He's a good dude. I hope things work out for him in NYC.

Thanks Enes for what you brought to this organisation.

We will miss you (probably more off- than on-court).

Very likable guy, will be missed for his personality more than anything, but I will miss his one of a kind skills and footwork in the post. It's too bad he is so bad defensively, because his offensive game is just spectacular. I wish him well.

Truly saddened about this but you gotta do what you gotta do

I bet Enes has a break-out season in New York.... people will say they never should have traded him, not realizing that his role was never going to change coming off the Thunder bench. I just feel the eastern conference is a place where Enes can look like a genuine starter.

Best of luck man, I'm always going to be rooting for you.

Probably my favorite OKC player personality wise. Wish he could've been apart of this new situation.

So I've never been more sad to see a guy who I really didn't like as a player go. I hope he's a focal apoint in new York and people appreciate the things he can do. He deserves a lot of success for the person he's been his entire time here.

I will miss Enes more than any other player who has left the organization. I knew this was probably coming but I don't like it AT ALL. You are family Enes, always.

Kanter will be one of only five bigs in the entire NBA next year that average 20 points and 10 rebounds. I have never in all my years of watching the NBA from the early 80s seen a player with the scoring and rebounding skill this man has get utilized so little and receive so much criticism for his supposed lack of defense even though he was a tremendous net positive game in and game out. It wouldn't surprise me to see him average around 24/12 and be an all-star next year. As far as OKC is concerned they are only going to be better because Anthony will take Kanter's scoring role but will be getting the minutes Kanter should have been getting plus the starting role. He actually averages less point per minute than Kanter but since he will be getting around 34-36 minutes the team will be substantially improved.

We all knew it was coming and it was just as funny as I thought it would be :lol:

Hornacek was his assistant coach at Utah, I am sure Hornacek appreciate What Enes brings in to the play. He probably knows him better than anybody in Knicks management. He deserves a coach who appreciates his talents.
