Kanter for MKG

Snyder doesn't seem to be a huge fan of players who can't shoot. I know his defense is stellar, but I just don't see him fitting.

I don't think Charlotte would make the trade either.

I agree with the bolded.

As for the unbolded: I don't think we can trade Kanter for someone without flaws. So, I've lowered my aim to other players who are having a hard time fitting where they are. MKG is at the top of that list. Just throwing it out there.

How about dmc the junkyard dog?
 
I'd love to get Olynyk... think he'd be the perfect compliment to our frontcourt guys.
 
more on Olynyk:

Boston and New York want to make a deal for Rondo. We could help facilitate that trade in some way, and walk away with a Kanter for Olynyk swap.

I'm in... he works hard and check out his post all-star numbers last season. 12 pts 6 reb. in 22 minutes shooting 51% from the field and 43% from 3. Most of his 3s are above the break as well which is more valuable.

No question Olynyk would fit in well. I think that would be a good trade deadline deal IF Kanter doesn't show that he can shoot the long ball and improvement in his passing under Snyder. Olynyk is a year older (I think), I wouldn't pull the trigger on that trade just yet.

I agree that the trade could be worked in with a Rondo deal pretty easily.

We'd likely have to take Gerald Wallace's contract, which they would be looking to move in a Rondo deal. I am 85% certain Kanter can't shoot the three effectively... he has moved the ball better though which was my biggest pet peeve with him last year. Kanter's shooting numbers show him to be pretty mediocre... I am not sure why many believe he is a good shooter who can extend his range. I'd love to see it though.
 
I think the Celtics might even be able to convince themselves that Kanter is a good fit for them. They'll have a hard time competing physically with Olynyk and Sullinger. While Kanter isn't a rim protector either, he at least adds a lot more strength and space-eating. Sullinger can step outside, so that's not an issue. And, with Bradley, Smart, and Green on the perimeter, Kanter's defensive inabilities (which aren't much worse than Olynyk's, right?) will be reasonably covered.

Put Kanter down there and follow what Charlotte did with Jefferson.

Probably true about Wallace, in which case I don't think it would be worth it. Especially if we are a decent team.

Kanter shoots from 16ft to 3pt line at about 37%. The hope is that he can just take a step back behind the arc and keep that percentage.
