OKC Kanter: 15.8/10.2/2.2 FG 57%

I don't think some of you realize what the true reason for trading him was. It was never because he sucked. We all knew he was a double double machine. But the Jazz just did not have enough money to pay for both he and Gobert. We have talked about Kanter's upcoming free agency for months now. Most of us realized that Kanter was going to be too expensive.

It wasn't because of money. The cap is going to jump significantly over the next two years. Kanter got traded because he wanted out and keeping him to increase his value would've meant continuing to start him over the guy who deserved the starting spot. Bad situation, otherwise I doubt Utah would have yielded to Kanter's wishes.

Our system is like the spurs and hawks system.
You know that right?

You also know that the jazz don't have durant and westbrook on thier roster right? Those guys play for the Oklahoma city thunder

I am well aware. However, without Duncan, the Spurs system would not have won any championships. I prefer the other teams that won who have less complicated systems.

And even without KD and Westbrook, Kanter was still able to play well. He is better able to use his talent in that system since he doesn't have to focus on so many things and can instead feel the game out. Maybe Exum will be able to do fine in our system once he can do it in his sleep, but as of now I think he would play better in a less complicated system.

Along with Kanter, I think Exum would be better in an OKC environment. He has to think way too much in this Jazz system and it's rattled him to the point that he can no longer make wide open threes. I honestly feel a lot of this is Snyder's fault. Sure he developed Exum into a good defensive player, but he's done an absolute horrible job when it comes to his development on the offensive end.

I honestly didn't understand why Exum has just to focus on his defensive game and neglect a bit his offensive game.
Both things should go hand in hand. In addition Exum is not an offensive weapon so he has to develop his offense too.

Why? Favors is better both offensively and defensively than Kanter?

Defense yes. Offense jury still out... But leaning towards no
