Open question: For a player that doesn't have more league-wide market value than how much he has with his own team, and for a team that is in no rush to get immediately better, what possible reason could the Jazz want to trade Kanter "imminent"ly for?
 
And the motive would be...?


Change of plans for the future. By that I mean Corbin, FO. Not Kanter he seems to like it here. But he is an emotional teenager and if he feels unwelcome somehow, I can easily see him doing that-ask for trade.


On the other hand, Kanter was the face of the Christmas cheer Jazz Basketball visits that were made to a bunch of hospitals and some other places. (with Trey)

I don't know the politics about it but I don't think a team would send a soon to be traded fella to that kind of event.
 
Yes, trade people with the sole purpose of trading them! That's an excellent philosophy!

I would recommend dumping relatively unknown commodities for below market price because they aren't aesthetically pleasing. Furthermore, I suggest never trading players that have gained the favor of the fans and organization even when offered something well above market value. Carry on

Because Jazzfanz has a Hedonistic approach to basketball-fandom, without the slightest shred of appreciation for patience. It's most easy to disregard context, and live-and-die with every win and loss. 3 games ago, we were comparing the Jazz to the worst teams in NBA history, record-wise. This week, some are predicting that we'll make the playoffs. Last month we wanted to max Kanter-- this week we want to trade him. Last month, some of us were pissed off with the Burke pick, and wished we drafted MCW/Schroeder/whatever-- this week we are saying that he got off to a better start than DWill, and that he's a CP3 but better at scoring.

This will probably continue for the rest of the season, as well as many years to come.

That's more rhetorical than open, but...


I've been wondering similarly about fan repercussions if the FO decided i.e. Kanter is a 15 minute benchie and traded him high for an asset the fans perceive as low. If you're the FO do you sit on your thumbs?
 
Calm down people. Kanter is still really young. Give him time. He's a year younger than Favors. He only started playing basketball at age 15. He missed a whole year of basketball at age 18. He's coming off an injury.
