This.

We all need to remember that Kyrie and KD were settling on playing together in Brooklyn around the same time Kyrie did his "If you'll have me back I'll re-sign" speech.

Then he went about sabotaging the season. We were lied to and cheated and now we're cleaning up the mess of that terrorist attack. Be patient with moves like Kanter. It's the best we can do right now.

Horrible in defense, but will abuse guys on the other end. He is the best offensive rebounder we have had in decades

Lots of switching and doubles on defense

Steal of a pickup for peanuts

True. I like the pickup but I'm going to hate when an orange parking cone lights him up for 27 points each night. His D is brutal.

Wow, Shams

Kanter definitely showed something to me during this year's playoffs. He's 27 yo

All aboard the Kanter train!!! I'm all for it!

Noice!! I've wanted this for days, everyone in here probably knows this by now.

Exactly. We'll find a way to hide him on D. After watching Horford trying to "rebound" for 3 years, we'll appreciate his rebounding prowess.

We have 2 young guys who can take a huge step forward this year. They're given the keys to the castle. Kemba is a great leader and will create a team first environment. Hayward is surely going to look better. All we need is a capable big to compete. Anyone like Kanter could be fine.

Plenty to look forward to.

Including some intriguing draft picks.

Remember the teams we were trotting out just a few years ago? This defense is going to be FINE because these guys are gonna CARE. I really believe that.

With Grant Williams as well.

Yeah, I like him too. He was very productive in college. He should be able to contribute right away.

Canter is perfect for the young guys. The way he stood up to LEBRONTO a year is perfect. We need that figure in our dressing room. I kind of feel that this team will be very fun to watch. Our D might be **** but offensively we're giving everyone the D.

We are getting harrassed defensively with Tatum playing at 4. Have a weird feeling we might see a lot of Williams minutes.

When's the Kemba-Kanter introductory press conference?

FlatearthZorro · Post #1094 » by **FlatearthZorro** » Mon Jul 1, 2019 7:08 pm

Decent signing. Dude is a great rebounder and scorer on the block, a chair on defense tho.

Still considering everyone is gone, this is a best case scenario type deal.

Still has to be proven if Brown/Hayward/Tatum now with Kemba can work, especially without Horford Kanter can get buckets but he doesn’t necessarily help the offense either let alone the defense

People on this board wanted to sign Vuc for big money, this is a great contract

Well kanter was compared to horford when he came out of college. The guy’s 6’11. We need size.
