I dont get it. If he's such a good passer why does he only have 40 assists this season? Hes about 2 per game compared to Kanter putting up 1.6.

Kanter is even a better defender than this guy and much better scorer. Tonic better be willing to come off the bench for 2 million, 3 million max. Id rather bring over the other guy or just resign Enes.

Kanter is not averaging 1.6 assists per game this season. He is averaging that for 7 games in okc but that number is quickly going back down to what he has averaged his whole career which is 0.6.


Kanter is not a better defender at this point in his career. Tomic has greatly improved his defense and puts effort in on defense. He also doesnt get lost and confused where he is on the court and what is happening like Kanter.

As far as offense goes we will have to see. I think when Kanter is Tomic age he will be a better scorer maybe but right now Tomic is much more efficient scorer while keeping the other players involved. Plus Tomic doesnt struggle with tall players guarding him.

Tomic has had >>>>>>>>>>>> career than Enes has so far. We will see if that equates to the NBA or not but he cant be as much of a Kancer and a liablity on defense that Kanter was.

Tomic today is better than Kanter today and will be cheaper to get than Kanter and comfortable coming off the bench.

Yeah right, resign Enes at the team's chemistry's cost. Only a dumb bloke would do that.

What issues? We gave him what he wanted. To be freed up and showcase his skills and maximize market value. His agent can now bring impartial bids to us and ask if we would like to beat them. This is a win win for us and Kanter (if we get him back).

What? How does that line of thinking make any sense?

So if he comes over in 2016 instead of 2015 that is the difference from him being relevant and being irrelevant? That makes 0 logical sense.

If he doesn't come over by this off season, he'll never come over. Right now, I'd say the chances are slim. But after next year - would you rather be an AS in Spain or a 30 year old rookie in the NBA?
 
I'm not really interested in Tomic unless he can play the Small forward. Can he play the small forward? One Love?
 
Big guys should have the flexibility to play the SF, its the wave of the future. If Julius Randle can play the SF I don't see any reason why we couldn't slot Tomic there. . .
 
this offense is designed for bigs to facilitate at the elbows. Tomic needs to be here. Holy ****, our bench would instantly elevate.

To be fair, he's only playing 24 mins/game. per 36 he's at 3.15 ast/game, which would be 4th best among NBA centers per36 this season.

Um, assists in Europe <> assists in the NBA. Much harder to get an assist in Europe.

LOL!
Not sure how many bridges there are in SLC, but he burned every freeway overpass. Ty Corbin has a better chance of coming back than Enes does.
 
Did I miss some news about Tomic's future with the Jazz? Last thing I heard there was no reason for him to come overseas. It sounds like everyone in this thread is optimistic about him joining the Jazz, though.

Article about the Jazz being willing to pay a buyout. Much ado about nothing, though. It was not a new statement as we first thought.

Tomic said he has no interest in the NBA a few months ago. Doubt we will ever see him in a jazz uni

Link? The last info I have is him saying "The window for NBA has not closed. Anything is possible this coming summer." That's from several weeks ago.

Translation: I want more Euros to stay. Extend my contract and show me the money!

After learning the buyout comment was not new, I see nothing to give me more hope Tomic will be coming over. I think he'll be given a longer, richer contract to stay where he is. Beautiful negotiation strategy by Tomic and his agent.
 
If Quin really likes Tomic, I'm sure the Jazz will get him Tomic.

Tomic would be dumb not to try. He has the potential to make insane cash if he works out in the NBA and he won't hurt his European value much if he flops.
