So you are saying kanter would have been better with someone like ibaka always praising him and telling him how good he is?

Heh, posted mine just before I saw this. Thanks for having my back.
 
Status on OKC's Enes the Menace:

There are people close to Kanter who are skeptical that the Thunder will match, but general manager Sam Presti said in no uncertain terms Thursday that he plans to do so.

"We haven't received an offer sheet as of yet," Presti told The Oklahoman newspaper Thursday regarding the deal that was first reported by Yahoo Sports. "But our intention has been to match offers on Enes and nothing has changed in this regard.

OKC paying a ton of money in luxury tax for one season. According to Hoops Hype, OKC payroll is at $79M with Kanter in at $7M, so add $10M to that. There isn't much on their roster they can dump. I guess Collison and Novak. But they'll have to give up picks to do so. Or they just bite the bullet and take an additional $10M? hit in taxes.

Kanter is the gift that keeps on giving.

I guess it's about $35 million for Kanter for next season. Yikes.
 
The best part is the trade kicker that pretty much guarantees that Kanter is a Thunder for the life of his contract. There is no way in Hell we would have paid 17 million for Kanter, so any trade we got was a good trade. Hope that team falls apart this year and loses their stars because screw them for moving the Sonics.
