years. At the earliest he'll be 27 before he's eligible to play for Utah. Sounds like a BWS destined to bounce around Europe for the rest of his career.

We also get D'Angelo Russell and Wes Matthews/Middleton. HUGE deal for Utah. Could be Hornacek level deal.

Puts the Jazz in a better position to land them but let's not count our chickens before they hatch.

Is there confimation on the picks? At work and things are moving to fast...

Have you ever heard of something called Sunk Cost Fallacy? Please look it up. Where would Kanter go in a re-draft?

I have him going 8th. Probably higher than the selection we will end up getting.

He is one of the worst defenders in the NBA and advanced metrics generally say the worst center in the league.

Kendrick Perkins is plainly worse than Kanter.
