He could be offered a lot of tax free money in Turkey.

And the jazz moved a future RFA by choice for two reasons. First, they liked the return. Second, to clear room for a future starting all star center and max contract beast. So there should be no sour grapes from the fan base over this

He's at it again. Dude is just a salty person, he needs to let it go.

Seems like butthurt jazz fans cant get over it and feel the need to post a thread about Kanter every weak, just to make themselves feel better

Do you know what butthurt means?

Something jazzfans feeling lately beacuse Kanter didnt wanna play for their **** team, right ?

We'd rather see him knock another team out of the playoff race...this year it's the Thunder.

In all fairness, Durant and Ibaka being out, and Westbrook missing the first month of the season play a little factor in this too. Essentially what the article states is that Kanter a minor net negative for the team -1.4, with Durant and Ibaka they would win most of the games, and they could probably offset his defensive deficiencies a lot. Either way, Kanter hurts them a little, not much, but in the end of the day, do you pay someone big money who doesn't have a net positive rating? I would think an average center would you give you a 0 net rating, while an above average would raise it, and a below average would lower it. It just basically tells use what we knew, he's a very good offensive center, but a terrible defender, and the defense is further on the negative side, than the offense is on the positive side.

haha why in the world would I be fishing for clicks? I didn't even write the article.. He just states in it that he made an active effort to not be in contact with the Jazz leading up to the draft cause he didn't want to be selected by them. Now he doesn't diss the organization this time but he didn't want to be here from the get go, period.

So yea, click bait. Story is almost a year old and nobody would care at all anyways if they weren't already fired up.

ha k Mr. Negative. It says it was published a day ago. If you actually read it, which you probably didn't. Why are you so sad? A lot of your post are of you crying like a little baby.. If you don't like it don't respond or click on it like the rest.

Good article. However, after reading it, my primary thought was, why didn't Utah trade him sooner?

That's a big part of the reason I didn't like what the Jazz did with him. They backed themselves into a corner instead of being proactive.

I doubt we would have traded him at all without the emergence of Rudy. He became expendable.

That's some funny stuff right there. Heh, heh. I can't wait to see who gets the blame for the disaster that will be his OKC career.

Gotta hand it to the guy, he truly is an entertainer.
