David Locke toasts Kanter on 1280

[Grandpa Jazz]

Not been a fan of David Locke in the past. His comments overall and his behavior about Hot Rods passing ( not to mention he admitted he was wrong about Enes previous to this situation- Who admits they are wrong about anything anymore?) have left me with a different view of David than I had previously. So it requires me to say I have been wrong about Mr. Locke up to this point. You go David! Enes has left me feeling very let down and disillusioned about his basic character. What a shame!

The blue elephant and sex favors are kind of not good.

And b-line is one of those posters who always forms his opinion based on what the majority think. In other words, you bring very little to any discussion, son.

Very disappointing response. I was hoping you would give examples and facts but instead said "jazz are worse with Kanter, team is completely different blah blah." You literally didn't respond to a single thing he said. The fact that the Thunder are winning without Ibaka and Durant. The fact that the Jazz were improving even before the trade. The fact that Kanter played very well and was perfectly complimented by Ibaka. Literally nothing...

I have been a Kanter supporter from the minute we drafted him. I felt injuries and Corbin seriously hindered his development, but thought his defense was finally improving under Quin. In spite of his deficiencies, I hoped that he would play out his career as a Jazz man. But I am first and foremost a Jazz fan, so when Kanter asked to be traded, I knew he was history -- sad to see him go, but I wasn't going to defend a player who didn't want to be here. And I wished him success .................... until he trashed my Jazz in the media.
.
I really don't give a damn now about how badly Kanter was or wasn't treated. He asked to be traded and he trashed the franchise, the players, and the fans. Those are the only facts that matter. **** you, Kanter, **** your agent, and **** whatever team you sign with next year!

Not sure I agree fully with this.

Burks seems to have made it through the Corbin years ok.

It is possible this has more to do with the player than the coach, imo.

I agree, Burks had it even tougher ... but I hated Corbin so much, I can't help but empathizing with those guys who came up when he was the coach.

I'm sorry, but how did Burks have it tougher? I agree he had it really bad years 1-2, but his role was clearly defined in his third year, and he was relied upon. Enes was still being jerked around his entire third year, then benched for Marvin Williams.

Here is the game logs for 13-14 in case you,ve forgotten. There were games he only played twelve ****ing minutes. https://www.basketball-reference.com/players/k/kanteen01/gamelog/2014/

you're a joke.

Did you even read the post you submitted? I was actually asking a sincere question.

I'm pretty confident that Jazz would rather this just go away. I doubt they'd give Locke a script and tell him to go on the radio about it after the fact.

I agree. This should be treated like a mosquito in the ear type distraction. Focus on the important stuff.

I was thinking of year 2 when he played so well in Summer League and then the first half of the season he was continually getting DNPs or very little minutes.

Jazz management toyed with Kanter somehow...they claim they did all their best to make him happy but I didn't notice much support to his game when he was on the court....he never had a clear role on the team, they didn't exploit his offensive talent, they allowed Corbin to scapegoat him publicly....your teammates and fans don't respect you when your coach scapegoat you like that....where was the management support and defense?

Objectively Kanter has few reasons to be happy during his Jazz time, he was part of a rebuilding and tanking team for almost three seasons, he spent two seasons sleeping on the bench despite showing promising games, he didn't contribuite to win games and so on....he must blame himself first of all but the management isn't without guilts.

Locke speaks about trust and said the Jazz didn't trust in Enes attitude to pay him....the point is the Jazz didn't trust in Enes game first of all.

His frustration is understandable but there was no need to express it publicly like he did....he just gave extra reasons to his haters and he has been disrespectful with fans like me that supported him heavily.
Probably he has still bad blood against the Jazz management for the way they treated him during the first three seasons but he could keep it for himself....in spite of everything the Jazz indulged his wish to be traded despite getting almost nothing in return.

I'm sorry, but how did Burks have it tougher?

Burks was losing his playing time to raja, josh howard, cj.miles, randy foye, and richard jefferson.

Kanter was losing playing time to milsap, big al, favors, and marvin. (Enes actual was handed the starting role ahead of marvin as well)

I think millsap is better than foye
Big al is better than richard jefferson
Favors is better than cj miles
And marvin is better than bell or howard.

Burks got screwed harder imo
