Kanter traded to OKC

Jazz has no offensive talent apart from Hayward for Kanter to pass too. It's a shame we mishandled him and got nothing in return, but the positive side to this is that the Jazz got forced to make a decision and picked Gobert as our man going forward and he would be getting the focus and playing time he needs to develop. Also Gobert seems to be a better fit for this team.
 
12 points, 5 boards and 3 assist and still 3 minutes to go in the first half. OKC leads 36:60 oh my god. Kanter ****ed us up..... :mad: I hope AL will kick his *** again.
 
Well I don't know. I don't think keeping Kanter would have been good for us, kinda wish we had just traded him to NYK or some other bad team so we wouldn't see all of this ******* if he does well.

This is about the 20th time you've made a post belittling the Jazz since the Kanter trade.

How about instead of trolling here you go take your worthless posts to the Thunder forums? It's obvious you're a Kanter fan and not a Jazz fan, so why are you still here?

You didn't say anything about the many more members belittling Kanter on these forums. Why didn't you tell them to go to the Thunder forums?

Yeah thats right. I just do not think that Favors and Gobert will ever be enough spacing and pace to play, what Quin tries to do long term. We need a stretch 4 like Anderson or Draymong Green. Those guys will get paid, too. With another 4 getting major minutes, it will be hard for Gobert or Favors to produce enough to get into allstar Team.

Perhaps. But I disagree on the spacing issue. Favors has a decent midrange game and is great in the P&R. What we saw against Portland is EXACTLY the type of basketball Utah CAN and SHOULD play. Will we? Nope, not this season. We had some players who normally don't shoot 3's get hot (Ingles, Millsap and Hood). Hayward actually didn't play very well. But imagine Gobert and Favors with Hayward and 2 guards who can hit 3's. Jazz are playing with 2 guards that are just place holders in the starting lineup. Exum does virtually nothing and Ingles and Millsap usually look to pass to another open player. Trey is not consistent with his 3PT shooting. What I'm driving at is IF the Jazz can improve their guards, then Favors/Gobert ABSOLUTELY works as a starting tandem.

There are two ways to go at the 4: 1) Utilize a player like Booker as the backup PF and get a center to play behind Gobert; 2) Have a 3-man rotation with Favors splitting time between F/C. The latter requires us to get a 3rd big who can play 25-30 mins/per but doesn't mind coming off the bench. The former probably costs a little less. Booker can fill the backup PF minutes. And Pleiss or another draft pick can play 10-15 mins behind Gobert, with Favors still getting some limited minutes at C.
