How bad is Kanter?

I'm aware of your point and it's a valid one.

But The Jazz have already eaten one guaranteed contract (albeit minimal) and will probably end up eating another in order to get these two stiffs off the 15 man roster.

DL should have done better.

Small price to pay for handicapping a future conference rival.
 
OKC needs more time than this season to settle down with the new coach 'n all and obviously they will most probably lose Durant and Russ at the end. Maybe Waiters too. Enes is not getting the ball on O like he loves in post ups and the team will be left to his post game, face up midrange etc. when the superhumans of the team leave and they are not once again a playoff team.

Enes' D is a lot better compared to before in the means of effort. We can say that it's his rookie year level with more awareness on help D and lateral movement. But don't get your hopes too high. I'm comparing Enes to Enes. Leaguewide, he is still pretty bad.

We got more in return for trading Kevin Murphy than we did in the Kanter trade. Make of that what you will.

Yeah it was a little too in a hurry. Jazz tried to play we are keeping Enes game but Enes did not allow it by saying crap so I don't blame the FO. Especially not QS as he played his role well even though he was a rookie coach.
 
As the philosopher known as that blondie princess in Frozen says : "let it goooooooo, let it gooooooo...".

Move on guys, Kanter is gone, no need to keep posting.
 
I'm not discussing his trade, that for some reasons was inevitable. But he is playing well enough with OKC.

Interesting article about his beginning of the season.

He's averaging 12.4 points and 8.9 rebounds and doing it in only 21.4 minutes per game.

“He's a force down there,” Durant said. “You can say what you want about him, but you can book him for (those numbers).”

“Enes has been great for us,” Durant said.

No, he's not doing fine at all for a max contract player. He's playing like 17 mpg recently and he's mostly on the bench because his defense is still terrible. He never plays money time either. So hardly a success for OKC.

Hardly a success for him either : he left for more playing time and now he's getting a lot less time than before.

But as some others said, let's move on now. Jazz are doing mighty fine since he left anyway.

Yes he has not a starring role and he is highly overpaid. But he is averaging good numbers for the limited minutes he is getting.

Jazz had to trade Kanter but they probably made a mistake with the timing of the trade. Let's hope Jazz management will trade players at the perfect time in future to get a fair return.

Anyway I agree, let's move on.

My question is how long does it take before he get unhappy in OKC? His minutes are less than they were in Utah as is his production. He forced the hand in Utah because he wanted more minutes. Be interesting to see where this goes.

LOL. Maybe Durant never can win champions with thoughts crazy like this.

Sometimes when a player says he wants more minutes, what he really means is he just wants out of town. I think that came to light at the trade deadline last year.

Kanter obviously didn't believe in what DL/QS are trying to do.
