Kanter, 26, fell out of the rotation because the Knicks wanted to play younger players. :lol:

I wonder which team will actually get Kanter after he clears waiver. Can't think of any contender wanting him.

That's not a bad fit, actually. And you know Enes doesn't hold grudges so he'd welcome the attention. I could see him on the Blazers maybe or the Mavs?

Boston? We’ve lacked a center for the past 30 years

I’d love to see him come to Boston! He might be able to help the Kings with their playoff push as well if they still want him.
