Enes Kanter: Immaturity and controversial path he took

I think this is all being blown out of proportion. Not wanting to go to a team that has a log jam and no immediate plans of fixing it is not unreasonable. It's very logical. Answering a question with honesty isn't treachery, or a quality of a bad person.

As has already been said, the immature **** was said in his post shootaround interview. I think his post game was misconstrued, as is this. Why be so hyper-sensitive? Why look for **** to be pissed off about like a chemically imbalanced teenage baby mama?

It's not insulting at all. It's your fault and my fault he is getting paid that much. I don't see any argument that shows that NBA players aren't screwed by the draft. What other profession do you have potential to make millions and you have no say in where you play?

If my kid was a top 3 pick, and the #1 pick was Minnesota or Charlotte and LA was #2, I'd tell my kid to force his way to LA. I'd tell him to refuse to workout for Minn or Cha. Why send your kid to a horrible franchise? That's not fair to my kid.

It's the rules of game. Don't like the rules, then don't play the game.

Well, I'm just guessing here, but I think what pisses us off is that Kanter refuses to shut the **** up. He gaines nothing by continuing to bad mouth the Jazz, yet he just keeps pouring gasoline on the fire. Seriously, the guy continues to repeat the same mistake over and over like he has a learning disability.

Why is it badmouthing, when he says that he didn't want to come to Utah because he wouldn't get enough minutes to develop? The story is about his career and he told the whole story...
 
That's a garbage excuse too, though the only point I'll concede for him is that he was playing on a team with Ty "vets are the best" Corbin. Still, he could have got plenty of minutes of he were any good, or if he would have worked hard. He wasn't/didn't do either. Then when he gets minutes he cries like a bitch for a trade.

Then he should have been a great fit in Utah. Go figure.
The skit consisted of two fake telephone calls to the Jazz mascot from
someone mimicking Malone's voice and using some of the more
colorful verbal combinations he's known for.

Jazz owner Larry Miller played a part in the skit when he took the phone and hung
up on the "caller."

Malone, who spent his first 18 seasons with Utah, was especially
upset with a reference to Bryant's pending rape
trial.

"For them to put that out there about him, that's
disrespectful," Malone said when he heard about the skit. "I will
never, ever forgive them for this. No class at all."

Utah's front office apologized to Malone and the Lakers, but Malone publicly questioned the sincerity of the
apologies from the Jazz, who were fined $15,000 by the league for
the skit.

Paul Millsap is a garbage vet? Okur? Big Al? Favors? Marvin Williams?

^ that's who he had to compete with. The only one I would realistically expect any inexperienced rookie to outplay is Williams, which he did.

Gobert emerged this year, and Favors was already signed as a cornerstone. Do you begrudge being able to see Gobert play more? Gobert and Booker were crying for more minutes too, ya know. Tell me, why should a player with his potential have been content as a role player? That's the mindset that turns lotto picks into Marvin Williams. We just never had a fit for him. Maybe things would have been different had we not kept Ty the last year of his contract, or started the rebuild a year earlier. Who cares. We're going to be great without him. He'll be good too.

Let's say Exum doesn't start next year with Burks back, possibly bringing over Neto, or we get a vet PG. I'll be pissed if he resigns himself to a role player. Even if he isn't better than who is starting ahead of him, I know his potential. I don't want our lotto picks selling themselves short before they've really had a chance to grow--they are too painful to acquire.

We saw Enes' talents, but never had fertile ground for him to grow here. He needed minutes and a PG, we had little of either. Favors was already a year ahead of him in NBA development in NBA years, and more if you consider college, and as a defensive big, his impact was less reliant upon a PG. Gobert is a freak of nature, and also a defensive big. We just weren't Enes' right fit.

"What eo you miss about Utah" "Mountains, that's it" You would have to be pretty deaf to miss the badmouthing.
 
I think that if kanter gets v he is lucky though when i think about it. He is really strange bones.
