Now it just sounds like your arguing just to argue. Last year he wasn't ready and he knew it. He didn't look ready to start the year, but has since come into his own. There has been no hint that he is put off by how he's being treated. He's not dumb, he realizes he's at the bottom of the pecking order, but it is widely expected that Al who has mentored Kanter and helped him get better will be gone nect year, and if Millsap is resigned he will likely be on the bench. I believe Kanter will at the very least get 25 minutes per game, and by the time he resigns with the jazz he will be getting 35 minutes a game.

To me it sounds like your grasping at straws because your butt hurt that he doesn't get more minutes. I feel ya though, as I also wish Corbin would play him more, but there's nothing I can do about it but wait till Al is gone.

He looked ready *** hell to start 82 games at 33 minutes per game.
he worked his butt off in the ofseason.

I wasn't talking about preseason. Anyone can look good in preseason playing against scrubs, and playing in games that dont count make players look better then they really are. Yes, he worked his butt off, but he didn't look good at all the first few weeks of the year, and only in the last few weeks has he started to take off.
 
Kanter still has one more season before he's eligible for an extension, and two more before he'll be a free agent (if he doesn't sign an extension). It's far too early for Enes or his agent to be disgruntled, as two big years is more than enough to score in free agency.

If anything, Favors should be a bit upset with the minutes he's received this season, as he's eligible for an extension this summer.

Agree but next year I'm almost sertain, even if Millsap is resigned that Favors will be the starter at C unless Kanter improves and forces Ty to start Kanter over Favors. As far as this year goes he is seeing more crunch time minutes in games.

Really im just asking a question.... Would you rather have a happy kanter who wants to be here come contract negotiation time? Or and unhappy kanter?...... Or do you assume that since he is restricted, it doesn't matter if he wants to be here or not cause we can just "force" him to stay by matching any offers?
(assuming that the hypothetical situation of kanter being pissed about his playing time is true of course.)
 
You obviously want a happy Kanter. If he gets 26+ minutes per game next season, I see no reason why he'd care that he was brought along slowly in his first 2 years.

I hope he gets those minutes, but have seen nothing to think that he will.

Also i hope that these first couple years dont bother him much (and i honestly think he is pretty happy about things) but i certainly would not risk it if i were the jazz..... especially since there is a decent chance that the jazz would be better with kanter playing those 26 minutes per game RIGHT NOW and Al playing much less.

Of course I want Kanter to be happy. Simply, I see his minutes going up next year, and another increase the following year after, so I'm not worried about him not wanting to be here.

Really? What makes you think he won't get the minutes next year?? Do you think they will resign Al? Even if they resign Millsap the jazz would probably sign a big to be nothing more then an emergency big off the bench.

I have no idea what the jazz will do, but after the raja bell, josh howard, randy foye fiascoes.... im a little paranoid that the jazz will sign chris kaman, elton brand, samuel dalembert or somebody like that and keep kanter down for even longer.
