Fixed.
I share your thoughts though. We will see if he can grab a role in there consistently.

How about also discounting the stats in some French league...
To add to Stoked's post:
Would it have been a bad decision if Kanter was traded sooner, but actually had potential to blow up?
The added analytics in the front office is to find players from the D league, draft and other places that can fill any sort of role on this team in the future. Ingles was a good find, Millsap was as well. They are solid rotation players that underscore the value of having a solid analytics department.
Anyone arguing that Utah should have traded Kanter a month sooner is nutty. His trade value was hindered by his contract status. Kanter's potential value always depended on getting him signed to a reasonable contract. That possibility was all but eliminated by the trade request. Bad situation, but keeping a disgruntled player and continuing to start him over the REAL starter would not have been good, and probably would have ended with Enes taking the QO, which means his value would not have increased from where it is now.

Also, for those people who are mad Utah didn't make a move to improve the team immediately, I've been warning you to expect any deadline trade to be future-minded. The good news is that DL has hinted that the tank ends this year.
