Kanter said what?!?!?!

Kanter has a legit gripe

Corbin completely misused and underused him. Corbin was either unwilling or unable to develop him. Snyder on the other hand... But by that time Gobert was ready to rock and roll. It's too bad we couldn't have fired Corbin and hired Snyder 3 years ago. Kanter under 3 years of Snyder would have been a beast.

Hilarious! You guys are being so hypocritical! Totally unfair! And im not even a Kanter homer!

If he had come out and said these exact feelings at the end of last year I guarantee you that 99 percent of this board would've agreed with Kanter.

The only difference?

1. Snyder is the coach now and we all agree he is much more willing and capable to develop young players than Corbin.
2. Rudy has blossomed.
3. Kanter is on the OKC Thunder.

However, none of those 3 reasons listed above changes the fact that for 2+ seasons Kanter (and the rest of our team) was mismanaged. Hell, it wasn't that long ago when the likes of Marvin Williams, Richard Jefferson, Josh ****ing Howard, we're playing ahead of Burks, Hayward, and Kanter.

If Hayward had been traded a year or so ago I'm SURE he would have spouted off about this franchise. Who the hell other than Corbin thought that Josh Howard should start over him?

Would you guys have been criticizing Hayward had he spouted off about being benched in favor of Josh Howard? So why are you criticizing Kanter?
 
Legit gripe or not, if he realy meant he did't bing it every night, and saying he only misses the mountains... What **** him. What about us who supported him on some Jacob vs Edward ****?
 
Kanter might have a problem with Corbin but he didn't stop there. He threw the entire organization under the bus. FO, coaches, players and fans. That's ********. Legit gripe my ***.

Not to mention he flat out admitted that he didn't play the best he could.

I'm not a fan of booing former players but Id boo Kanter and wear the Kanter jersey and have it all graffitied and defaced.

To bad this tool lucked out to get on a good te. Should have sent him to Brooklyn.

Plus the only some friends comment. I think his team mates got tired of his crappy D and called him on it. Probably Gobert. Hope Gobert breaks him tonight with his inability to jump.
 
Lol last post. If I had been a player and all I had ever known was the Jazz over the past 3 years I would have hated it too. Like it or not the jazz have been one of the worst franchises since the breakup of Boozer, Okur, duron, and Jslo. It has been a nightmare.

As a fan it's been a nightmare. This past month or so has been a slight break in what has otherwise been a dark night.

Read his quote again. He admitted that he didn't bring it all the time. It isn't his effort but frustration. Read the quote in context and it makes sense.

Of course he would've been pissed at the FO. who the hell allowed Corbin to play Marvin Williams ahead of him? Guys, I really think you need to think your posts through before writing anymore. Kanter expressed what this board was expressing 5 months ago.

Kanter is expressing EXACTLY what Jazzfanz has been saying for 3 years.

This is all true, but the wound is fresh righ now and I'm ****ing pissed.
 
Seriously guys, I'm just glad he's gone. I don't care about his reasons, I don't care if he's right or wrong, I don't care if he fails or succeeds. I never liked his game nor his attitude, and I stated that I'd be happy to let him go for nothing as I consider it addition by subtraction. Now once Trey follows suit, there won't be any remaining Jazz players whom I don't like. But, hey, there's always hope Exum will be that guy.
 
Seattle/OKC wasn't the team or franchise they were when KD and Westbrook were on their rookie contracts either and all they knew was losing and while the example is exactly the same it is similar and guess what those players still managed to tough it out and they were tough enough to change things themselves instead of looking for others to blame and/or change things for him.

See with me, I loved his game, obviously, but it feels like **** to have been right about his offensive potential under the circumstance.

I don't know if he is thinking beyond his own ill feelings, but he's saying is reinforcing a negative image on our organization as a free agent destination. We lost out on talent, and thn talent is out there bad mouthing us. **** that.
 
What a sorry ****. You're getting paid millions and not bringing it every night? What a sorry dude, I actually liked him too, but not anymore. Thank you OKC for the first-round pick and Pleiss. Glad we got something for him instead of him just walking.

Utah is one of the most beautiful and clean states in the country.

Gobert destroy this sorry *** tonight.

I agree with all of The Thriller's posts in this thread. It's exactly how I felt reading the posts prior to reading his.

I felt just like Kanter having to endure those years with Corbin. We got Booker because we didn't realize Rudy was going to break out like he has, and yes, a 3-some of Rudy, Favors, and Kanter with a positive attitude would've been awesome.

But it's water over the damn, and we better watch out tonight with Favors likely not going to play.

Yep.

But can you blame talent for speaking negatively over their experience here?

Is there another franchise in this country that would've played Josh Howard, Richard Jefferson, and Marvin Williams ahead of Hayward, Burks, and Kanter?

Let's face it, the Jazz for 3 years couldn't make up their mind what they wanted to do. Maintain mediocrity? Or finally rebuild? And once they decided to rebuild, they stuck with an incompetent coach for 1 year too long who wasted an entire year rather than develop young talent. Of course, I don't blame Corbin. Why should he have wanted to develop Kanter knowing that he wouldn't be his coach next year?

Totally mismanaged.

Was it cool for Kanter to spout off? No.

But is he wrong about anything he said? Hell no

Everything he said was what this entire board has been saying for 3+Years
