Newsok's Berry Tramel: "Kanter had no defensive mentor with Jazz"

[stitches]

A max contract to Kanter won't hurt too bad since the cap is rising. It wouldn't be a smart move IMO, but it wouldn't be a franchise destroyer like a Joe Johnson veteran max contract.

If they max him they will be at 91M/year salaries. The year after, the salary cap will be ~90M and they would need to pay Durant. The 35% max for him would be ~31.5M, or 10 more million than they are paying him right now. At that time they can get rid off Waiters, Lamb and Perry Jones(around 10M), unless they decide to extend some of them(I really hope they give 8 figures to Waiters). They also would need to extend Morrow(I think he will command 8 figures for sure) and DJ Augustin. In general I expect them to be at about 100-110M salaries at that point(depending on what they do with the players on rookie contracts... The real fun though begins the year after... Westbrook and Ibaka up for extensions. Westbrook will be eligible for ~35M contract(20M more than he's getting now), same as Ibaka... To me it looks very possible that every single year they will be deep into the tax if they want to keep their current core.

Who was Gobert's defensive mentor? Kanter???

I must spread the rep first.

They are scared Kanter will blow up in OKC. Everyone knows they are a world class organization with the best GM in terms of eye for talent. Look who he drafts and where. He finds a gem every draft. Trust me he saw the diamond in Kanter's rough. He knows Scotty Brooks is a top 5 head coach and maybe the best developmental coach (look at what he did to Ibaka). Kanters flaws can easily be fixed like they mentioned his footwork. He can easily master pick and roll footwork.

LOL This is just priceless!

I always liked Greg. Has anyone else negged you? I need to know who to pos rep.

Yep, he crossed the line when he blamed Kanter's problems on the Millers. ****ing troll.

 

[Thee Jazz Fan]

You negged for giving an article? What a ****head.


Mods please consider my report of Freakazod's neg trolling and harassment. You can check my logs if you require additional proof.

I negged u report that.

I would hold off on touting Scoot Brooks too much as OKC is rumored to be firing him (which I do think would be stupid) for UConn's HC Kevin Ollie.

Also yes it's all the Millers fault for his bad defense, stupid owners, ruining Favors & Gobert's defense as well. Robbing the old blind Cav's owner for Boozer who was an awesome defender before the Miller's got their hooks into him. Nothing like OKC's owner who never said he would try to keep the team in Seattle and then as soon as possible moving them to his home state of OK, Seattle fans are also just a bunch of lying whining babies.

How would you feel watching non chelant play from Favors, Burks and Marvin Williams and they get playing time over you when you bust your *** off every play and they get laxadaisical all the time? Even Hayward is guilty of taking plays off. Deron finally had to chuck the ball at his head to get him to wake up. You don't remember that?

Add in the fact that Millers actively tried to sabotage his next contract value and its no wonder he forced out. He is more than justified in taking plays off in fact he is a martyr worth honoring and idolizing.

I dont know whats worse between you Americans one track minds that see everything one sided only or your penchant to lap up everything corporate America crams down your throats. Yeah the Miller Corporation was blameless and its all Kanters fault. After all, you know this guy.

There is nothing so sad and pathetic as trolling done poorly.

This article proves Richard Jefferson lied. All Kanter talks about is defense defense defense. It's not his fault Millers screwed with him emotionally and on the court. Why did they ever bring Richard in to play over him? He cant mentor Kanter you twit. He's like 6'6, Kanters a giant. When are you going to get it threw your thick skull? The Millers abused Kanter and purposefully used him wrong. You need more evidence still? SMDH.

Makes sense. The Millers have so much money that they thought, "Let's use some of our extra cash to screw this Turkish guy over for no reason at all."
