Did We Give Up on Kanter and Hood Too Soon

[Ron Mexico]

No


Hood chocked hard under pressure and an even bigger issue could not stay healthy. I would be happy to pick him back up but him and his agent wanted more than we would have paid. We traded him for something instead of letting him walk.

We still wanted Kanter just not to start. He is not better than Gobert and no team in the NBA would start him over Gobert. He demanded a trade publicly, so we traded him for low since he killed his own trade value. Kanter then talked **** about the team and Utah. He has been on 3 teams since and its been proven he is not a starter in the NBA. Maybe he turns that around but that is years after the fact he demanded a trade because a player was better than him. Instead of working hard to fit in or even surpass the player that was better than him he threw a little kid temper tantrum and got traded away like he wanted. Maybe he grows up and starts working hard and becomes a solid player but that is not reason to regret losing him when he was a far different player. The same could be said of Lyles.

I think we can get Trey Lyles back for cheap. He is doing viscious pine right now.

Also Mission Accomplished never lets facts get in the way of his narrative of the Jazz FO has all teh sucks, all of them.

You should pity @Mission Accomplished He used to be KOC Begone and his trolling shtick died with O'Connor's retirement, and he's never been able to muster up another one that makes sense.

I bet Kanter works hard on his craft. He improved a lot here and has since. My issue was he thought he was or would become better than what the reality is. Good on him for wanting more, but I think reality has set in and he's more accepting of his role now. Too bad it's taken him being on other teams to realize it. He could have had it every bit as good here if it wasnt for that pesky fan calling him Kwame Kanter.

I'm shocked Portland survived through the egg that Kanter laid today.

 

[FalseFlagg K]

this is not boxing out by any rules of the game. It is intentional elbowing. Should be at least flagrant 1.

yeah that wasn't a genuine box out establishing position move

Both Kanter and Hood had attitude problems, took beatings, and are more mature on a team that clearly has an alpha.

Exum is different. His issue isn’t his attitude. His issue is his health. He isn’t dependable.

I don't believe that Hood had an attitude problem. If he did, Mitchell and others wouldn't still be raving about him.
