Nobody likes bigs who can't shoot 3s these days. That's also a factor.
This is baloney ....you better have a Center if you want to compete

So many posters are looking for every little thing Kanter does wrong to discount all the things he does right. However, that's not what makes a team a team.
For example, Melo is a talented player who put up big numbers -- but he no longer FIT. Kanter does FIT.
He compliments KP. His hunger to be that junkyard dog and do all the little things is invaluable. His energy is infectious. He's a good locker room guy. He actually WANTS to be here. Plus, he's just damned likable.
You could replace Kanter with a guy who does everything by the book, and he could still not FIT. Kanter just works. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Let him be!

Bingo.
These guys have found chemistry with each other and that is priceless. Sometimes you don’t know where you are going to find it and something just works. If they keep playing like this I wouldn’t mind keeping Oquinn and Kanter if we can get them at the price of 1 max center.
The big addition the Knicks need to look to bring in is some sort of big time pg.

EDIT: Not saying we shouldnt be giving him minutes. We should. But I dont see anything long term. Let him get 15 and 10, then trade him near the deadline.

He's also polished on offense down low. Can rebound. Double double machine. Is he my dream Center? No. But i do feel he can play winning ball down low.

Thanks for agreeing.
Actually, our biggest need is a legit replacement for Melo at SF. Lee is a 2, as is THJr.

Noah,Mozgod, Mihinmi all got paid in 2016. Gms are smarter now. I think Kanter gets around 13-16m a year if he opts out. Nobody likes bigs who can't shoot 3s these days. That's also a factor.
