I don't believe he was a cancer. However, I do believe he didn't do everything he could to help the team become better. He seems a bit egotistical, almost like he had to play for himself and not the team. There are many selfish players in the NBA, and the moment they start thinking that they are more important than the team, they become an issue.
Lets be honest. Kanter could feel the heat from Gobert. He knew it was a matter of time. But instead of taking one for the team, he thought only of himself and made the comment about being traded. I really enjoyed Kanter, when he wasn't forcing. When he was having fun and playing for the team. When he stuck up for the team and what we were trying to do. But that Kanter who did those things and had fun with the team ceased to exist. Maybe the pressure of being contract year got to him. But Kanter will never be more than an average player until he starts allowing things to come to him. Stop forcing and plays for the team with not worrying about his own personal #s.
