Max? No but I'd throw 5 years, 70M at him--if we even have the space to do it. My concern would be is he a product of Thibs and Noah? My other concern would be how it affects our ability to get better up front since it seems evident Kanter is not going to be a starter on a team that makes a deep playoff run. Basically, that would be a ton of money tied up at sg and sf, in him, Burks and Hayward.

To piggyback off of this (from dal's post earlier), if we signed Butler to 5 years, 70M, we'd have what, him, Hayward, Burks and Favors at about 50M next year? Add in Burke and Exum and that virtually assures us of the fact that we do not re-sign Kanter...which I'm fine with fwiw...but it also means we probably won't have the space to sign any big to put alongside Favors for the next five years.

Kanter has the 3rd best PER on the team right now, only behind Favors and Hayward. He's also posting 20 pts and 10 rebs per 36 right now. Get a grip. Everything isn't Kanter's fault again.

Kanter is really frustrating me though. I look at Zach Randolph and he is not a special or even average defender but he gets in the way and he rebounds. If Kanter could do that then I think that would really change things for this team.

The lack of rebounding from the bigs is really concerning. It is the biggest reason for the bad defense IMO. The team is giving up way too many offensive rebounds to the other team.

Let's take the game last night. Between turnovers and 2nd chance attempts the Pelicans took 22 more shots than the Jazz. The Jazz lost by 12 points. You do the math. Rebounding is THE biggest issue that needs to be corrected.

Kanter played 18 mins last night, and is only getting 23 mins per game this season. The rebounding issue doesn't lie with him. He is grabbing 11.6% offensive rebounds and 19.7% on defensive rebounding. That 11.6% is actually an elite percentage. For instance, Joakim Noah is considered one of the best at it, yet he is only grabbing 10.7% of offensive rebounds this year.

So who are the real rebounding culprits on our team?

Trevor Booker plays 20 mins a contest, but only grabs 7.4% of offensive boards and 15.1% of defensive boards. He played 24 mins last night. Also, Trevor's TOV% is 16.2 compared to Kanter's 15%.. The real TO culprit is Rudy, though, at 20.2%!

Steve Novak ocassionaly sees minutes that eats into Kanter's time, but he grabs 0% of the offensive boards. That is not a typo.

The Trevor Booker thing was fun for a minute, but Kanter is the better player, and therefore should be seeing more of the time, instead of having it split equally.

Yep, the Booker shine has completely wore off for me. His defense is not great and his offense looks sketchy at times. Doesn't deserve 20 mpg IMO.
