I bet Kanter is Happy

Not sure he thought he'd end up on OKC?? From a winning point of view it looks a lot better at this point in time however he's now going to get less touches etc. Could turn out to be a case of the grass ain't greener.
 
I think when its all said and done a year or two down the line he WONT be happy he left. I dont think he understands how good he had it here. Other places might give him less minutes for his poor defense, and lack of passing. He could be sitting a lot more and not starting on a good team. He could be i for a HUGE WAKE UP CALL.

Kanter won't be able to hold the ball for ten seconds or shoot it even 15 times a game... Durant and Westbrook will have some problems with that, I'm sure.

Nah, he will. OKC let's their players ISO. It's what Waiters does when he gets in the game.

Durant/Westbrook ISO as starters, Kanter/Waiters ISO as benchies.

Kanter better be working on that jumper though. That is the key to him being a starter on that team. If he can get his jumper back on point he will be good for them on offense. Defense though OKC will quickly learn what it means to your defense to have someone who is two steps behind the game mentally and physically.
 
OKC have a super team now....Presti did a great job with the trades and they have kept almost all their best players.

They can outscore every team just with the offense.

I don't know you well enough to gauge how serious the bolded part is.

Maybe, but until then, he's getting an opportunity. And you know that OKC is going to make the playoffs, especially with how Phoenix has torn down their team a bit. You can't rule out OKC with Durant and Westbrook healthy. They will be in the mix. And whether Enes starts or not, he's going to get minutes. So, this is his opportunity to show what he's made of, to back up his bark.

What makes you think he's going to get minutes? The pf/c position for the Thunder is more log jammed than the one he just left in Utah. He'll get minutes till Adams comes back. But when he comes back his minutes are going to be less than they were in Utah. Not only that but his touches in the offense are going to go down during the time he is on the floor. I think the Jazz shipped him to the worst possible destination for a guy that wants minutes.

Who gets more minutes Ibaka or Kanter? Ibaka.
.
Adams or Kanter? probably Adams.
.
Collison or Kanter? Close call. Ones a hustle player,veteran and a true stretch 4 to open the floor for their driving players. The other is a young player who does not know the offense does not hustle does not pass or play defense and needs the ball in his hands to make post up plays. Kanter is more talented than Collison but is he really a better fit for the role they use Collison in?

More minutes than with the Jazz? More shots than with the Jazz?

Not a chance in hell. Jazz might as well have sent Kanter to OKC with a big pile a turd in a bag. He's in a worse situation for his desires. His problems with the Jazz were all about himself. Winning was never the problem, getting his was his problem. And it will be more difficult for him to do that in OKC than it was in Utah.
.
Hell Utah was still starting him over a superior player just to appease him. That is not happening in OKC.
