Jazz Players Defend Kanter and Say He was NOT a Cancer

He had no friends on the Jazz. They asked him who he is closest to on the team and he said Jeremy Evans. Locke said he had never seen the two talk on all the flights he had been on with the Jazz. Everyone on the team knew he was just out for his stats and he could careless about the team.

So he did care about the team? Or he wasn't very protective of the team?

That's actually pretty sad. Prior to all of this I had no idea he was so lonely on the team. He seemed like a happy and outgoing guy.

This would make sense was that he went and hugged Jeremy after he went on his tirade about wanting out just before the all star break.

he is like that immigrant kid in your high school, seems like a nice kid but always say the wrong thing being culturally different and broken English, his "friends" laugh with or at him, but has no real friends. kinda sad actually
 
What speaks volumes to me is how the team played in the first game after the trade (and almost every game since). It was against the Blazers. I took my son. The team played with more energy and seemed to enjoy playing together more than I've seen in (what seems like) ages. This was about more than a guy that just struggled against the pick-and-roll.
 
Of course they did. Burks, Favors and Hayward all know what its like to have **** veterans play ahead of you. How would you feel watching Al Jefferson chuck balls when you knew you could help the team win? Just look at this season. I guarantee Favors had that conversation with Kanter a thousand times BEFORE the trade and dozens after.

Its too bad the Millers forced the players to do politically correct responses to the media. How bad would Millers look if they allowed players freedom of speech to praise Kanter as a teammate and a person?

I don't believe it was all rosy in the locker room before Kanter trade. We saw Hayward and Burke (oh irony) barking on Kanter every so often on the court bringing Kanter's mood down. Then that Hayward's blog post with a disguised shot at Kanter right after the trade when everyone was still happy with each other on public. Unlikely, he was locker room cancer but "it was all great" is unlikely given how Enes took a swing at some teammates.


Insulted city and fans as in not missing them?

Well he couldn't go straight cursing profanity at the ones he talked about, right? This is the most he can do in a controllable mind. And this is the worst part. He most probably planned saying those things. If you only read on paper the things he said, you can go, "Oh for the love of God! Grow a thicker skin!" But when you watch him say those sentences, you know that he says "**** you!" to the ones he mention.
