Saturday Thunder VS Bobcats 7 PM ET ---- Enes Kanter Night

200+ game thread of Kanter on another team. It's like you keep the track of your raised child even though he rejected you. It'll be over in a few days.

Going from Kendrick Perkins to Enes Kanter is like going from a submarine with screen doors to a fully functional battleship. #okcthunder

That´s one thing Enes always wanted for years... National Attention...
 
Despite the blind hate spewed at Kanter for requesting a trade he very good and getting better. Nobody will ever convince me this was a good trade or that we got fair value. It was pennies on the dollar. We should have got more.

But Kanter is gone and I fully support the Jazz going forward. The Portland game was fun to watch.

I already wrote it a couple of days ago...I suspect that Kanter's hate his related to his religion and not only to basketball.

This trade will be very hard to digest.

I hope you are not trying to put gas on the fire just to wrangle.

Anyway I never thought it.

If I was trying to put gas on the fire "just to wrangle", I'd make a post more like this:

No my friend, no one hates him because of his religion. We really have great guys on this site. They had high expectations and just got little value. But, they should not blame Enes for demanding a trade, dude just wants to make business. He always was on a difficult situation and was handled horribly his first 3 years.

The Jazz tried to play hardball but after Kanters comments they lost most of their leverage. I think the blowing a kiss thing blew it up a bit more. Was it a good trade? No. Did DL have a choice? Not really. The other 2 options were match a big contract for a guy that could become a locker room problem or let him walk for nothing.
 
Trading out Kanter is more about the opportunity cost of keeping Kanter on a big contract than anything else. Kanter is a good player, but Kanter at $12M+/year isn't a good deal for the Jazz. The big question is what happens with the roster and cap space this deal gives the Jazz.

Having said that, Kanter isn't going to get as many touches with the Thunder when he's surrounded by Westbrook, Durant, Ibaka and this Waiters characters who chucks.

Kanter got 9 shots with both Durant and Adams out of the line-up. He might have nights where he gets 5 shots or fewer.

If he plays a lot with Westbrook, though, he's going to get a lot of dumpoffs under the basket and chances for offensive rebounds off Westbrook misses. Dude is relentless attacking the rim.
