Trade Idea!

Kanter is not really a stretch 4 or an above the rim defender.

Don't tell Vivek that... He's a white euro big... Tell him he's pretty much Dirk
 
I'd take a chance on him. He's not a creator and he's on a team that doesn't move the ball well. I realize we don't get a lot of assists, but we do share the ball... Kings not so much.
 
Ben McLemore was brutal last year too and he's picked it up.

Never trade a big for a small. Especially a bad one.

This is an old NBA rule that probably doesn't apply now.

Would you trade Kanter for Steph Curry? The league is run by perimeter players now.

With that said kanter is a productive big guy and Nik might be Jimmer 2.0. His stats are terrible and the few times I've watched him he looks like he doesn't belong. I wouldn't write the guy off yet.
 
Tell Vivek that this one time Kanter hit 93 out of 100 3p shots, and tell him that he's hitting about 10% higher from 3 than Stauskas in the very first year he's been trying to hit them, and then remind him that there in Sacramento they "really like shooting"... hm... when I think about it... Trey likes shooting, too... Hm... decisions, decision...
 
The only thing here is do we think Hood will be better than Stauskus? Or would it be better to get all the shooters that we can? I think I would put Hood and Stauskus at about the same level. I still don't know how Hood fell so far.
 
I'd bet Sacramento would take that deal. I can't see them getting a better big than Kanter for Stauskas. If we felt we needed to do this I would want at least a second rounder from the Kings.

You compared Kanter to Steph Curry, that's a little unfair in your example. I think the saying is supposed to mean "If you have 2 players with similar production, never go for the little guy". With what you said, someone could easily say, "well, you could trade Jeff Malone for Patrick Ewing and get better with going big."
 
I'm thinking, yes we should make that trade. We should be able to get a little more out of them too.


Gobert is our guy folks. Do you really think it's gonna be a good idea to pay a back up big a bunch of money? Is Kanter gonna be ok with a bench role?
