Kanter traded to OKC

Kanter is prisoned to dirty work and play much less post up and midrange now I think. His scoring might drop.

How is Kanter prisoned for dirty work.......He has the whole in the paint play for OKC now .All defenses are geared for Durant and Westbrook and Ibaka's game has moved outside .Durant and Westbrook are willing passers .Kanter will have way more open looks with OKC

Another thing ,everyone talks like DL is this great GM ...well Sam Presti has shown he is ....AND ...we went for Kanter OVER Brooks Lopez
 
I don't get why this is so hard to understand. This summer is the last summer Utah will have a chance to be relevant. Resigning Kanter dooms us to a second round playoff exit at best. This move gives us a chance to win a title. This summer is HUGE for this organization. Between the draft pick and cap space, this is Utah's last chance to significantly get better. Why waste that on Kanter? Plus you tell me this move will get us a better pick this year, plus a pick in the future, plus max cap space?

I'm in. This is a great trade.

They gained less than 4 million in cap space. It's not life changing like breast plants.
 
Either you know less than nothing or you're trolling.

Here's the quick run-down:

Everyone in the league is going to have the functional equivalent of max cap space because of jumps in the salary cap from the new league TV deal. When everyone has max cap space, no one has max cap space.

New York and Utah are obviously comparable in terms of free agent desirability. So I guess you got me there.
That jump won't occur until 2016, so the Jazz have an opportunity to add pieces this summer with the extra space from dumping Novak (not all that significant). If DL strikes out again this summer, he'll have done a pretty **** job overall through his first 3 seasons. Dude took over a playoff team with a couple fringe all-stars and 4 decent, high upside lottery picks. He's now effectively turned 3 of those pieces into a 2018 mid- to late-1st round pick, acquired no impact players through non-draft trades or free agency, and has a mixed/incomplete record in the draft (I'm not as high on Exum OR Gobert as most on the board). What am I missing?

The Thunder included ex-Arizona PF Grant Jerrett in the three-way deal, per @DarnellMayberry. So it's possible he could be headed to Utah.


wtf is going on? I'm so confused. What exactly did we get? Does anyone Know?

He's a D-Leaguer so my guess is his bags are already packed and he's on the way to Utah.
 
Everyone knows that you are playing the "I am Turkish but I try to be objective, a.k.a. I bash Enes Kanter" card.

STOP THIS A$$ kissing. We got it!

I'm not talking about Kanter right now. I wished he would stay in Utah but he won't. No need to discuss about it. He is gone and I hope the best for both sides.
JUST STOP being like this.
You are ridiculous as those Turkish Enes Kanter fans who think Kanter is made of gold. You are the same, just in opposite direction.
I want Enes to be succcesful. But I also think ehat I always said all along. I will support him no matter where he plays, but I am not playing that role as a fake attitude you speak of. I am honest in what I say.

OKC can't give up their pick this season, since it was already traded, so it'll have to be a future one, in 2016 (pick swap), 2017 or later.

2017 could be interesting... Now we have to hope KD leaves lol. Then we'd have our pick, GSW pick, OKC pick in a strong draft

Two picks and cap space for Enes Kanter, who Utah may have had no intention of re-signing anyway, is a really solid haul for the Jazz.
