    Well Westbrook was first in ORPM for PGs (yes, ahead of Curry) and Kanter was playing with him, so...

    If this happens I wonder where the playing time for Mason Plumlee would be

    He's the guy I want to see the most. Vanilla Gorilla 2.0

    I think they get equal minutes. Defense and offense

    Yes--Vonleh, Davis, and Plumlee all recorded max reaches of 12' or higher. Aminu's was equal to Kanter's at 11'10", and Leonard's was a little lower at 11'8.5". (For the record, Kaman was 11'9", 12 years ago; I imagine he's a little lower now.)

    So you people who actually want us to GET Kanter:
    - If he's good, we'll get more wins and a lower draft pick (and we'll have much less cap space)
    - If he's bad, we'll get a good pick, but we'll be stuck with a guy who his old teammates in Utah were openly contemptuous of, only on a huge contract

    You better believe he makes us a contender.

    Makes me wish we would have kept rhj if we get kanter.

    The only bigs we have with value that we could trade are Leonard (I hope we don't deal him) or kaman because of his contract.

    We can't deal vonleh or plumlee until late augustish unless by themselves.

    No idea

    “We haven’t received an offer sheet as of yet,” Thunder GM Sam Presti told The Oklahoman on Thursday afternoon. “But our intention has been to match offers on Enes and nothing has changed in this regard. Enes expressed his desire to be a part of the Thunder in our meeting with him yesterday and we have planned in advance should he receive an offer such as the one that has been reported.”

    From the Oklahoman

    If he's good, he replaces what Aldridge gave us, at 7 years younger and $4M/year less. I'm in favor of that.

    I wonder if they went with the 15% signing bonus, just to make things that much more difficult for the Okies.

    It's kind of a lose lose for OKC. Kanter isn't worth the contract but they have zero ability to add talent if they let him walk. He's a useful backup big man. If they let him walk the only benefit for next season is purely money saved. Not what Durant wants to see.

    If we get stuck with him I'll be disappointed; but with the rising cap it's a contract we could likely get out of next summer. Biggest concern I have is his selfish play rubbing teammates the wrong way.
