GVC still working that DL is overrated shtick I see. He must have missed Jeff Van Gundy showering him with praise recently.

Well if JVG said it, then.....

Keep in mind, Dal was raised in an authoritarian culture. It's not really his fault.

The big dirty secret is that if Gobert doesn't become what he became as soon as he did, we were likely going to resign Kanter. THAT is why he wasn't traded. Getting lucky in the late round of a draft lets you do things like essentially cut Kanter. The fact that the Jazz shipped him out showed the rest of the Team that defense really does matter. It was an expensive object lesson, but a really good one.

I think you are overlooking the big picture. I believe that Portland made the max offer because they knew OKC had to match. They were simply putting the hurt on a rival. OKC matched because they had to if they wanted any hope of keeping Durrant. Kanter was in the fortunate position of being their only real option.

It seems crazy that some people think the Jazz should have gotten more in this trade. If more was available don't you think they would have taken it?

Portland didn't offer a max contact just to screw okc. If that was the case they wouldn't have structured a contract making it harder to match. They wanted Kanter. Both teams wanted Kanter along with many other teams. OKC had a decent offer for Kanter just below max so they would have paid him a lot either way. I know it's hard but many teams in the NBA like/liked Kanter and wanted to pay him. He does some things very well. There is more to this but it's not big picture to think Portland only signed him to screw another team and had no interest in him or thought there wasn't a chance of him not being matched.

Next, jazz should have traded kanter earlier when he requested trades internally before he forced jazz hand and lowered his value. Secondly there were other offers but jazz thought that both players they got had potential and could work out at the time. They were wrong, the other offers were probably better looking back. Either way they miss handled the situation and the player. That doesn't mean they haven't done other things well or the team isn't better without him.

This is just unacceptable. You're either a lover or a hater. There's no room for limp-wristed nuance on Jazzfanz.

Canada?

Canada?

I was being far more bigoted than that. Plus, Canada doesn't really have a culture. Well...I guess Alberta has American culture.
