"Monson: Jazz need more than what they got for Enes Kanter"
https://www.sltrib.com/sports/2199197-155/monson-jazz-need-more-than-what
There's a lot of people on here who like him, but I've always considered Monson to be a Grade-A idiot.
To the Editors:
Regarding Gordon Monson's recent column, "Jazz Need More Than What They Got For Enes Kanter," isn't the role of a NBA sportswriter to help their readers understand the complexities and nuances of the game and team management?
Mr. Monson paints a portrait of a stark situation where the returns for Kanter were not befitting of a #3 draft pick. But are they better than nothing? There is a strong likelihood that Kanter would have taken Utah's qualifying offer at the end of the season, allowing him to become an unrestricted free agent in 2016. That's also the year that the salary cap explodes by a significant margin, meaning that the likelihood of a disgruntled Kanter staying in Salt Lake drops to just about nil.
Two years ago, Mr. Monson advocated for trading Al Jefferson or Paul Millsap instead of letting them walk in free agency, writing, "It would be better for the Jazz to trade one or both of their bigs for other assets and draft picks."
And a year ago, he wrote, "If there is no superstar in this group then why did Millsap and Jefferson walk for nothing?"
You can't have it both ways, Gordon. As your past-self argued: some assets are better than no assets.
Let's hope that, in the future, you elucidate the complexities of business in the NBA with more effort than what Kanter will give Oklahoma City on defense.
My letter to the editor I just sent to the Trib:
Wow you did that? Good on you brah.
I have heard that we don't bleed points with kanter in the game in certain line ups. (Exum instead of Burke, etc)I love it when peoples see Kanter's per minute stats, inferring that he's being restricted, and expanding his role on a team would bring THESE stats forward!!
Uhh guys, he's started for this entire season.
The reason we don't play him more is because WE ****ING BLEED POINTS for every second that he's on defense.
Teams would literally organize their offense around exploiting the Burke/Kanter P&R defense

According to Locke or something
Eh, I have been watching every game. When exum, millsap, hayward (good perimeter defenders) and gobert are on the court with kanter the defense has been pretty good imo.I hope ur trollin me.
Locke's "Kanter defense" tweets of last night were probably the biggest bastardization of basketball-analytics I have ever seen. Nearly unfollowed him for it (I probably still will). Complete shill.

Very underrated part of this trade is getting rid of Novaks expiring contract. We got paid a second round pick to take his contract. We just unloaded him freeing up cap space next year to sign free agents. This free agency period will be valuable since the cap increase means players signed this free agency have a higher chance of being bargains later. He should be counted as net value for the Jazz by unloading him. I think the Jazz played him more the last couple day before the trade deadline and wanted him to shoot a lot to get a contending team to see value in him.
