Who or what could we trade Kanter for that would improve the team? Draft picks? We have a lot of them already. With the emergence of Gobert, we just need Kanter to be a very good bench big, which is completely doable.

Does Favors have the range to play PF with Gobert at C?

Still think the best option is to have Derrick start and Gobert come off the bench. If Rudy plays 25 mins, that means Derrick only needs to play about 7 at PF to get his 30. As for PF, I'm loving me some Booker right now.

But yeah, who can we trade Kanter for? Maybe with him being on a rookie contract a contender would be able to afford him for expirings and their late 1st. Lindsey has done pretty well drafting in the 20's the last two years.

If they aren't planning on matching anything over, say 8 mill a year, it makes sense to trade him. Some team needing a big will take a gamble for that.
I think the Jazz would look for a vet on a good 3 year contract to help soften the pain of the upcoming new TV deal.

I just don't see who we could logically trade Kanter as an expiring for this year that would crack the two deep. I'd almost rather just trade him for cap by letting him go than tying us down to a mediocre vet on a contract.

Maybe Al Horford? If Atlanta doesn't want him after his injury?

Perkins + the 2017 1st rounder unprotected for Kanter. It would obviously be a huge gamble, but if Durant leaves in 2016, it could be a very nice pick up for us if we decide that Kanter is not part of our future.
 
Kanter has not shown me he can play the stretch 4 at all. I mean I am still ok with a small deal and have him come off the bench, but he would not sign on for that. I am sure someone else will take a chance on him and pay him. I though we should have tried to move him last year, probably to late to get a decent return now.

Snyder is gonna make an amazing crazy-looking-mad-scientist-genius old man in 20 years.

I'm thinking a cross between Anthony Perkins and Jack Nicholson. He could definitely star in a remake of "Psycho" or make a convincing patient in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest."
