    Interest in Kanter => we don't expect LMA to sign with us.

    Nope. Literally every single big we have is a better defender than Kanter. Even Kaman's ancient ass is more useful defensively.

    I'd like to believe what you're saying is true. But.... I don't want to be the first. #denied

    Kanter > Monroe

    23 years old and with a lot of room to grow.

    Aminu, Kanter -- Neil is targeting young vets.

    I like it.

    I don't like him at all. It's like getting Monroe, but somehow WAY worse defense.

    I just do not hope we overpay for an overrated low post player with no defensive ability. Guys like Greg Monroe, Enes Kanter and AL Jefferson just don't make sense for our team.

    My diving coach used to tell me, "No such word as can't." Then he expected a kid beginner to do a double backflip off the high board.

    The Thunder were 15-11 (.577) with Kanter and 30-26 (.536) without him. Inconclusive. I expected a sharper difference, either pro or con.

    He has slow feet. I'm not a fan. But maybe he's a cheaper Hibbert?

    If anything he's the exact opposite of Hibbert. Good at offense, completely inept at everything else.

    Okay. I was thinking of two plodding Goliaths.

    "May" want to meet him.

    Sounds like he's a backup plan.

    Kanter put up 18 ppg & 11 ppg with a 24.9 PER on 23.9 USG in 31 mpg after going to OKC. Per 82games, he only allowed a 15.4 PER to players he defended. He spent a lot of time on the floor at the same time as Adams, so I'd argue that he can play the 4 as well as the 5. IF LA does leave, we could definitely do worse than him as an LA replacement.

    I want LMA back but... IF he leaves... work a S&T for Millsap (& whatever it takes to get Carroll also in a S&T). If LMA stays, I'd MUCH rather have Adams v. Kanter (hell... even if LMA leaves I'd rather have Adams, for a lot of reasons).
