If we pick kanter(i hope we do), we will have too many good big man on the rotation. So i think we have to trade one. This maybe either to move up to get brandon knight, or just a simple trade. I think, Enes and Favors are the future front line. They perfectly compliment eachother and they deserve greater roles in latest 1-2 years. And im pretty sure, jefferson wont accept a diminished role but millsap does. And we can open up cap space for keeping our young players in future instead of losing them. So i definitely would prefer to see Jefferson traded. What do you guys think?
 
I guess in my ideal world Millsap plays the role of super sub with Favors and Kanter starting (a couple years down the road). I dont think Paul accepts a backseat to those two, Im not sure Jefferson does either. So I dunno

i think millsap will in 1-2 yrs if those two players proves to be really good players. Because millsap has a less controversional personality than jefferson
 
Extremely difficult decision to make, especially seeing as Jefferson might end up improving in our system, and Millsap is valuable as a whole. I say hang on to Millsap at all costs, and only shop for Jefferson in certain instances. Otherwise, we have a young center in jefferson who still hasnt entered his prime, a young 6th man in paul millsap, and two hopefuls at SG and PF with hayward and favors respectively. I think our biggest necessity is at the SF spot. Whether we get one via draft (I think Singelton should be a lock regardless) or we trade the 3rd and Raja for a proven SF with a team that desperately needs a Kanter/Williams-esque player, its hard to say. Regardless, getting a strong, young SF is our biggest priority going forward imo. We have our very defensive 4, and potentially a talented shot-blocking 5. What we need is strong wing players, more importantly a strong 3. As far as a PG goes we will need one, but Harris will do for 3 years; besides, PGs are very easy to come by in the NBA whether it is via free agency or the Draft.

i think, with hayward and favors, and say we get enes and traded to get knight, we wont really need a very good SF. Its enough he is a good defender like Ariza

Kanter is worse than every NBA player under contract and over 7 foot. You can keep him over there, sep.

is it because u think every nba player under contract over 7 foot is very very good? or u saw enes play and u really think he isnt that good?
 
I like Sap, but he is the guy you have to trade unless you pick Kanter and trade him for Knight + a pick for next years draft.

I've seen an a grand total of absolutely nothing, nada, zip, zilch, zero, blank, ocean of emptiness, void, vacant wasteland, unprofitable, and, most importantly, a gigantic black hole that sucks the DarkaNikolowamekandi life out of the Great Utah Jazz.

Ford was a little worried about Kanter as well. He said the guy looked great in the Nike Hoops Summit, but that is like an AS game so Kanter is a gamble in a weak draft. According to him, the upside is a tougher Carlos Boozer. Anyway, there's always the chance we deal the pick.
 
We don't trade anyone, we let fes walk and bring sap and kanter off the bench. Okur is pretty much done, might as well let kanter get experience behind Jefferson for a while. Al/favors, with sap/kanter on the bench is a solid rotation
 
I see a lot of Paculia in Kanter. They are approximately the same size. Paculia has a decent jump and a little bit of a post game. If he was a couple of inches taller he would be a very good starter. As it is he is an energy role player. That is Kanter's downside.

Except Kanter is worse than Fesenko, with a lower basement, ZERO NBA (read that slowly, it's National Basketball Association, not rejected by Euro garbage waste) potential. Zero. Fesenko is a mile higher and can screw tighter bitches, including Kosta and Turiaf's merged clone. In fact, I'd redraft everyone from Bordchardt to Kosta on through that gorilla looking BYU guy before Kanter.

A tougher Carlos Boozer is AWESOME!!!

Yeah, it was an interesting podcast. It's probably still on the ESPN draft page. It was done this morning. He was a little worried about the small sample size we have seen from guys like Kanter and Biyombo.

Yeah, I heard part of it. I'm still so intrigued by Biyombo - but perhaps this is a mistake. Guess we'll find out soon what with the combine starting tomorrow.

Hey FRANKLIN, why so hyperbolic-ly down on Kanter?
