I bet Kanter is Happy

I don't know you well enough to gauge how serious the bolded part is.

Just look their entire roster then you will see how serious I'm....

Enes is my friend. Cool dude. Wish him well.

Now how do we capitalize?

Gee, where is countonbuckets when he's needed?

Maybe, but until then, he's getting an opportunity. And you know that OKC is going to make the playoffs, especially with how Phoenix has torn down their team a bit. You can't rule out OKC with Durant and Westbrook healthy. They will be in the mix. And whether Enes starts or not, he's going to get minutes. So, this is his opportunity to show what he's made of, to back up his bark.

What makes you think he's going to get minutes? The pf/c position for the Thunder is more log jammed than the one he just left in Utah. He'll get minutes till Adams comes back. But when he comes back his minutes are going to be less than they were in Utah. Not only that but his touches in the offense are going to go down during the time he is on the floor. I think the Jazz shipped him to the worst possible destination for a guy that wants minutes.

Who gets more minutes Ibaka or Kanter? Ibaka.
.
Adams or Kanter? probably Adams.
.
Collison or Kanter? Close call. Ones a hustle player,veteran and a true stretch 4 to open the floor for their driving players. The other is a young player who does not know the offense does not hustle does not pass or play defense and needs the ball in his hands to make post up plays. Kanter is more talented than Collison but is he really a better fit for the role they use Collison in?

More minutes than with the Jazz? More shots than with the Jazz?

Not a chance in hell. Jazz might as well have sent Kanter to OKC with a big pile a turd in a bag. He's in a worse situation for his desires. His problems with the Jazz were all about himself. Winning was never the problem, getting his was his problem. And it will be more difficult for him to do that in OKC than it was in Utah.

Hell Utah was still starting him over a superior player just to appease him. That is not happening in OKC.
