Enes Kanter for Otto Porter: A Wizards Fan's Perspective

[Stifle Tower]

Also, a quick look at the sweet cash list tells us that Rudy and Hood lead the team as being the most under-payed duders on the team. God bless rookie contracts and their sacred extensions.

This gives us a pretty good picture of where the Jazz will be at cap-wise. Deduct Christopher (waived). That puts Utah at $54M before holds. If they renounced Kanter and didn't pick up the option on Booker, that would put them at $49.3M for 8 players. Now add back a lottery pick - let's use a plug figure of $3M and 3 minimum salaries (about $500K each) to get to roughly $51M. Cap was $63M; let's assume it goes up slightly to $66M. That gives Utah a maximum of $15M to go after a free agent - if they decide against keeping Enes. Add in an additional $3.8M if the Jazz trade Novak's contract.

Novak and Ingles at the same time sounds like luxury for a system like the Jazz. One of them could be switched to a similar contract wing, or a backup frontcourt if Kanter is goner. This picture you've drawn tolls the bells for Kanterminator.

If I were the Jazz and Clark Kant is bye-bye material, I would focus on below Max quality wing players to pace up the game. Below because of the ****ing franchise and city choosing aristocrat players. Wing because this system needs pace and quickness.

Only true thing you said is about the passing. Luckily for my argument, Porter doesn't either. 6.8 AST% is atrocious for a wing.

Check the other thread for links to stats on his shooting. Everyone can have an of game, but altogether, what he's done has been impressive.

Defense? Actually reliable at it when opponets are within 10 ft. In top half of Western conference big men starters at this. Problem is perimter D, which every big struggles with. Our wings/gaurds will get better, and we can also draft a perumeter defender thus year. We don't need to trade Enes for pennies.

Porter dropping dimes w/ Wall out in the PO. Crazy what happens when your role changes and you aren't playing off a ball dominant PG. Eat that crow. OP is OP.
