DL is also excellent at grabbing waiver/D-league players who become rotation players. Not all stick of course, but Ingles was waived by the Clippers & Millsap was of course in the D-league. Johnson & Williams didn't stick but they both put up good numbers while they were here for the amount of time they had actually played.

Okay, first, in reaction to this thread, WOW!!!! I am so freakin' excited now. Secondly, this. IMO, this is as wide open a race as there's ever been for an NBA title so many of the top teams may want a guy like Enes to try to put them over the top.
I'm hoping it's the Wiz as they're the worst of potential contenders (prob not even a real one) and have been sputtering and could use a shot in the arm. Porter and an unprotected 2015 or 2016 1st for Kanter.
Not a chance.
He'll get a bigger offer than what the Jazz were offering, but not a max offer imo.
If there really is serious interest in Kanter, I think DL takes the plunge and trades him. I just don't see how anyone can really think that Kanter is going to fit in here: he will never be anything but bad on defense and bad passing. And now that he has also shown he is bigheaded problem child, get him out of here. I also don't think you can afford 3 high end bigs, you have to go with two and then fill in with guys like Booker and EVans who are always out there. What we really need is a 3 and D wing.
Just make the move now when you have a pretty darn good idea it will not work long term anyway. Sure, holding him a while longer could get you more value, but maybe not too.

Why would he get a max contract?
Because he's big and strong.

but is he down to get the friction on?
I said big, not long..

Because he's a 22 year old big man who is already capable of putting up 20/10. I think some of you are making the mistake of assuming that NBA GM's are going to value Kanter the same way we value him. Look at the situation with Hayward last year. Here's a guy who put up a 16.2 PER shooting 41% from the field and playing a position with a surplus of talent in the NBA, and he got the max.
When free agency comes, at some point, there will be a team with lots of money left and all the big names off the board who is going to look at Kanter, see the production he has on points/boards and look past the poor defense and passing. The same general situation happens every year and every year fans act shocked at the money being thrown at these guys. No reason to think things will be any different this time around.
