Because we've seen enough to demonstrate he doesn't play well with Favors. Plus, this is the pristine time to parlay him into a quality player that will push us into the playoffs. The 4-5 playoff games will really help our team grow over the long-haul.
I agree with Kanter not being a good fit with Favors. I agree that Kanter is not in great shape due to his injury. I agree that Kanter has regressed this year. I agree that the Jazz need to look into trading him not because he sucks (which he doesn't) but because he has value and the Jazz have needs in other positions. I do not agree to trade him simply to trade him. The part about making the playoffs and bringing back AJ is ridiculous. You only trade Kanter if he can improve your team and you think that he doesn't fit with the current team.
Yes there are times where you have to trade away talent to get talent so for all you anti-trade Kanter people you need to realize this. People also have to realize that it is better to trade away talent and get something back to help the team instead of letting it walk out the door for nothing. Do I want to trade Kanter? It depends on the deal and if Kanter isn't really a fit. I certainly don't want to lose him for nothing or not play him and see his stock sink to nothing.
