Enes Kanter still unsigned

Can you imagine having to match $17.5M? Or letting him leave for nothing? Wow. Those saying he wouldn't get the MAX were straight up wrong.

Not only did we dodge the money, but he's been spinning the same **** in OKC that he did in Utah since he got there.

"I love the city.", "Money doesn't matter, I want to play here." "Starting doesn't matter."

This is guy is full of **** and either OKC or POR is going to get a heavy dose. Good riddance.

Kanter got the max... How untradeable is that contract by January when they have figured out how truly awful he is? WE GOT BETTER BY HIM SIMPLY NOT BEING HERE ON THE COURT!

In fairness, that's in large part because Gobert was his "backup". He's not truly awful... but he is one dimensional and definitely not worth a max contract.

I'm fine either way. Both teams are in our division and if Kanter is healthy it will only help our offense against whichever team he's on.
We just PnR all night every night when we play him, let him have his stats and take the W.

Actually, with Gobert and Favors guarding him there's no need to even let him have his stats.

Supposedly Hayward wanted 4/48 to sign before season and Jazz said no.

I've never seen that verified, or even posted with a credible source. 4/52 or 4/56 seems much more likely to me.

Not only did Hayward get 4/63, he can opt out after only 3 years of the deal...which is perfect timing for new NBA TV deal.

Wait till you see Haywards cash in 2 years when he can be an UFA..... DL messed that one

That's a valid point--the opt out year is likely going to hurt.

This thread is a perfect example as to why all NBA talk should be in this forum.

Threads about ex-Jazz players have always been allowed in this forum. And this thread wouldn't be nearly the same level of entertaining if it weren't an ex-Jazz player we were talking about.
 
Franklin's history of starting threads:


- "This season will Vindicate Ty" - uh... no it didn't.


- "Kanter still Unsigned" - uh... yes he is.



May be you should start a new thread "The Jazz will NEVER win a Championship".

Ha! Got em!
 
Al-Farouq Aminu might have a chance to clean up some of the defensive gaffes of Kanter after-all!

A move I was suggesting at league minimum salary last offseason and near league minimum in the summer of 2013.

LMAO Kanter absolutely does not make teams better.

OKC had a better record with Kanter than without Kanter this season. True so did Utah Jazz but before the trade the Jazz had the hardest strength of schedule and the easiest after. However still hard to argue that Kanter leaving didn't make the Jazz better.

Well for $17.5m per year, that better be the case.
 
Good timing for Kanter. He is the best big man left out there and there were still teams left with money to spend. I think we forget how young Kanter still is, but true for him to live up to the contract he needs to at least get up to an average defensive player. Dont forget Portland is now basically in rebuilding mode.
 
Actually, if my calculations are correct, if you discount the long period where they were missing both durant and westbrook, they were better before the trade.

25-15 vs 16-12

How's Julius Randle working out at the small forward position?
