Yeah I don't understand what are pause is on this...we could simply offer him more then Houston and it would be done. Olshey probably busy trying to sell Kaman for a babe
Aaaand just like that we have no cap space for the next 4 years and a reserved seat to the ass end of the lotto. Any team giving a max deal to Kanter is going to feel like they just woke up in Bangkok with a new tatoo and the receipt for a baby elephant in their pocket.
OKC will match bro. I'm almost sure of it. You tie your division rival's hand and steal Adams for half price
Yes, but technically all free agents must do this. Meaning nothing is truly set in stone until then. July 9, is best for RFA because they must sign the offer sheet first, then the other team can match or decline. No point showing your hand until then.
OKC has publicly said they plan to offer him max and will match any offer for him. So you saying they are planning Godfather part 16?
Kanter may not be worth the max, but remember he was only 22 years old last year. And I don't know that he's any worse defensivly than Monroe, who most on this board seemed to want. But he is one of the best big men in the game offensively(better than Monroe). As Neil said, bring in people that bring something elite to the table.
I'm not trying to disagree here buddy. Read it again... We gambled that he would stay. He didn't and hence we burned the house down.
It will only be 4 years, and we have a lot of guys on mediocre contracts for quite some time. We already had our mass exodus.
If the gamble paid off, you get one of the top 3 PFs in the league. If you gamble on Kanter and lose, you get a project at all-star price. Ooopsie! Not good.
