    If I were him I'd rather be in portland. Sure OKC has a better shot this year, but he also has to share everything with that masked ballhog and a former MVP.

    Also who the fuck would want to live in Oklahoma for half the year.

    Do you think they would be in the mood to deal with us after we did this to them?

    We did them a favor in a lot of ways.

    That gets me a bit excited, but where's the other half? The clip with his great defensive moves?

    I wonder what the story was with Dallas. I mean, he was in Dallas yesterday and signed here today.

    Well Dallas doesn't have the greatest reputation at the moment.

    Cuban was probably too busy chasing his tail to be very convincing.

    I noticed in watching the video of Kanter in Utah he took lots of outside shots. (And made them)
    But when watching the video of him in OKC they were mostly down low.
    My conclusion from watching the videos......they will match. Presti knew what he was getting when he traded for him.

    With Lillards. Sometimes elite offense has to be enough

    Believe it or not we might be a more desirable destination than Dallas at this point. All they have is injured guys like Wes and Parsons and old ass Dirk.

    @Schultz_Report: Sam Presti on record that OKC intends 2 match offer 4 Kanter. One NBA insider tells me Presti likely will not. Never been a luxury tax team.

    @Schultz_Report: Being told Suns were willing to give Kanter 10M per year, basically half. Blazers feel this is all they can do.

    Please note Kanter did have some knee issues in his youth, but it's plausible they were tied to his youth.

    @Schultz_Report: OKC paid $2,793,950 in luxury tax last season. Presti just doesn't do it. Matching Portland's max offer sheet on Kanter? I just don't see it

    I thought max money for Monroe was kind of crazy. This is even worse, but honestly I guess it was BPA and maybe it all works out. Now all the other teams can have Enes envy.

    I mean, this is Clay Bennett we're talking about. Presti may want to match but his hands could be tied.

    What's the tax implications if they match?

    I love the 15% trade kicker. (That is about 2.5 million) Neil knew Presti would match for at the very least just to keep the asset for trading purposes down the road. This makes it a little tougher.
