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

[Stifle Tower]

I'll go on record as saying that I did not want a trade for Kanter until the very end when he made his comment. I had, and continue to have, high hope for Kanter and his overall game.

But I am glad he is gone as its best for the Jazz. It's also nice that, so far, it seems to be working for him as well.

Same for me. I was hoping for a Favors/Kanter/Gobert rotation for the next 10 years. However, after Rudy exploded, I knew trouble was brewing, We had three guys wanting to start and no one was willing to be our Manu Ginobili. Like Lindsey said, Favors establishing himself as a PF and Gobert's rapid development really forced things along. I though the BEST we could have hoped for this season out of Rudy was 15 mins/per for all 82 games after having a lot of DNP's last year.

Do any Turks here support the Gulen movement? Personally I view Fethullah Gülen as a role model. He emphasizes interfaith dialogue, science, math, engineering, academia etc. He opens these charter schools that run purely on tax payer money that public schools run on and are able to give some of the highest ranked charter schools on the globe without using any additional finances. He does this on many continents and has many across the USA. He only opened his charter schools in USA in 2000 and already has 42 of them and most of them rank highest in the world. Many of them are in the top 50. He also opens in poorer places such as Malaysia, Africa etc.

I work in education and have a really positive view of the charter schools as well. Don't know much about the Gulen movement, but it's clearly a hot topic in Turkey - strong supporters and strong critics.

Side note: not all charter schools are great (it isn't a panacea for education in this country), but nearly every transformational school (schools that take students who are living in deep poverty and putting them on a path of achievement that mirrors high income students) are all charters.*

*Primarily, because they aren't tied down by the teacher unions that almost always advocate for the interests of adults over the interests of kids.

This trade might look good now for OKC, but when they have to pay Kanter $15m and go into luxury tax it'll really bite them in the *** let me tell you.


Meanwhile we can go out and get a nice & juicy FA plus we'll get their pick in 2018 as well.

 

[Getting Traded]

Yep. And those who were offended because he blew off the National Team.
Kanter had a nice night. Pretty much what he contributed for Utah: a double-double and good offensive rebounding. It's just not worth $15M for what he brings.

Who ever said we or anyone else is going to pay him $15 million?

Wow really?


There is something about Kanter that never sat right with me. He just doesn't strike me as a smart/gritty player that's part of a Championship team.

That nica diamond lookin awfully cubic zirconium right now.

Long story my friend. What you told appears to be just the package of the chips.

Not many favor them and they have been fighting with the government for a while now.

Kanter played 11 minutes the first half and Hornets scored 60 points. Enes played 23 minutes the second half and Hornets scored 43... I was hoping for AL beating the **** out of this traitor and was really optimistic after the first half. In the second half Kanter shut down the best offensive player in this league...

I felt like watching a Star Wars Movie last night... It was like Yoda vs Count or Anakin backstabbing Master Windu after he beat the emperor...

Nice of you to pop in and throw plus minus around when it suits whatever agenda you have left. You have bashed plus minus relentlessly when it worked against Kanter. Time for you and diamond, two of the worst "Jazz fans" on this board,to move to the OKC boards.

When did I bash +/- relentlessly? It's a stat that has a lot of variables to it that people often overlook, but it isn't worthless. Anyways, I don't have any agendas, and I was born a Jazz fan in 1985, and plan to stay one until I die.

I am still a Kanter fan, just like I'm still a Wes Mathews, Millsap, Korver, Demarre, D-Will, even Al Jefferson fan, etc. I don't think I am unique in that regard.

Kanter was +36 +/- tonight, and went for 20 pts, 12 rebs, 3 ast, and a stl. He would've played longer, but the chemistry with Westbrook, Kanter, Ibaka, and the rest of them was geling so much that they were embarassing the nugs, so all three of the aforementioned caught rest halfway through the third. Kind of awesome to see Enes with a good PG. So far, his defense hasn't been an issue, and he's been making good passes. 5 ast in past two games. Kind of makes you wonder how much of his deficiencies were blown out of proportion because of surrounding cast. OKC actually plays perimeter defense.
