Jazz Holding onto Kanter

Cy said:
Just re-read SF post. My god. So bad.

Can't believe he is suggesting Kanter/Gobert or Kanter/Favors is better than Favors/Gobert.

Or that he is suggesting that Kanter's offensive rebounding than the rim protection of Gobert.

Or that he thinks Kanter;s post game makes a defense "honest" when they can just freely double team without consequences.

Or that he still thinks Kanter provides any more floor spacing than Favors when Favors has shown to be a better midrange shooter.

Or that he thinks that Kanter has a 3pt shot.

Also thinks it's bad that Gobert has been amazing since it makes Kanter look bad.

We should emphasize with Kanter because sometimes he doesn't get minutes and we should expect child like behavior.

I mean, does anything surprise you when it come to SF and his bizzare affection for Kanter? He sees things no one in the world sees.

I love Rudy, and have from the first. (If you don't believe me, you can reference a heated argument I had on here with Vermin in defense of why I thought he'd be great), but I don't think all of the attention he has garnered has been good for our team. The fans and media want to see Rudy start, and you can't bring Derrick off the bench after annointing him a team leader and giving him that contract, but the two of them together has yet to ever really work out in a tangible way. It's just a great idea to have two shot-blockers on the court together, but what it does to our offense, and all of our other players makes it not worth it.

Also, signing Booker was a bad move by DL. He shipped out Al and Paul because of a log jam, so he could create another one? I know the team needed to get tough, but was it really that Enes and Rudy didn't already have mean streaks, or was it that RJ, Jeremy, and Marvin didn't exactly strike fear in the hearts of their opponents, yet they were receiving front-court minutes?



Also, I think keeping Enes is the right thing to do. We all know the value is too low because of the contract, but some of you are suggesting we trade him because he'll take the QO. I think that is premature. We don't know what the future will bring, and we can't operate out of fear. Having back-to back contract years is hard on players, and if Enes' role is solidified, he may not be thinking a QO is a good idea.

I get the impression that Enes wants to be appreciated, that is all. He's been consistantly punished for the things he doesn't do as well as some of the others, when he does some unique things for our team as well. An offensive rebound is better than a blocked shot, because it extends our posessions, and we score off of them more frequently than from fast breaks caused by blocks. I know that Rudy is also a great offensive rebounder, so that is not a stab at him. Shooting three's and having a player with a legitimate post game really keeps defenses more honest as well. Etc.

are you fn kidding me? Link this exchange or stfu. I have only debated Kanter with you and have never been down on Gobert.
 
Too bad Kanter's gotta be all egotistical. I think Enes had been playing pretty well by his standards lately. Jazz currently have a very good big man rotation with Favors, Gobert, Kanter, and Booker. I guess he can spend his NBA career playing for perennial losers if he can't ever accept the fact that some players are actually better than he is.

Can't wait until he gets his twenty and ten against the Jazz - with the Jazz scoring 130 points and winning by thirty, of course.

I skipped to 2nd season in 2K and Kanter was traded to Hawks to be benched behind another Al (Horford). I lol'd. But he got decent minutes. And my God did he play some defense. He looked like he never went down from defending players like Bynum with his bulky body and actually built on that with much better laterial quickness.

To me, if a player publicly asks for a trade, your job is to keep the chemistry away from harm's way and get rid of the complaining part. It's a pity that Enes usually made it to news with his dramatic scenarios more than his monster games. I hope he gets traded and gets his **** back together.
