Not the enforcer we deserve, but the one we need
Jazzfans is as slow minded as Kanter when he tries to rotate on defense....Especially while they still have Gobert on his rookie contract, I think that trading any of these three would be a mistake. They're all very young and still developing, relatively inexpensive for big men and are proving that they can play together. The future for Favors, Kanter and Gobert is bright. I think that Gobert is the key to everyone's improvement. I get the impression that he won't let anybody rest on their laurels.
Two weeks ago it has been widely discussed on Jazzfans trading away Kanter for anything we can get. what has changed after two weeks of basketball ? I can remeber many people writing about trading Kwame Kanter for a second round pick or something similar just a few weeks ago.... Now after 2 weeks of solid basketball he is the Alpha Omega again ?
Yes, wouldn't it have been nice to see this starting group all of last season! Would have contributed to the overall evaluation.
Agree. But I also think DL should be very proactive. If he hears any news of Kanter visiting another team, he should be on the phone with the GM exploring a sign and trade. Don't want a situation where a team decides they can overpay to pry him away. In any case, his contract will leapfrog Favors' by 2 years. One of the two is probably kept going forward and the other traded, especially if the Jazz can eventually get a decent stretch-4. Once the new cap hits in 18 months, even a big contract for Enes will not seem so bad.
