And literally right after I type that no other front office would offer Kanter a max contract, Portland does. Which is absolutely astounding to me. Lowe thinks OKC will match and then trade Novak, Augustin, PJIII for peanuts.
Hopefully we'll take those three back for additional draft picks.
I'm just glad the Jazz aren't the ones trying to decide whether to match a max offer for a bratty, one way player.

OKC restricted free agent Enes Kanter signing a four-year, $70M maximum contract offer sheet with Blazers, league sources tell Yahoo.

Kanter offer sheet is expected to include a trade kicker too, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
Trailblazers could effectively be getting younger thru Free Agency and Trades.. lol. Ya can't hate on this move by them, It falls in line with what they've been doing.
Yes I can hate on them for this. Long time division rivals, they tired to steal Milsap, they did steal Mathews. And now they are ruining my plan to destroy the OKC Thunder. Plus, I think I have FO envy because this will be like their fifth or sixth quick rebuild since Drexler and they are almost always successful. So, BOOO on the Potland JailBlazers, BOOOOOOO!
