Please just let Kanter be traded to put an end to the maddening apologists.

Same can be said for maddening haters.

But in all seriousness, with the Tomic talk and the draft having us taking Vonleh that will give the Jazz Kanter, Favors, Gobert, Tomic, Evans and Vonleh at the 4 & 5. If that is the case I see 1 or 2 being moved.

Everyone said Marc Gasol would be a stiff in the NBA.

Holy ****. I dont think it will happen, but what if Tomic comes over and is as good as Gasol? We would be pretty damn good with Favors, Hayward, Tomic and Burke. Pretty much would be the Grizzlies 2.0. And that is without adding our draft picks from this year.

And excluding Burks, Gobert and Kanter.
 
I've gotta admit as the draft nears, Im leaning more towards trading Kanter. Vermin's signature bothers the **** out of me, I have a hard time not believing RJ 100%, it seems to me like RJ is genuinely calling him out for something bizarre he hasn't seen in all of his years, its tough to connect any sort of agenda to that comment.

I truly believe Tomic is serviceable in the NBA, ive watch 3X more ACB action this year than i ever had, hes got some legitimate polish to his game, he will be able to get his shots off in the NBA, I trust him for 15 mins per game more than any of this years free agent centers, not named Monroe, Gortat or Hawes.

I'd say Tomic fits the mold of a guy you could start at center and play around 20 minutes or less, remember he was playing 40 minute games. his Per 40 #s are badass, around 20ppg, 11rebs, 3.5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in the past 2 years of ACB and Euroleague play.

No mention of alec? :-(

Kanter makes 6 mil next year, i cant imagine teams will be lining up to trade their pick in the teens for him going into a contract year.

Tomic is good, but he won't start. Even though he is older, and heralded in europe, I don't think he is ready to play starter's minutes for a full 82. Last year, he only averaged 22mins a game on a schedule where they play like once a week, right? Now you want him to jump into 82 games w/ 30 something minutes a night? Not happening. I think we'd see him off the bench, w/ the occasional start depending on matchup. Favors & Tomic, and Kanter & Gobert, & Kanter & Favors. Those three frontcourt lineups offer some serious potential.

Agree.
Favors and Kanter start. When Tomic comes in, you have Favors play PF. Tomic can play around 20 mins initially, allowing Kanter and Enes to each play 30 and Gobert 15. If Tomic develops into an NBA starter, then the Jazz can trade Enes at the deadline or try for a S&T (provided he doesn't sign a new deal this summer). If Tomic isn't NBA quality, you let him go back to Europe if he wants or remain on the team as a backup.

That's nowhere close to Memphis' level of talent. Were you one of those 35+ win predictors last summer by chance?

Kanter's already crying about minutes and says he doesn't care to play defense. Adding another big would plant an aerial firework so far up his *** that he'd try blowing the locker room up again when it lit off.

Best to trade the matador on draft day.
