This one is for you retards out there who have nothing better to do than nag about Kanter in every ****ing post.
Going into this off season we will not have any cap space. We could get up to 12,5 million by renouncing Kanter, Booker, Evans, Clarke and Ingles. This would be a really stupid thing to do as both Kanter and Booker could provide us with assets if trades, however small ones. If we traded them for draft picks or players before the deadline, these players and draft picks would count against the cap. Also, to stay in the FA hunt we would have to renounce them quickly and that means making them both free agents before we have the chance to explore what we could get for them. These are all silly moves that no sane FO would make. Enes will be given to QO and Booker will not be waived.
Now, let`s say we extend Enes for 4/48 with the money spread out evenly out front. Yeah, I know that a lot of you are pulling your hair when reading this, but there really is no need. Even with that contract, we would have over 21 million in cap space in the summer of 2016. 21 million - and that includes the salary for a projected 6 pick this year and a 3 year/5 million extension for Ingles.
In the summer of 2017, we could give Gobert the five year max and still have almost 10 million in cap space, even with Enes`s contract. At this time, Kanter would have 2 years/24 million remaining on his contract. Under the current CBO, that would be equivalent to 2 years/16 million. Kanter would be 25 years old and very tradeable. If he does nothing more than keep up his current level, contenders would give us a pick for him. If he turns out to be Biedrins, we could still ship him out by adding some small assets.
In 2018 - still including Enes` contract - we could have Gobert on the 5 year max, give Exum the 4 year max, pay Favors and Hayward 20 million each, Burks his owed 10,5 million and still not be paying the luxury tax. Kanter would 1 have year/7,5 million under the current CBA remaining on his contract and would be very easy to move if that was what we wanted.
Extending Enes Kanter will not ruin our future. It will not even make a real difference when it comes to being able to bid on free agents and certainly will not put us anywhere close to the luxury tax. You can argue all you want, but these are the facts. In two years time, the contracts of Kanter and Burks will be very movable if we should choose to go in another direction.
